Episode Details

Cleaning continues, gf says “It’s not that much.” But… I DID post some stuff for sale!

Met up with a few old colleagues. How are they doing?

-Off to the Friendship Store (?)

-Ate at Carbo, a pasta-ria

-Then to DuLi for dessert but they didn’t have anything worth sticking around for

-So off to Jenny Wang’s supermarket (a knock off of Jenny Lou’s?) for ice cream

And is fois gras now a thing in China? Is this why Blue Frog introduced it a while back? Kinda makes me wonder, why can’t you start a business in China? Well, what great idea do you have? WSJ article here:
