Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

Okay, so it's been a while. I've been eating, of course; I just haven't said much about it. I've been getting my food-opinion ya-yas out at Yelp. But tonight I was doing a little bit of shopping and it struck me how uncommon my neighborhood is, foodwise.

See, I live in a predominantly Asian neighborhood. As one of my Chinese friends explained to me, many folks of Asian descent have severe lactose intolerance. And so it is that I can find five-spice tofu in a refrigerated vacuum pack by wandering around the corner, but I have to trudge five blocks to get a quart of milk.

I like it, really.
