Posted on June 30, 2011 by Ryo

It’s been a while since my last post. I had some good eats in Vegas last week, so I thought I’d share some pictures, since I love drooling over food pictures. The Twenty-Vegetable Fried Rice from China Poblano at the … Continue reading →

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Ryo

I went on a short trip to Vegas just this week. It was the first time I made it out to Vegas this year. I ate a ton of food and drank a lot, which I imagine wasn’t great for … Continue reading →

Gin and Juice

Posted on June 19, 2011 by Ryo

I really dislike gin. Every time I had it in the past, it reminded me of pine needles. It’s what I imagine Pine-Sol would taste like, were I to drink it. Hopefully, I’ll never have to drink Pine-Sol. Unless I’m … Continue reading →

Lychee Cupcakes Revisited

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Ryo

Bubble Tea at Home

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Ryo

I love bubble tea, aka boba. If you haven’t had it… where have you been? It’s sweetened tea, sometimes with fruit or other flavors and/or milk mixed in, with tapioca balls in the drink. They give you a big fat … Continue reading →

Wii U

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Ryo

Nintendo announced its next console at E3 this week, called the “Wii U.” Not only does it have a ridiculous name, but it also has a ridiculous input device. The thing has its own 6.2-inch screen. I’m supposed to hold … Continue reading →

Midori Madness

Posted on June 7, 2011 by Ryo

Back when I was a kid, I really didn’t like melons. Most other fruit, I really liked, since I’ve always had a sweet tooth. But honeydew and cantaloupe, for some reason, didn’t do it for me. Maybe my mom just … Continue reading →
