"muck" sauce is popular. - Who knew ginger in fruit salad could taste so good? - Some great finds from the local flea market. - Shipping containers make [...]

After two months there, I head to Indonesia and Japan to travel by bicycle with a couple friends for another two months (only catch is that so far I don't really have a bike for the trip yet). So updates around here might go from sporadic to sparse, but [...]

(photos from the last few days with the Newmore Switchblades, more here ) Newmore Switchblades tour - part 2: - Grabbing dinner at Rosetta's Kitchen in Ashville, NC where they had pay-what-you-wish soup and corn bread. - Zipco bringing a lazer-sighted pellet gun to the show and shooting people when they least expected it.
