Sweet, Sweet Sapporo [Food & Dining]
Some say sushi has become about as overdone as cupcakes or bacon or any other trendy food that comes and goes. I say, who could ever get tired of sushi?
Lobster Macaroni and Umami at Avalon [Food & Dining]
Lately in the world of food, there's been a lot of brouhaha about Umami, the fifth taste (after the more easily recognizable sweet, bitter, sour, and salty) that imparts a fuller, more savory flavor to any dish. Ingredients like aged parmesan, fish oils, and truffle impart this highly desired fifth element, and elevate simple foods into the realm of the divine. This weekend, I experienced a rush of Umami at Avalon on Bardstown road.
Making it BIG at Oishii Sushi [Food&Dining]
What can I say, I like big things. Resist the "that's what she said joke"; I'm serious. I like giant burgers dripping with cheese and mayonnaise. I like towering ice cream cones drizzled with chocolate sauce and chopped cashews. And I LOVE big sushi, the kind of sushi you have to strain your jaw to chomp down on.

Coupleville part 4.1: A guy's attempt to put a year of love into one week for the woman he love's birthday [Food & Dining and Love]
So as I wrote last I was planning my wife's "29th" birthday next week beginning Tuesday, August 2nd. I pretty much had an original plan which included a bike ride and camping trip to Red River Gorge, a couple things we both love. (If you haven't been to Red River Gorge, Jefferson Memorial Forest, Bernhiem, or any other Kentucky State Parks, I strongly recommend you get out there while there's still time to get out there - as I always say "If you don't go, you'll never know".)
CVS at Douglass Loop: Not Dead Yet [News]
CVS, which attempted to get the Twig and Leaf property for a new drugstore, has reignited its interest in putting down roots in the Douglass Loop area.
According to Terra Long, legislative assistant to Councilman Tom Owen (8th District), the Woonsocket, R.I.-based chain is still trying to acquire property in the Douglass Loop area. Despite the landmark status granted to the Twig and Leaf restaurant this past April, a number of buildings—including Café Metro—are still vacant.
