It's art because it's out of focus.
We never need an excuse to go to Haru, but Susie being in town is a guaranteed occasion for a Haru visit. This will make no sense to you unless you’ve experienced it like we have, but Susie and I agree that sushi at Haru is better than sushi in D.C. By that we don’t mean that it’s better than all sushi in D.C., since it’s not only possible but probable that we haven’t eaten the best D.C. has to offer. But the fact that Susie has been to numerous sushi joints in D.C. and thinks Haru is better than all of them speaks very highly of Haru. Denise and I enjoyed our D.C. sushi at Sushi Taro but didn’t come away from that experience rating it higher than Haru. At this point I’m confident in saying that Haru is better than most D.C. sushi places and definitely a better bang-for-the-buck than all. Jackson is just full of surprises. Who would’ve thought that sushi in Jackson would be that good? » Continue Reading…
Ruchi India waiting area
I’m continually amazed by how diverse the food scene is in little ol’ Jackson, Mississippi. It’s definitely not to the level of proper cities like New York, L.A., etc., but for a 300,000-ish population city in the deep South it has more than its fair share of ethnic (there’s that term again) cuisine. I’ve already posted about Japanese and Caribbean, and this time it’s Indian. While Susie had lunch with friends of hers, the rest of us ate at Ruchi India. Ruchi India serves, predictably, Indian food–”North & South Indian cuisine” according to their business card. On weekdays they have a lunch buffet, which is what we had. » Continue Reading…
Arrival
My sister Susie is here from D.C.! She touched down Thursday night. Only gonna be here for a few days (will be flying back tomorrow), but we usually see her a couple times a year at most so we’ll take what we can get. Notice nobody is walking behind her? I think she was the last person off the last plane from that side of the airport (terminals are divided into 2 sides).
Also notice the alphabet soup of signage all around this checkpoint. I counted 12 signs all clustered in this small area. Flying has become such a hassle these days. I don’t mind extra security checks and hassles, but at some point it gets kinda ridiculous, no? Who could read all 12 signs before starting the security check process even if he wanted to? The ironic thing is that all the ways we can think of that terrorists might try to hijack/disrupt a flight are already old news for them and they’ve moved on to new and innovative ideas.
