Birthday Dinner At Seabar
Category: food

We made it to Seabar after the driveway fiasco. The food was delicious as always. I am obsessed with the crudo. It's s tough decision between that and the Chirashi.

Yuummmm. Its made me hungry. I want try squid. Its cute

I depends on the kind of fish. Yellowtail, salmon, tuna are all very neutral smelling as sushi but something like Makerel (saba) is very fishy. :::link:::

sina - 01/25/15 04:26
ok sure, we can going to eat sushi ^_^
but I have no idea about it taste or even smell! maybe they use a fish without smell

paul - 01/24/15 16:36
Omg, raw fish is amazing but it has to be very fresh. But that is actually raw beef in the last picture. It does look a lot like tuna. If you ever visit we can go eat Sushi.

wow looks good. but i never tried raw fish and other sea foods.

American Repertory Theater of WNY
Category: theater

Birthday dinner night, we are in a rush bringing (e:terry)'s mom from the airport in order to get to get to dinner. We try to pull in our driveway and someone from the play has our whole driveway blocked as well as pedestrian access to the linwood sidewalk.

We decided this time to go in and give them the chance to move instead of having them ticketed but the fuck face who works there decided the suspension of disbelief was more important than the 100 dollars in fines for his patrons.

I am going to buy a bullhorn. This is the last time I am going half hearted into defending my property rights. Next time they are going to be fucking sorry they started this. I hope no one feels safe coming there anymore. Rules are simple you stupid fucking idiots. Don't park in my driveway of you don't want trouble.

Why don't you just announce this at the beginning of each play. Feel free to call me an asshole and tell them how I will call parking enforcement.

Crab cakes and Crème brûlée
Category: food

I love the chocolate bar on Chippewa. It makes any day a celebration. I had crab cakes and a crime brûlée. Sounds like it would be gross but it's actually an amazing combination. They also make their own mozzarella sticks inhouse.

Yeah, they call that picking crabs. I don't get it either. It's a lot of work and a lot of carnage. Native Marylanders explained to me that there's a social aspect to picking crabs, deeply ingrained in the local culture. You're supposed to cover a table with newspaper, drink cheap local beer (National Bohemian), and plan in spending hours chatting and picking crabs. If you come to town for this again, or crab cakes, let me know! I'd be happy to show you around Bmore.

Sounds like I'm going to have to travel for some crab cakes. The last time I was in Maryland I got a bucket of the blue crabs themselves. While they were absolutely delicious, it required an enormous amount of effort to extract them. I want to try the cakes next time.

ExBuffalonian - 01/23/15 08:51
First, Happy Birthday! Second, are those crab cakes deep fried? If so, that would not go over well in Maryland, where the crab cake is taken very seriously, worshipped even. I don't brag about Maryland too much, but they definitely got crab cakes right here in Baltimore. That said, Balitmore's best chicken wings are probably on par with Buffalo's worst.
