Udon Mugizo (Japantown, San Francisco)
had a karaoke night out and needed some starch to soak up some booze. i ordered the shrimp tempura udon, and my friend had the nabeyaki udon with kimchi, egg and chicken. there does seem to be some difference between the broths, but i wonder if was just added flavor from the extra ingredients cooked in the nabe. his arrived at a much hotter temperature than mine.
i'm beginning to think that udon just isn't my style. the noodles seemed to have a bit more texture than the other offerings in japantown. they weren't gummy, but they were still soft, fat noodles. the broth was decent, but as i said, my friend's was better. tempura was two shrimp, a kabocha slice, sweet potato, and broccoli with a slightly thick batter that was a tad greasy.
i liked it. but it made me want to go back to ippuku in berkeley for the only fresh soba i know of in the bay area (monday and tuesdays only) with excellent tempura. and yakitori, of course. if i'm in japantown i'll go back but i think i've realized that udon just isn't my favorite noodle.

What happened to spinach in recent years?
try korean markets. i believe atlanta has a few. months ago here in san francisco i searched in vain for spinach for a day. piles of it at a korean market the next day.
there were four kinds of kale and at least three colors of chard at a local whole foods, but only baby spinach, which i believe should be kept in a dark corridor out of sight.

Top pho in the Tenderloin (SF)?
i've enjoyed the southern styles at pho 2000, especially when ordered with the fresh, flat rice noodles, and they're open until 8:30 PM.

Ippuku Teuchi on Monday and Tuesday evenings with limited yakitori menu available - how limited? [Berkeley]
after reading that teuchi soba was back on the menu on monday and tuesday evenings, i headed there tonight with a few friends. i managed one soba lunch back when it was offered on friday and saturdays, and mourned its passing. i love soba noodles, and i don't think there is anywhere else locally that serves it handmade.
but there was more than soba. there is no online menu, at least not on their site, so i'm paraphrasing at best. we had
hiya yakko, cold tofu served in a soy-based sauce, maybe ponzu? showered with bonito. good, but i think i would have preferred a softer tofu.
nanban shishito, cold savory, sweet, and vinegary shishito peppers, with thin slices of onion and shiitake mushroom. i thought this had a nice balance between sweet, savory, tart, plus the mild bitterness of these chiles and the unpredictable hot one or two in the bunch.
deba/teba/wing, the partially deboned wings were fine. first bite was underseasoned but the rest was tasty and juicy.
"thigh oyster", was very straighforward, juicy, dark meat. the "oysters," i suppose being the gems usually plucked from a carcass by a deserving cook.
neck, i was expecting...well i wasn't sure. i was thinking of the spiny necks that come with whole chickens and turkeys, which i usually think of as a cook's treat. stringy, delicious meat stripped off the spine of the neck. but this wasn't like that. it was deboned, skewered, but seemed like whole small pieces of meat bathed in a delicious tare, and pressed around the skewer in an almost half moon shape. i'm not doing this piece justice, and i didn't take pictures out of respect of the restaurant's no smart phone request. but just go eat it.
breast rolled around shiso ume filling, was dry to me, and i don't see why the bright, tart saucing wouldn't pair better with dark meat.
kani korokke (dungeness crab croquettes), were delicious, if...small. two golf ball sized croquettes made of bechamel and dungeness crab meat rolled in panko and deep fried, served atop shredded cabbage in a tangy worcestershire like dressing, echoing the bulldog sauce that often accompanies tonkatsu and other breaded fried treats. this was really good. rich and subtle. but my friend's mom makes the best kani korokke ever and i'm biased. but order it.
shrimp and veggie tempura. they were separate orders. the shrimp came with two sizable fried shrimp and a shishito pepper. i think these were gulf shrimp judging from the richer flavor, slightly iodine. the veggie serving came with deftly fried fanned out eggplant, kabocha, a half moon slice of onion, shishito, a green bean, and a slice of japanese sweet potato. the batter was light and the frying was right on. no breaded, feathery wings coming off the food. this was fresh, tender ingredients (especially the eggplant) with a thin, greaseless, coat of batter.
one of my dining companions had zaru soba, but i opted for the kake soba, in hot broth. i kept changing my mind before ordering, because i didn't want the hot broth to detract from the texture of the house-made noodles. but the broth was delicious. savory, just sweet enough, and deeply rich. i don't remember the last time i picked up my bowl and drained the broth after finishing all of my noodles. i had a bite of the cold zaru soba, and i think the texture does shine better in a cold prep. but i like noodle soups.
the flavor of the noodles was comforting. light and of the earth.
the host came over to us at the end to explain why the soba is limited to monday and tuesday. apparently it has something to do with those being the nights off from doing the raw chicken preps, freeing up the kitchen. i guess the soba making was a bit a of a to do before, and interfered with dinner prep? that's what i understood, at least.
we had a delicious if unusual sake that was pink and just so, sweet wise, made from "ancient red rice" and described as not unlike rosé wine. not a bad description, this was quite nice. oh i made a note of the name: dewatsuru sakuraemaki.
i wish that there was any competitive game in the bay area for fresh soba noodles. i love ramen. but i love soba noodles, and i've only had a few experiences with the handmade thing.
and as far as yakitori, that neck meat and "thigh oyster" were MY favorites tonight. i'll be back.

Hakka Restaurant pre-ordered specialties [San Francisco]
thank you, both you and gordon wing for your helpful tips. the whole meal is a bit ambiguous still, so i didn't feel comfortable ordering any of the advance order specials. but i hope the meal still happens and if we are happy diners, a more planned out dinner with advance order specials will definitely be on the agenda for the near future.
my only experience with hakka cuisine was the pork belly with preserved mustard greens at ton kiang years ago. i hope this dinner happens and that i have praise to report back.

can anyone elaborate more on the stuffed duck? i'm trying to coerce some folks into coming here for my late birthday dinner saturday night, but so many of my friends can't guarantee yea or nay. if i reserve this afternoon, is that enough time in advance? their website is not...helpful. otherwise, i was thinking of the salt baked chicken, the pork belly over preserved mustard greens...anything i'm not remembering? i'm checking the threads but they're mostly 4 years old. thanks in advance!

last night four of us dined at chef yu or yuyu za zang in oakland. my friend and i are interested in sampling a variety of different versions of the noodle dish known variously as zha jiang mian, jja jang myon, za zang (which anglicized this way doesn't make sense to me because there is no Z sound in the korean language), and i think at san wang in japantown as noodles with plum sauce. which makes even less sense. in english, i think "noodles with black bean sauce" is more accurate when describing this chinese dish and it's much loved korean cousin.
so last night we tried this spot in oakland. we ordered the regular jja jang myon, the seafood gan jja jang ("dry" jja jang. i've never understood how it can be dry when it is still coated in sauce), fried mandu, cold jellyfish salad, and tang su yook, or sweet and sour beef.
the seafood gan jja jang myon came with a breathtaking amount of crudely chopped onion and a child's handful of overcooked squid. i thought the noodles were too soft, and the sauce tasted...limp. the regular jja jang myon was better, but still seemed to lack any of the fermented funkiness that jja jang or chun jang pack. it looked right, but it just tasted one dimensionally rich. again, overcooked noodles.
the jellyfish was tart and sweet, but i prefer this to come with some more mustardy heat. fried dumplings were satisfying in the way that freshly fried crispy food can be.
tang su yook was probably my favorite, but that may just be that i haven't had korean style sweet and sour in many years. chunks of beef that seemed lightly tossed in corn starch or rice flour came fresh from the fryer on a platter, with the sauce on the side with slices of napa cabbage, carrot, onion and pineapple. i wish i could find a place that served this with the combo of cucumber, onion, and wood ear mushrooms that i encountered years ago in korea. the sauce had a pleasant vingerar tang, and although it was sweet, it was nowhere near the sugary syrup that coats american chinese versions. plus...it wasn't orange.
so overall, a disappointing dinner, but maybe an inspiration to search for better versions of both chinese and korean noodles in _______ sauce.
oh. suggestions? thanks!

Kin Khao - Thai-style Thai in SF
i want to go back and try the veggie version for comparison. not for heat, just to see how the two stack up. i hope i didn't come across as smug, or judgemental about the spice level. i of course understand that everyone's palate is different.

Kin Khao - Thai-style Thai in SF
i was there today at about 12:30, and also ordered the khao soi. mine came out sooner than yours, fortunately, but i was prepared for service hiccups on the first day of lunch service.
i really enjoyed the khao soi, but for me the spice level before i doctored it up was fairly mild for my palate, but three little spoonfuls of chile oil did the trick. i ordered the chicken version and it was perfectly cooked. poached, i believe, with both white and dark meat if i recall correctly. the pickled mustard greens gave a nice sharp contrast to the heady, rich curry sauce, plus the fresh raw shallot slices. my lime wedge was less than juicy. the noodles were perfectly cooked for me, with just enough chew, and i love the textural contrast between the crunchy fried noodles garnishing the bowl.
pim was there checking on the tables and i was very pleased to tell her how much i enjoyed my meal. i look forward to going back with a group for dinner. or just again for lunch whenever i need a khao soi fix.

i have a friend that used to pack up the carcass and force one of her friends to take it home because she didn't want to deal with it. yes she's weird, but when it was my turn, i was pleased! made delicious soup with it. i absolutely hate roasting turkeys but i'll gladly make stock.

What do you appreciate when you come home from international trip?
i feel that my travels are too infrequent and too short. a couple years ago, a week in japan. this year, two weeks in germany and france. honestly, i didn't miss anything. if anything, i missed things from those countries when i came home, even though here in san francisco i think we have some pretty fantastic food. if i were gone for, say, months, i know there are things i would miss from home.
although, when i got back from scotland almost a decade ago, i bought a head of broccoli and ate it whole as i just needed something green to eat.

Rincon Peruano in San Francisco
i've been walking past this spot nearly every day for years and finally walked in a couple weeks ago, curious. i ordered an empanada and the pescado frito for take-out to split with a friend at a nearby bar. the fried fish came with four small breaded fillets of...white fresh-water fish, white rice, some iceberg salad, and some of that green hot sauce. the fish was perfectly fine, if not super flavorful. it was well fried, light and not greasy. the hot sauce perked everything up with a nice, bright heat.
empanada was meh. dry, almost sandy crust. filling of beef, onion, potato, boiled egg. not very interesting flavor, and a bit under seasoned. i gave most of my half to my friend. but i was still curious about this place and vowed to go back.
so today i grabbed a tamal, which came as you described yours back then, but mine had no salt pork and instead was studded with two or three peanuts, an interesting addition. it was smooth textured, and with the lightly pickled onions made a great snack. although i found the chicken to be a bit dry and stringy.
food seems good enough to warrant further exploration, especially as i do walk past it almost every single day.

teuchi soba lunch at ippuku [Berkeley]
i know the soba lunches are mentioned in the main ippuku thread, but since they have such limited availability, i thought i'd post about my lunch separately.
last saturday i joined two friends for lunch at ippuku to try the teuchi handmade soba, which is only available friday and saturday from 11AM until 2PM or until they run out (60 servings per day). i ordered the ten zaru soba, cold noodles on a bamboo tray with shrimp and vegetable tempura. one of my friends ordered the same and the other ordered the tororo soba, cold noodles with grated mountain yam and raw quail egg.
we also ordered a few appetizers: the hiya yakko soft cold tofu with minced pickled eggplant and bonito flakes, asparagus in a black sesame dressing, and a dashi maki, rolled omelet flavored with dashi.
this was only my third time trying freshly made soba. the first was in tokyo a few years ago, the second at NYC's soba koh a little more recently. i enjoyed both of those meals better than this one, but that is not to say that i didn't like these noodles. the noodles were toothsome and bouncy. the dipping sauce seemed nicely nuanced. the shrimp tempura had good flavor, unlike the anemic shrimp crusted in battle-armor fried batter common elsewhere. the veggie tempura consisted of kabocha squash, okra, a shishito pepper, eggplant, and a shiitake mushroom, accompanied by a light and fresh dipping sauce.
i tried a bite of my friend's tororo soba, and one bite is just enough for me. i could appreciate the contrast between the rather mucilaginous yam and raw egg with the firm bite of the noodles once, but i find that texture too challenging for a whole meal. just not my thing.
towards the end of the meal, they brought out a kettle of hot soba water, the water used to boil the noodles in. this starchy liquid is poured into the remainder of the dipping sauce and consumed like a soup or hot beverage. its very soothing.
the hiya yakko was a refreshing starter. good flavored tofu paired with the slight astringency of the minced eggplant and the smoky bonito flakes. very thin asparagus cut on the bias with black sesame sauce was nutty and tasty. the dashi maki was surprisingly pale in color, as if there was very little yolk. indeed it was less rich than other versions, and it was served hot with grated daikon. it was more savory than a lot of other versions, as well, much less sweet.
for various reasons unrelated to the quality of the food i ate, it's not likely that i'll make it back anytime soon for a repeat lunch, which is a shame because i thought it was a solid meal. i wish that the bay area shared the same passion for soba or even udon as it does for ramen. until then i look forward to the next time i can make it across the bay on a friday or saturday for more of ippuku's soba.

Pho 2000 in San Francisco: Breakfast of Champions
i forgot about this post until a late morning search turned it up. after this past week's gorgeous weather was marred for me by my first ever real bout of seasonal allergies in my lifetime, which, being my first time around, turned me into a big cry baby from lack of experience, i decided that today's relatively cooler weather and my labored breathing called for a soothing bowl of pho.
i got the #1 dac biet as well, with the fresh noodles and remembered to order the rare meat on the side, which i always forget to do. won't forget to do so again, because there's such a difference in texture when you're in control! i found the noodles to be similar in texture to turtle tower's. i've read some people note that the broth is a bit sweet, but i didn't find that to be the case. i thought the spice was balanced, for southern-style pho. i've been avoiding this style for a long time because i don't like overly assertive star anise. i liked the textures of the cooked meats, and the sprouts were fresh and firm, unblemished and clean. basil sprigs were equally fresh and bright.
it just seemed like a quality bowl, and i'm glad i came across this post again so i remembered to ask for the fresh noodles, nice and silky compared to the stodgy clumped mess you often encounter elsewhere. i think i came here once before to try their bun bo hue, but it must not have registered as memorable. but when i want sprouts and herbs in my pho, it's good to know this is here, and i felt so much more like myself after eating this bowl.

Feb 02, 2013augustiner in General Topics
i came here tonight purposefully seeking out the ramen. except we didn't eat any. my buddy just had surgery on his sinuses and needs to keep his head elevated, and i decided that bending down over a bowl of noodles just wasn't the right medicine.
so instead we had: (off the specials menu) stuffed shiitake mushrooms. so two shrooms stuffed with a seasoned ground pork filling, coated in panko and fried. this was really good. almost like a tasty gyoza stuffed into a shiitake mushroom and fried, kushikatsu style.
karaage: to me it was sort of...eh. but i don't think i love karaage in general. i keep encountering weak crust. this was drizzled with the "spicy" sauce, which tasted like bbq. the meat was tender, and i think unlike yours, was juicy. it was yummy to me, if uninspired.
takoyaki: this is just such a weird dish to me. after gorging myself on kushi katsu-like dishes in osaka in 2011, i got up from the bar we went to afterwards and announced that i was going to eat takoyaki, since i was in osaka. i was looked upon with fear, but i went and did it. this was a bizarre revelation. gooey mouth burning balls of sticky batter stuffed with octopus, covered with powdered nori pickled red ginger, and drizzled with bulldog sauce and kewpie mayo.
so i wasn't in osaka and these won't take me back there, but i liked them and so did my recovering scottish buddy. the "wasabi cream" was drizzled instead of kewpie mayo, but didn't really have that sting.
seaweed salad? like anywhere else's.
tsukune skewer? i agree that maybe yakitori is not the way to go here. there was nothing wrong or memorable about the two preps of tsukune. shio vs. tare? doesn't matter, and if i didn't know they were grilled over charcoal before hand i would never have noticed.
nikujyaga: i love this dish. it's totally homestyle cooking and i can't think of another restaurant that has it on the menu. its almost a japanese answer to beef stew, but not....
"niku" means meat and "jaga" is short for jaga-imo, which, i believe, makes nikujaga translate directly into english as "meat and potato." it was stewed potato, onions, and carrot and a touch of green bean cooked with paper thin, sukiyaki or shabu shabu style sliced beef, rib-eye, i think. cooked in dashi, soy, and sake. it is a dish i've only eaten in my japanese friend's mom's kitchen, and i love it. i think if western palates were exposed to this home-cooked meal, they'd go wild for it. this version is pretty tasty, but not revelatory. i think that's the point, though. its good, hearty, delicious food, but really humble.
still want to go back to try the ramen. saw a few bowls going around, and they smelled good, but...
and dessert: green tea and red bean ice cream with small scoops of red bean paste and mochi-ish gummies. ok.
so i will go back, and hopefully experience more of that menu. after my tasty but pricey meal at izakaya yuzuki, which seems to be more of a refined dining setting rather than the spirit of a japanese izakaya, i have some hope for roku.

What's for Dinner, #184 - the BRRRRRR edition (for most of us) [old]
Phew! after that terrible fire on capp st. just recently, i've been so nervous about one in my building. just a year ago, my building benefited from my nocturnal hours when i heard a smoke alarm going off in the building that wouldn't stop beeping at 5 in the morning. i found the apartment and banged on the door until the tenant woke up. he had passed out drunk with a pot of instant ramen on the stove, which was shooting flames towards the ceiling. i put it out in time, but i think my lungs are still black from smoke inhalation. apartment fires are no joke.
anyways i'm glad no one got hurt. as for what i've been cooking in this chill: yukgaejang, korean spicy shredded beef soup loaded with chili powder, garlic, bean sprouts, fern shoots, green onions, and egg. with rice and kimchi, of course.

izakaya yuzuki report [San Francisco]
here's a copy-paste excerpt from an email to a friend tonight about my dinner at izakaya yuzuki. sorry if it reads a bit personal in spots, but i don't have the energy to re-write my review:
"after trying to decide between various nice italian places i've been wanting to try (barbacco, cotogna) or going back to l'ardoise, i decided instead to go to izakaya yuzuki after studying the menu. so i went and was seated by a very warm, friendly staff. i ended up ordering the following
obanzai: these change daily, and are three different servings of "kyoto style" vegetables in individual cups. tonight these were burdock, lotus root, mountain yam, carrot and konnyaku in a soy broth. the second was honey-glazed sweet potato with black sesame seeds, and the last a thin piece of fried tofu and two chunks of simmered daikon in dashi. my favorite was the root veggies in the first cup, especially as i really like burdock and lotus roots.
tsukemono: rice bran pickled veggies. these were thinly sliced pickled cucumber, baby eggplant, daikon, baby turnips, and carrot. the eggplant was my surprise favorite. i'm so used to eggplant being fried in some way that this clean textured pickle was a nice delight. the rest: nice palate cleansers, but the pickling is mild, and maybe i wanted them to have more character.
chicken skewers: one tsukune, or chicken meatball, and one of chicken wing. i guess the restaurant prides itself on culturing its own koji, the spores used in the fermentation of soy products and rice for sake. the chicken is marinated in that and salt. i don't know how much it affects the flavor, but that was one tasty chicken wing. just wish there were more of them and for much less money. the meatball was good too, but not as good as the wing.
kakiage: shredded carrot and burdock wrapped in nests around shrimp and shiitake and deep fried. these came with a green tea salt and a squeeze of a type of japanese citrus, but not yuzu, along with grated ginger and radish and a dashi dipping sauce. its better with the dipping sauce. the shrimp were delicious, but i feel like at a place with a kitchen gunning for a certain caliber of cooking, these could have been just a tad more carefully fried. it was a little greasy, which i don't associate with fried japanese food.
chawan-mushi with uni. savory hot custard garnished with uni, a strip of yuba, or soy-milk skin, and a touch of wasabi. i'm just not a fan of uni. i get the idea of the dish. the rich, briny sea urchin roe goes with the creamy custard, almost smoky from the dashi its made with. but i just don't get uni. in fact after trying to eat a little bit of it with the custard, i just decided to swallow the entire uni and get it out of the way of the custard, which had a piece of shiitake mushroom and a chunk of their house-made fish cake.
a soymilk "panna cotta" with okinawan black sugar syrup. i liked this. it had the clean flavor of really good soymilk, and wasn't sweet. the sweetness came from the syrup on top, which was quite sweet but had a depth to it. it is not going to outshine a real panna cotta, but for an asian soy dessert i thought it was really good.
i had a glass of shochu as well. the problem? including tax my bill came to $64. which would have been perfectly fine, and in fact, quite reasonable if i had been sastified. but as i walked home i realized that i was still hungry. but...really really hungry. i had to eat something else when i got home. i could have easily eaten three or four more plates before i was just satisfied, which would have pushed my bill way up. so yes, it ranged from very good to delicious, but if i come back here again with some other people, i think i'd have to know and be comfortable with the idea of spending a minimum of $100 minus tip. so...very special occasion indeed.
i'm glad i went and it definitely threw off my glum mood. maybe even BECAUSE i was still really, really hungry after spending chunk of change. its kind of funny. if i could change my order i think i would swap out my chawan-mushi for the "salt-koji" cured and grilled aji. i saw one of those fish come out butterflied and charred from the grill. it just looked really healthy and delicious. "
any other recent reports here? i want to love this place. i just don't think i want to pay the $11 for the special pot of koshihikari rice to feel well fed.

Tamales - SF Dish of the Month (Dec 2012)
did this come from a woman on the western side of the BART station, with a greased wrapping of parchment paper encasing the banana leaf? and was the texture which you described as "great" pretty soft, not grainy, and maybe a little difficult to eat by hand without it collapsing a little? if so, this came from a tamale vendor i haven't seen in a very long time (maybe my timing is off), but i love her tamales.

Revisiting Garçon [San Francisco]
i had a nice dinner here the other night with a couple friends. one had the duck confit leg with seared breast and dirty rice. had a bite of the duck, thought it was nice. i had the streak frites, and agree the truffle butter was a lighter touch than i expected, nice frites. french friend picked a nice wine, couldn't tell you what it was.
then dessert. my friend remembered a pot de creme that was very tasty last time we were here. but there was none on the dessert menu, which was just weird. we asked if it were possible to still get the pot de creme off menu, but out very french waiter said no. he also said, with visible impatience (not towards us) that they have a new pastry chef and all the old desserts are gone. he also said that in spite of that, that particular pot de creme is the single most requested dessert by people who have dined there before. we were among the many who asked the same question. so we had a back up dessert: profiterloes with dark rum anglaise, fleur de sel, and chocolate sauce. the one catch though was that it also came with passion fruit gelato. not one of us though that sounded like a good match. but we also did not want anything else on that menu. my friend pointed at the description under the creme brulee and asked me, "what does that MEAN?" the creme brulee comes with strawberry soup and salad. just seemed like a lot of pointless gilding the lily.
so THEN my friend asks if we can substitute the passion fruit gelato for.... "vanilla?" the waiter interuppted. "no. the new pastry chef will not allow vanilla ice cream in the kitchen." we were apparently among the many who had previously posed the exact same question. he went to the kitchen and said they could sub a honey gelato, which we agreed to. the other flavor on the menu was green apple, and we didn't want that, either.
so the dessert was good, if the honey gelato was a bit too sweet, but the fleur de sel countered that.
so, LONG story short, we had a lovely dinner and for the duration of the current pastry chef's tenure, i think i will just skip dessert.

NEW: Pig & Pie, SF Mission - sausages, banh mi, spiced pecan pie, shaker lemon pie, local beer on tap
i ate the lardo burger a few weeks ago. you said you hope it isn't "inedible/undercooked." its definitely edible, as i enjoyed it quite a bit, but depending on your preference, it might be undercooked. it was quite rare. a little bit more than i would usually like, but i thought it was delicious. the lardo was not incorporated into the patty, but was thinly sliced on top of it, where it melted, adding an elusive richness.
i'm not a burger fiend but i would easily go for this one again. nicely toasted bun, thick patty...and yes, rather unmemorable fries.

Cooking from Fuchsia Dunlop's new book, "Every Grain of Rice"
recently acquired the book, and decided to try this one first. i think it would have been more successful if i used a different tofu. i used an unfamiliar brand and it was too firm for my taste. i think a lot of the supermarket tofu in the US really firm and dense, while i'm used to and prefer softer tofu. I was expecting the interior of the fried tofu to be supple, to contrast with the crisp (or chewy after braising in the sauce for a few minutes) skin.
that said, the sauce was delicious and i wouldn't hesitate to make this again with a softer tofu, and maybe a little bit of pork.

For example on July 18, a long march race and blood donation event was held, involving around 7000 participants consisting of Panasonic employees and their families, dealers and suppliers. Through these celebrations, Panasonic commemorates the success of the joint venture of Panasonic Gobel that has reached its 50 years anniversary and also sincerely thanks the people of Indonesia who have been supporting the business success of Panasonic Gobel Indonesia.
Maintaining Environmental Sustainability through Eco Products
Panasonic Manufacturing Indonesia reduced its CO2 emissions by 30% or 7523 tons in the year of 2009 versus 2006. Creating innovative and environmentally friendly products will continue to be the main theme of Panasonic in order to meet its vision of becoming the No. 1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry by 2018.
How Panasonic Gobel Indonesia came to be
The Panasonic-Gobel cooperation began in 1960, at which time a technical cooperation agreement between PT Transistor Radio Thayeb Manufacturing and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Japan) was signed. Two years later, the first black and white televisions were produced in Indonesia with technical support from Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., and through this cooperation and synergy sharing, both companies grew positively together. On July 27, 1970, a joint venture between PT Transistor Radio Manufacturing and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd was formed under the PT National Gobel. In 2004, the National brand was changed to Panasonic, and since then the company has become known as Panasonic Gobel.

A Cheese Trip to Vermont: Consider Bardwell, Blue Ledge + Twig Farm

Four years ago, when I first moved from New York to the Boston-area, I can only describe it as a collision of worlds. Although the change of pace is less noticeable for some, it took me extra time to adjust to the relatively gentle mobility of Beantown as compared to that of the Big Apple.
After finding work at Formaggio Kitchen, and as I established a comfort zone with my newly adopted environment, I was given the opportunity through the shop to visit a series of farms in western Vermont. I had never traveled that far north in the United States before, so I jumped at the opportunity.

We love Thanksgiving. It may mean a variety of things to a variety of people but there are many common threads – turkey, family, friends, cranberries, football, a full stomach and, in many cases, an afternoon nap or walk. This year, we checked in with our domestic cheese buyer, Tripp, who has put together a wonderful Thanksgiving cheese board, incorporating a cross-section of milk types and textures. He draws on some old favorites but also includes a couple of newer cheeses that we think are destined to become classics in their own right! (more…)

Celebrate Independence Day with a cheese plate that is "Made in the USA!" Tripp, domestic cheese buyer in our Cambridge shop, is recommending four cheeses for this July 4th ("four for the fourth!"). All of the cheeses hail from Vermont and represent varying textures, styles and milk types. Whether you try one or all of these cheeses, we think you'll be as impressed with what is happening on the American cheese scene as we are! (more…)

Brosé: [broh-zey] –noun a pink wine enjoyed with friends.
'Tis the season… to drink pink, of course! Everyone and anyone who knows me, knows that once spring has sprung and things are starting to blossom and turn green, all I'm thinking is pink.
I wait all year for this season to arrive and look forward to the array of rose-colored bottles that appears on the table at our Cambridge location. So, when a fellow monger asked me to write a little something about rosé for the Formaggio Kitchen blog, I figured it was the perfect excuse to revisit some old favorites while trying some new pinks too!

Anyone have anything exciting going on this weekend?
|Fri, 01-20-2012 - 8:32am
Boy...I'm tired reading about your weekend, Tracy!!
Tonight I'm stopping at the store on my way home.
Tomorrow the girls have cheer camp from 9-11:30am.

Tomorrow David is going to clean the old house some more(he is a ridiculous person) and then maybe going to dinner:-)
Sunday we have church and then David will probably start packing and get ready to be in the field next week. I might make a run to the grocery store but I might wait I don't know.
|Fri, 01-20-2012 - 9:51am
Tonight after work I plan on taking the early zumba class (I skip out of work early to make it and get home about the same time I would if I didn't go).
|Fri, 01-20-2012 - 11:32am
Tomorrow Lena has swim and I think I will take Emma for snow boots. We are supposed to get 3-6" tomorrow and we have about 2" out there now, so tomorrow will be playing in the snow and drinking hot chocolate!
Sunday is football. Not sure how much of the patriots I will get to watch. The game starts at 3 pm which is when the kids are getting up from their nap. If its on, Geof will be glued to it and clueless to everything else which means I'll have to watch the kids. We will probably have them eat dinner in front of the tv again and see if they will watch a little. They had so much fun with our little picnic last week. Giants start at 6:30 which means I will put the kids to bed and Geof will start the game without me. Then we will eat dinner ourselves in front of the game. Beer and sloppy joes and wings, oh my!

According to a statement from her rep, the 47-year-old's procedure was "preplanned" and was a follow-up to a previous surgery Jones had after she developed a thoracic tumor nearly 30 years ago.
In August 2003 Jones had gastric bypass surgery, which led to her losing 160 pounds.
She turns 48 on March 24.

So i had purchased this with intentions of trying it as shaving lotion, as im always trying to get the smoothest legs i can get and keep them smooth for as long as possible.
I just smeared some of this on during the shower and shaved as i normally would, but whereas it is oil, IT WILL CLOG YOUR RAZOR. its not a shocker. A simple fix to this is dap and push a thick conditioner through the razor blades to pick up the oil, dead skin, and hair that is trapped in your razor then rinse it all out. Youll need to do this a few times throughout shaving, but the end result was worth it. My legs felt super hydrated and smooth for a few days! Ive used this method for the past 5 shaves now and it seems to be working fine for me! Although its a pain in the ass.
-skin felt hydrated
-skin felt smooth
-that awesome baby smell
-my boyfriend couldnt stop petting my legs after shaving
-lasted for a few days
-time consuming
-clogs razor
-not a fun time
-youll probably need to replace your razor after 2 uses with this method.
I also found that this worked nicely on the bikini area as well! it kept it smooth hair free for a few days, rather than it usually coming back within 30 hours.
I love this product! I use it for my legs, arms and hands. Before I had this I avoided most lotions because I have eczema and my skin is extremely sensitive to a lot of products. I've tried many lotions to keep my arms and legs moisturized without having my eczema flare up and this is the only product that works for me. It has also helped the itching of my eczema and I don't need to use the steroid cream my dermatologist gave me as much.
The only problem I have is that it's oily (of course it is an oil gel) so after I use it and touch things, the oil spreads to the area I touch. Usually I just wipe my palms on a towel or tissue to help with this.
I definitely recommend this product and hopefully it works for you too.
I bought this for use as a shaving cream. If you have Pinterest you've probably seen this saying it will "change your shaving game". No. This doesn't work as a shaving cream at all simply because it is an oil. Oil and water obviously do not mix and I didn't really think that through before I bought this for shaving. This gel clogs the razor and you can't wash it away easily because again oil repels water. Also it made the bottom of my tub slippery. My legs felt smooth after but it's too much to deal with everytime I need to shave. I did give it five lippies because it is a good moisturizer and it's not marketed as a shaving cream.
This review mostly covers baby oil gel for use as a shaving gel, but also includes use as a moisturizer. I used the version that contained shea butter.
I read online that this could be used for shaving legs - that it made legs super smooth, and gave a nice close shave. This was true for the first swipe of the razor. But it went downhill after that. This is oil in gel form - therefore, it clogs up in the razor and is super difficult to wash out. Most shaving creams wash easily out of the razor, but not this. Because it's an oil, it doesn't wash out easily. My razor was clogged after one stroke, and I had to (attempt to) clean it out with soap each time. The razor got progressively clogged, and as a result, the nice clean shaves weren't so close and clean anymore. I also couldn't tell exactly where I had already shaved, because the oil is clear. It was a mess, and made shaving pretty dangerous - the razor, my hands, my legs, and the shower became slick with oil. I had to throw my razor out afterwards, and spend time trying to wash the oil from my legs and from the shower floor.
I would not recommend shaving with this, or using it in the shower in general.
Note: I wouldn't recommend using this, or any baby oil, as an every day moisturizer. Baby oil is mineral oil, which comes from petroleum. Most oil particles in this form are too big to properly soak into our skin's pores. Instead, they just sit on top of the skin instead of actually moisturizing it, causing your skin to become more dry. This also causes breakouts. Also, excess oil can cause your skin to stop producing its own oil, again making your skin drier. This goes for coconut oil and other similar oils as well. Some oils, like jojoba oil, apparently have smaller particles that are able to soak into the skin. Only use baby oil once in a while for special occasions, especially if you have sensitive skin!

Very Pleased...just came home with it a little while ago & put it on my hands
while they were damp & my hands are feeling so much nicer & soft....put on just a little...bought the gel with the pink cap,it smells like Johnson's baby powder which
makes me happy...
More reviews by JessieValentine
Same great smell as the original baby oil and same great feel with a little bit more consistency to use as a shaving cream and an after moisturizer. Gel baby oil keeps my legs so silky smooth i can't stop touching them. It's light, smells great, and just a few squirts and you have moisturized sexy legs. Couldn't live without this. Especially during the fall and winter time.
Along with Vaseline Cocoa Butter Gel, this is the moisturizer with the mostest. Hydration for days. Affordable. A miracle if you have chronic dry skin like me. Have been using for years and don't see myself stopping anytime soon.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Cheap, hydrates dry skin perfectly and leaves skin with a glow. I tried it based on the reviews from MUA posters & as usual they were right! Thanks MUA!
I am not a fan of the packaging. I wish it came in a pump.
My skin would be nothing without Baby Oil Gel. I have mild eczema, and it works wonders for my skin. It's gel texture is what's so perfect. It's not like normal Baby Oil which is so slippery. The BOG locks in the moister of your skin keeping it hydrated throughout the day. I absolutely love it. I only use it at night though along with my Nivea Soft, because I'd be super greasy looking in the day time. I do however still use it on specific spots though especially in the winter time. I normally use the lavender one too because of the smell. I love Baby Oil Gel !!!

I have SUPER dry skin, lotion just doesn't work for me. So I started using body oil on my wet skin after a shower to help with the dryness and razor bumps. I always hated the oil being so messy/sticky so I was thrilled when I saw this oil gel. I didn't mind this the first two times I used it, then I started to notice that my skin felt VERY itchy. I thought it may be my shower gel(since I had just started using a new one of that as well). But when I switched back to my old shower gel it still felt the same. So I've stopped using this, it just irritates my skin too much. Disappointing though as I LOVED that this was so much easier to use. Bummer!:(

Sterling STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling." Silver

Chain Size:

Springring SPRINGRING CLASP: Invented in the early 1900s this diminutive device is highly effective. It's a hollow circular metal fastener with a spring opening. This keeps the clasp closed.
Fits Chain:
4 mm
Chain Included:
Stone 1:
Onyx ONYX: A favorite of the ancient Greeks and Romans, this glossy black gemstone adds a sophisticated shine to rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Perfect for day or night, onyx delivers a dramatic dose of color to gold and sterling silver jewelry designs. (Color: Black, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Size: 50 mm)
Stone 2:
Garnet GARNET: the birthstone of January. One glance at the deep red seeds nestled inside of a pomegranate explains why the word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "grain" or "seed." This name was given to the garnet because of its close resemblance to the succulent seed. (Color: Burgundy, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round Cabochon, CABOCHON: A style of cutting gemstones to achieve a smooth, domed surface with an absence of facets. Weight: 5.90 carats, Size: 10 mm)
Stone 3:
Rhodolite RHODOLITE: Rhodolite charms in a range of feminine shades — from rose to raspberry to purplish-red. Lighter than a ruby, rhodolite garnets offer a lovely luster. Rhodolite can be a delightful twist on the traditional January birthstone. (Color: Purple, Quantity: 4, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 0.40 ct. t.w., Size: 3 mm)
Stone 4:
Diopside DIOPSIDE: Though quite rare, diopside is one of the most affordable green gemstones. This gorgeous newcomer, mined mainly in Siberia, lights up jewelry designs with vibrant shades of green and makes an ideal choice for pendants, rings and earrings. (Color: Green, Quantity: 4, Shape & Cutting Style: Marquise, MARQUISE: An elliptical shape that comes to a point at the top and bottom. Sometimes referred to as a "navette." Weight: 0.50 ct. t.w., Size: 5x3 mm)
Stone 5:
Topaz TOPAZ: Available in a stunning selection of shades, the topaz's sky blue hue is one of the most popular colors for jewelry designs. Once thought to offer protection, today topaz is favored for its durability and affordability. Yellow topaz is the birthstone for November while blue topaz is for December. (Color: White, Quantity: 100, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 1.00 ct. t.w.)

'Electrick Children' Trailer: Music Can Totally Knock You Up, Ruin Your Mormon FamilyMovie News By Kate Erbland on March 11, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
While music can certainly have an effect on people and their lives, in Rebecca Thomas' Electrick Children, a cassette tape is blamed for something a little more outside the box than just the usual "oh, man, I love this song" – it's seen as the culprit behind young Julia Garner's unexpected pregnancy. Oops? In Thomas' feature, Garner's Rachel is a product of a strict fundamentalist Mormon community, and when the fifteen-year-old becomes unexpectedly (and quite inappropriately) pregnant, she believes it to be due to some kind of immaculate conception at the hands (sounds? dulcet tones? wheels?) of a cassette tape. Not content to "fix" the mistake by marrying a fellow Mormon boy, she sets out on a journey that takes her to Las Vegas, where is apparently mistaken for a hipster chick by a long-haired Rory Culkin. This stuff happens all the time.
The film was a hit at last year's SXSW Film Festival (our own Gwen Reyes called it out as one of the best films of the fest, writing that it "has a huge heart and so much whimsy it's nearly impossible to walk out not smiling") and is now open in limited release. Electrick Children absolutely sounds like an indie gem worth seeking out, at least based on its hearty praise and this new trailer.
Check out the trailer for Electrick Children after the break but, beware, it might get you pregnant.
Electrick Children is currently open in NYC and Los Angeles. [Yahoo! Movies]

2013 Honda Accord EX-L Review
Looks nice. Handles very well. The power seat with lumbar adjustment is great. I have a bad back and driving distances is hard on me, but not with this great adjustable power seat (love the leather).
Affordable Honda Quality/luxury With Good Safety Features — I like the orchid white exterior and tan leather interior. It makes the car look good. Look at the pics I uploaded, it's a looker. The car is very spacious. Some say this model rides a little ruff, but it handles like a sports car so the ride will be stiffer which I personally don't mind for better handling which makes it safer. The car has alot of safety features found on more expensive cars. Honda seems to have found the right blend of electronic conveniences without going over the top with to many bells and whistles. All of the electronic conveniences are easy to figure out and use for the average person with a simplified technical manual. My husband took his old Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running 4.4.2 and made an enclosure for it and then installed it in the open space in front of the shifter using a usb lighter adapter to power it. This provided me with a touch/voice Navigation aide, a bluetooth media server for music using 29GB+ on the SD card, using an app with a 5 band EQ, bass boost and surround sound control makes the cars premium 6 speaker/subwoofer setup really come to life. You'd be amazed at how much better the cars stereo sounds with this setup. Plus the Galaxy Note 2 is also removable so the front seat passenger or rear seat passenger can play games on it from the Google Play Store or leaving it installed and using a Moga Pro gamepad to play games that support Moga Controllers. We use our home's wifi to load music and games on the Galaxy Note 2 while it's in range or use open wifi spots around town. This has been a great after market feature my husband created for long trips we take using this car. My car has the 16 valve 4 cylinder engine which has plenty of get up and go. The gas mileage is better than the 24 valve 6 cylinder engine which is unnecessary unless you're hauling around a car load of heavy people with the trunk full too... The Honda Accord EX-L is a solid value and has an excellent resale value too. If you're looking for Honda quality with some style that won't break the bank, look no further than the Accord EX-L.

2013 Honda Accord EX-L V6 w/ Nav Review
Economical, Fuel Efficient, Comfortable, Luxury - Feel, Smooth ride
Slow throttle response, Loose suspension
Very Nice Family Vehicle — This car was a great car all the way around. The appearance of the car was sleek and sporty, yet comfortable and roomy at the same time. Car preformed well. Quick acceleration when needed, it just took it a while for the gas petal to tell the motor to GO!
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2013 Honda Accord Touring Review
Fast, looks, adaptive cruise control, lane watch, interior material.
cheap floor mats, bluetooth, doesn't give tire pressure for each tire, variable cylinder management is not seamless, electrical problems.
Fast With Neat Tech, But Has Issues. — I like the way the car looks, and enjoy the power of the engine. Furthermore, the technology features of the car are a great bonus. However, I am not a fan of the variable cylinder management which is felt. Also, the bluetooth has compatibility issues with the Iphone 6.

2013 Honda Accord Sport Review
Love the paddle shifting, and handling! the interior for this model is black, easy to clean type fabric. Trunk is large. Very fuel efficient!
Up to this point, haven't had any problems with the car.
Earthdreams — You open the hood, and the first thing that jumps out is the engraved engine block that says "Earth Dreams" unlike the common "I-Vtec" you see on newer Honda models. The car packs a small punch for being called a Sport, but its very gas efficient! so its a balance - the sport comes only in 4 cyl. falling short of 200 hp. but not bad when it gives you 38 mpg!

2013 Honda Accord EX-L Review
Great commuting and family car. Comfortable and fuel efficient. Nice extras.
2013 Accord Review — Like everything about this car. Styling isn't anything special, but do not buy cars based on their styling. As far as I can tell, Honda got it right with this version of the Accord. Seats are comfortable (unlike the 2012 Accords) and its a great car for commuting.

2013 Honda Accord EX Review
gas, smooth ride, spacious, gadgets
Very Reliable And Fuel Saver — My only gripe about this car is the lack of power, but hey, I didn't buy it to go fast. It rides super smooth and I can drive to Houston and back in less than 1 tank of gas (about 540 miles round trip).

Get this –Google's Street View is sending users back in time. The internet giant has added a new feature to its street view maps. Now you can look past street view images dating back to 2007 on the desktop version of Google Maps.
Google says the new time lapse feature will allow you to explore an area and see how places have changed. We're talking landmarks like the Freedom Tower in New York City and the 2014 World Cup Stadium in Brazil. The feature can also be used as a digital timeline of sorts. Users can take a before and after look at areas following devastating disasters like the tsunami in Japan.
Google's Street View launched in 2007. It's the closest thing we have to a teleportation device. With just a few key strokes you can take a trip to places like St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy, without actually having to leave your house.
The time lapse feature appears in a window within Street View along with a bar users can manually toggle to change years. Users can also check out different regions during different seasons, like a look at the Great Smoky Mountains during the fall.
Read the official blog post on the announcement here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/go-back-in-time-with-street-view.html

In his current exhibit at Spark, FRAMED (the light and dark of it), Bernier continues with the wall sculptures he first showed at Singer Gallery last year. In these, he combines words made of wooden letters with found objects that refer back to the words. Like those earlier efforts, the new ones are hieratic, giving them a devotional flavor reminiscent of altars. But there are some subtle differences, including the introduction of photo elements as key components, as in the title piece, for which Bernier assembled a lineup of old family photos. Also new-ish is the use of asymmetrical compositions. In "Forked" (above), the sculpture is essentially symmetrical in overall shape, but with lots of asymmetrical elements.
Though a solo, FRAMED has been hung with another solo, CROSSWALKS, that features recent paintings by Madeleine Dodge. The two shows have been installed in alternates, with a Bernier, then a Dodge, then another Bernier, and so on. I've said before that the Spark artists have had a hard time figuring out how to use their awful space, but this particular approach (which has been tried before) surely represents a failed attempt to deal with the problem.
I'm not sure when it happened, but Dodge has shifted stylistic gears big-time. For CROSSWALKS, she has moved away from the figural abstraction that she's done for many years and toward a minimalist approach that relies exclusively on straight lines.
Both FRAMED and CROSSWALKS run through November 12 at Spark.
