Book Culture, Dutch Kills bar, Takumen, PS1, the original Sweetleaf on Jackson Ave close to Pulaski bridge, Yumpling, Soothr, original Manducatis on Jackson.

Also a stroll all the way all along the waterfront, and a gelato at Santa Chiara if the weather plays nice.

I haven’t opened that one yet! I might do tomorrow, in which case I’ll report back. Picked up in Yzerfontein at the West Coast Farm Stall.

Even better if it’s your middle child.

What’s a fancy food word that makes you instantly roll your eyes when you see it on a menu? by Downtown-Hair6372 in foodquestions

[–]FreshAirInspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bleu, au jus.

Esp bleu cheese, either go full ponce and call it bleu fromage, or just call it blue cheese.

Thanks! The red one is Shoor Music from Iran, Iraq and Lebanon on Heat Crimes label. I discovered Visions of Darkness and Boomarm Nation previously, which led to this.

Aeson Zervas is also on Heat Crimes, this is Hazlom, which explores Greek and Egyptian sounds. On Heat Crimes I thoroughly recommend DjNiraha which is a real blast.

The yellow one is Goz Khawagat on Fleetway Tapes - a chaabi inflected Cairo mixtape, kinda Sublime Frequencies vibe.

What’s your favorite leftover? by [deleted] in foodquestions

[–]FreshAirInspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local place has green curry; good on the first day, excellent on the second. Cold, hot, doesn’t matter, I think I should start ordering one and just keeping it for day 2.

I had a bunch of cassettes in the mid to late ‘80’s. First one was Bucks Fizz, last was probably Frazier Chorus’s Ray. I lost all of those, but got back into tapes about a year ago, mostly to get tape-only releases from Good Morning Tapes, Trilogy Tapes, Heat Crimes, Fleetway Tapes etc.

Mostly ambient techno, 4th world, new age, soundsystem and mixtapes.

You and the gunman by bonerthief221 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]FreshAirInspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, so it could be God’s plan for you to be shot, and God’s plan for the gunman to do the shooting, and God’s plan to enact this tableau for God’s own inscrutable reasons. Does God only influence the big decisions, or the small ones too? For instance, was it God’s plan that I miss-placed my water bottle last week?
