Canadian Artic Surf Clams
Category: food

I usually pay about $2.50 per clam for these clams at the sushi bar but this week I found a box of 50 for $10.99. They are the best tasting clams I ever had.

Smashing Up The Closet
Category: bathroom
(e:robert) and I had a fucking great time working on destructing the old closet in the den that is going to become part of the massive walk in shower room we are building off the bathroom. I am so excited about getting started. The first step was dismantling the closet and I wanted to get it done tonight because it was garbage night. Too bad I am too tired to bring the rest of the trash out ;(

It was so much more work than it appears to be. Lots of dust and debris plus its taking forever because I am trying to remove all the nails from all the wood in order to be able to reuse the materials.

The idea is to turn it into something like one of these things.

But I also like the idea of combing the bathroom and the shower and making it a glass enclosed thing. They both have their own sort of appeal.

Wow I guess for the shower its self I like the first one best but tough to know what is the best for your place.....

So fancy! :) Guess I never think about how fancy bathrooms can get. Give me a working hot shower and a relatively clean bathroom and I am happy!

I like the shower room too... but would it be too cold? What additional heat sources are you gonna have?
Robert - 03/06/13 10:54
(e:lilho) i agree. Walk in shower ftw! Yesterday was so much unexpected awesomeness.
lilho - 03/06/13 08:32
Wow that's gonna be amaze and I can't wait to use that bathroom!!!!! I think I like the walk in shower room better than the glass one...

Asian Grocers In Buffalo
Category: food
Today I headed over the the
Ni Hoowa Supermarket Asian grocer @ 3173 Sheridan Dr after a doctors appt on N Bailey to pick up some more of the delicious Korean clear noodles I love. The ones they have there are made with sweet potato starch. I also picked up some more premium tuna and some frozen arctic razor clams. I love arctic razor clams so much. I also love frozen rice cakes for soup.

Then when I was heading home and at the coop, (e:robert) called to say he was done with school and I swung by to pick him on. Sadly I couldn't find the rice cakes he was looking for at Ni Hoowa, so once I got him we headed over to the Vietnamese grocer on Niagara st to see if they had them.

Like Mulberries, I was skeptical of the place based on the location but I couldn't have been more wrong. Seriously, the food was amazing and they have all kinds of fresh seafood including the largest oysters I have ever seen. (e:robert) and I ate 1 dozen steamed cherry stone clams for $7. Came with melted butter and lemon. That is pretty much cheaper than I can find them anywhere else, even uncooked.

I got so many other things. The place and the prices are amazing. I will go back very often.

There is also another asian grocery store right across the street. It is a lot more of a store and not a restaurant. I think it is owned by the same people. It is so crowded I almost couldn't fit down the isles. I did get okra, longan fruits and durian cakes though. Totally worth it.

Thanks Robert for showing me an awesome new place to get food.
