(I don't even know if it's a great place for Filipino food compared to New Jersey or California.)<br /><br />Jennie: I will I will! I wish I knew how to make Bonchon Chicken at home!<br /><br />Marvin: Oh, shush now, crazy guy :) I didn't have the papaya juice cos I'm *not* a huge fan of papayas (maybe that should be on a t-shirt).<br /><br />Claire: Still, you scared the poor sap! Ha ha ha. I had a wonderful time with the pair of you!<br /><br />Bridget: Oh noes! Where are you guys moving? Hopefully closer to NY! (Though I infer you are not, sadly :( )<br /><br />Lisa: I could, too! I wish they had more European stock, though :)<br /><br />Amy: My regret is not having an extra suitcase to pack a whole new set of pans and knick-knacks! ;)<br /><br />Debbie: Oh noooo! They don't have pretty patisseries in Virginia? Have to remedy that!!<br /><br />Zenman: To be fair, I didn't spend a zillion on medical school-- I am a scholar subsidized in part by the government ;)<br /><br />Peter: They are, aren't they? I hope I can spend more time with them next time! (Oh, and should I go to Ontario? Hmm)<br /><br />Lynne: Yes you DO!!! You will honestly not run out of places to go and things to do.<br /><br />Steph: Well, you have to plan your parking in advance, hehe :) I imagine you could have most of your kitchen needs mailed to you :(<br /><br />Anh: There will be time for fun later, I hope :) Gosh, pressure to cook/bake!!!<br /><br />Linda: Don't you hate it when the city is just within your reach but you can't go??! Ha ha ha!<br /><br />Elra: Ooh, my favorite part was the eating ;)<br /><br />Lori Lynn: No, not really :( But it is made up in part by the variety of choices :)<br /><br />Deeba: Gosh, it would be a waste of time turning crumbs wouldn't it? ;) Envy is the objective, my dear :)<br /><br />Helene: Wait for my next post, there will be plenty more to add to the list! ;)<br /><br />Pam: Next time you can browse my site before lunch, hee hee :) Go go go!<br /><br />Alexandra: Yes it does, doesn't it? So nice to live in a cosmopolitan city, heh :) (I'm such a city boy!)<br /><br />Syrie: I've already put it on my list thanks to you! ;)<br /><br />Holly: Yes! Mission accomplished! Ha ha ha ;)<br /><br />Marta: Whatta place eh? There were definitely plenty of amazing memories. I've never felt so scared/alive as I was when I was walking around there, kind of :) (except when I was in Europe!)<br /><br />Sara: Ooh, yet another one! Time to go again-- I'm sure the food has evolved even in a short time!<br /><br />Arwen: Ha ha ha, those damn luggage limits! The ice cream was "Australian Homemade," a Dutch company.<br /><br />Joey: I can't believe they called it a "recession" special back then!

I've never been to New York before although we always think about driving there, but never get around planning it. Seeing all that kitchen stuff was so exciting! It's so hard to find everything I need. I usually buy most of my pans when we have driving trips to the US. The 3 levels of heat reminds me of when we went to Japan. They had so many levels of curry. Of course I chickened out and picked the lowest.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497908859658953330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589144729472463179.post-12517781938877652992009-07-15T17:14:16.332-04:002009-07-15T17:14:16.332-04:00I want to go to every single one of those places! ...I want to go to every single one of those places!
