Chicken curry with cashews and jasmine rice
I finally hitched up the iPod to the Twisty Dining Hall speakers. My absorption of this excellent and fairly piquant chicken was aided by Bob Wills going “aw haw” in that weird falsetto.
I was intrigued in particular by a Bob Wills song called “Bottle Baby Boogie” (1953). In this […]
Young Stingray may be looking askance at her weirdly eggless tacos, but you cannot shake a stick at Kerbey Lane’s pancakes. This plate comes with bacon, which I consumed before remembering to take the picture, even though on this occasion it resembled the greasy fingers of death.

Ross sends this link to a photo essay on taco trucks. The essay contains this sentence: “… their ubiquity hides them in the everyday life of the city.”
