1992.11.11 – RAW Magazine Interview with Izzy

Music

"Yeah, music is partially my saving grace. It's been part of my life every day of the week since I was a kid. It doesn't have to be a specific type of music, it can be any type because the whole of it takes you away from the mundane, every day sort of thing.

"Being on tour, I find it like a luxury item because when I'm on tour I don't have a big stereo, I have a Sony player that cost 50 bucks, it's mono and it has this tiny speaker. For the first couple of days I only had my walkman which is fine for airplanes, but otherwise they're a drag. I found myself looking in the window of these shops at these stereos and there was this one in Chicago which was four and a half feet long and three feet tall. It was this boom box with neon lights inside it. It was really freaky looking, but I ended up getting this small Sony because it would fit in my bag, it plays cassettes and it records so I can write songs on it too. I find that if I hear a stereo now, even if it's a PA at gigs and they're playing a tape, it's a luxury and I really enjoy it."

Food

"Indian food and pizza are my favourites. I stopped eating meat a few years ago. I don't eat red meat or chicken, but I eat fish. I stopped eating meat shortly after I stopped drinking and using drugs. I think it was a case of wanting to heal myself a little quicker rather than objecting to meat, plus there were some cases on the West Coast where people were dying after they'd eaten bad meat. I'm big on salads. Salads in America are just a couple of bits of dead lettuce, but over here people are a bit more conscientious.

But Indian food and pizza are my favourites and that's why Chicago is like heaven to me because you can get a pizza delivered at 5am and it's damn good pizza. There's a place there called Mama Mia and they deliver all night long. They've got pizzas that are two inches thick with like a cracker crust with fresh tomatoes on top. "

Drink

"I like mango lassi and sweet lassi from Indian restaurants. My second would be fresh squeezed orange juice. Those are the only things I drink. I gave up drinking because I just had enough of waking up in my own vomit and not remembering who I was hanging out with the night before, getting arrested and all that stuff. Waking up in jail, and that sort of thing became old for me and I finally realised that I had to stop this and figure it all out. It wasn't easy and it took a while. I feel a lot better for not doing it."

Hate

"It's destructive in nature. Sometimes you can get angry, but it usually doesn't help fix anything. If I hate something I just get hung up on it and dwell on it. I find it easier to try and dismiss it. Otherwise it's extra baggage to be carrying around. You see hatred every day on the TV and some other places and that's enough for me, I don't need to live with it anymore."

Rock 'N' Roll

"It's that life blood. You can't put your finger on it. For me it's that other thing that only people who listen to it or love it know what it is. To the rest of the world though it probably doesn't mean shit!(laughs)

" The funniest thing I ever heard in Guns N Roses was from this guy in Canada called Gabe. God, he was hilarious! He said he saw something on English TV once that said no matter how many records Elton John sold in 1976, there were still 40 billion Chinese people that don't give a fuck and that rang so true to me- this was back in '86 so I've always kept it in mind. It's true. If you look at the globe and spin it and put your finger wherever it lands there's people there who don't know what Rock 'N' Roll is. For people who do love it, though, it's their whole life. For me it's very special.

" We used to have Rock 'N' Roll bands come to play at our house when I was a real young kid. My dad used to have these parties and me and my brothers were beer runners. The bands were always downstairs and I always hung out with them. When you're a kid and these guys would show to play stuff on the drums, it was great. They'd play stuff like (Credence Clearwater Revival's) 'Proud Mary'. I was lucky 'cos I got to grow up with that. I've been hooked on that ever since."

Drugs

"It's up to each person. It doesn't do any good to tell people not to do it. If people want to do 'em then they're gonna do 'em. All I can say is for myself they stopped being a good thing. It became a complete pain in the ass. It was destroying me as a person and I got to the point where I decided to give up. It wasn't like I didn't know 'cos you go through a peroid where you know you're tearing yourself up. I knew I had to stop or everything was gonna go down the tubes."

Sex

"It's pretty important, but to a lot of people it's hard to understand that it doesn't mean much unless you care about the person you're with. I'm lucky, 'cos I do."

Love

"It's a great thing. Everybody needs it and wants it. Life can be pretty bleak without it. I've got a German shepherd and I've had him since he was a puppy, ya' know. I bought him when he was just a twerp. He's three years old, he's healthy, he's big and he can run 40 miles an hour and he's great. I love my dog!

"I've had a steady girl for a few years and it's a great thing. Love makes life a lot easier."

Work

" I worked in a car wash when I was 15. I worked where the cars come out and you have to dry the cars off. In the winter time with the wind chill it can be 10 or 20 below zero, and that was real work getting up at five or six in the morning. It was cold and you've got these towels that are freezing and you're washing these fuckers off. Music is more something that you love to do so it doesn't seem like work. The thought of having to get a real job is difficult. I was never that good at keeping a straight job and getting enough money to do what I wanted to do. At the same time I had to work as a kid. If you gotta do it you do it.

" I've had different jobs. I worked in pizzerias and I actually enjoyed that. That was one job that didn't feel like work unless there was a gig or concert that I wanted to go to. In that case I'd leave work early anyway. I actually liked cooking pizzas, flipping the dough and stuff was cool.

"If I had to get another real job I would probably work in a pizzeria, or I'd work in the car wash and I'd be on the front end. The front end is where the guys would pump gas and vacuum the cars, and these guys were always the envy of everyone else who had it rough. This was back in the '70s when people would drive around with big joints in their cars. They'd smoke half a joint and leave the rest so that when one guy pulls up with half a joint in his ashtray, what happens to the joint? It ends up in the pocket of the guys who are up front who'd smoke them! I think I'd rather work in a pizza place though where it's warm and there's music."

Road Trip AUgust

A Inuyasha, Legend of Zelda, Swtor, World of Warcraft, Wildstar, Urusei Yatsura, and Fairy Tail crossover for @promptsbytaurie event AUgust 2024 day 8 road trip AU, featuring my original characters.

A group of families from New York are on a road trip across the USA. The first stop on the road is Hocking Hills in Ohio, and the families park their RVs at the camp site. The younger children run to play in the playground as their older siblings and parents set up the camp, with Inuyasha, one of the fathers, moving a table with his daughter Moroha as his wife Kagome get the food ready.

At their camp site, Charlotte Hyrule hold her phone up as she try to get a signal and she ask her mother Zelda while her father Link is put the heavy stuff up, "Mom, where can I get a signal for my phone?" and Zelda tell her older daughter, "Charlotte, the whole point of this trip is to not be on your phone." and Charlotte is spechless.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's young sister Sonia check out the camp with sisters Towa and Setsuna. The camp look nice and it has a swimming pool, but some parts of it look a little old.

At the Mirsan family camp site, the twin girls Kin'u and Gyokuto laugh about the green hair boy Kitaro Moroboshi as he try to start a fire for his little sister Nyoko and her best friend Nasha Dragneel. At the table, their younger brother Hisui is playing a card game with Michael Shan, Ash Dorne, Petra Spar, Kevin Piece, Max Revel, Samson Cadera, and Tao Yaza.

At his family RV, Gramakk the orc read a guide on Hocking Hills as his wife Zanawe put their son Kokdutu to bed.

The next day, the families get ready for a day in Hocking Hills, with Juliasa making sure that her teenage daughter is okay and to not act like her father Crual.

On the park, the families travel around the sites and the girls take selfie of themselves in nature.

Back at the campsite, the adults make plans on where to go next and Inuyasha said to them, "Why don't we travel on Route 66?" and the adults look at each other about the idea.

Soon, by the morning light, the RVs travel on the famous Route 66, starting at Chicago, Illinois. The families first explore the famous sites at Chicago for three days before they hit the road again. While traveling in Illinois, they see the Gemini, the town of Springfield, and Dixie Travel Plaza.

The RVs arrived at Missouri, and they see the World's second largest rocking chair in Fannig, Red's Giant Hamburg, 66 Drive-In, and Ted Drewes on their journey.

The RVs arrived at Kansas, where the families visit Baxter Spring Independent Oil and Gas Service station, drive through Rainbow Bridge, and visit Williams' Store as well Kan-O-Tex Service Station.

The RVs arrived at Oklahoma, where the families visit Blue Whale of Catoosa, Pops restaurant, Round barn, Milk Bottle Grocery, Rock Cafe, and Foyil Filling Station.

The RVs arrived at Texas, where the families visit the Leaning Tower of Britten, Cadiliac ranch, The Big Texan Steak Ranch, and U-Drop Inn.

The RVs arrived at New Mexico, where the families visit Blue Swallow Motel, El Rancho Hotel & Motel, and Maisel's Indian Trading Post.

The RVs arrived at Arizona, where the families visit Wigwam Motel, Standin' on the Corner Park, Jack Rabbit Trading Post, and Meteor City.

The RVs arrived at California, the last stop of Route 66. In California, the families visit Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch, Cucamonga Service Station, Aztec Hotel, and Los Angeles.

In the Los Angeles hotel, the adults start their plans for the road trip back home and the locations to visit.

[lesbiancolumbo]

we drove into chicago yesterday to see a movie on 70mm and afterwards we were planning to go to this restaurant i've been dying to go to, like it just looks so good, and then we get there and it's a two hour wait for bar seating and we were like hmm! okay well. now what. anyway turns out there's a place right down the street that serves both indian and soul food and we both got combos from each for under $20 and the moral of this story is equally "make a reservation dumbass!" AND "just walk around the block and see what's there, you will be surprised"

New Year's Meme 2023

This is a survey reflecting on the year that I've been diligently filling out since Livejournal days. Anyone is welcome to take it for themselves.

1. What did you do in 2023 that you’d never done before?

I visited Italy! I went on a trip with my in-laws where we stayed in a rented house in Tuscany for a bit and then my husband and I spent a few days on our own in Venice.

I rode a water taxi in Venice.

I'm not 100% sure but I think I had actual tiramisu (as opposed to tiramisu-flavored things) for the first time this year?

I got into very seriously and deliberately writing a romance novel.

I went rollerblading at Red Arrow Park in Milwaukee which only opened to roller skates for the first time this summer.

I saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway (just before it closed.)

After making several recipes out of a Milk Bar cookbook, while we were in New York we got to actually get dessert at Milk Bar

I got this little display called a Tidbyt and I wrote an app for it that identifies airplanes that go past my apartment. (I also visited the observation lot at the airport for the first time because I'm a nerd.)

I went down to Chicago and visited a museum there by myself.

I got a Polaroid camera and took some photos with it.

I got food (biryani) from an Indian restaurant.

I went to beloved Milwaukee bar Bryant's and had a cocktail that was set on fire.

2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions and will you make more for next year?

In 2023, I wanted to be more regular in going to the pottery studio where I have a membership, and I did work on that for a while but then I started to slow down again. I don't seem to do well with hobbies where I have to drive somewhere to go do them. I'm hoping to do more pottery stuff at home next year.

I also wanted to throw away less food and use up leftover ingredients in better ways. Still working on this, but my husband and I have a list on our fridge now of stuff we have sitting around that we know needs to be used soon.

I also wanted to ride the bus a little more. I did a pretty good job of this, I think! I bussed to the beach, to a favorite bookshop, to the State Fair, and to the train station.

In 2024, here's what I'm going for:

I want to get this novel I'm writing to the point where I can get some people to beta read it.

I used to keep a budget but since I got married and my husband and I got a joint account, we haven't really figured out a good way to keep a budget together. I'd like to start budgeting again.

I want to read every book the bi book club I'm in has on its schedule for 2024. I also want to reread more books I already own.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? I went to a baby shower for one of my husband's cousins. I'm happy for them and their baby boy! 4. Did anyone close to you die? We lost one of my husband's best and oldest friends to suicide earlier this year. It's been rough, to be honest.

5. What countries did you visit? I went to Italy! Trying to learn some Italian from scratch stressed me out but I especially loved eating way too much gelato and walking around Venice. 6. What would you like to have in 2024 that you lacked in 2023? Last year I said I wanted closer relationships to people who live nearby, to invite people over more. We tried to do a bit of this. We had guests over for dinner a few times, including my husband's cousin who literally lives in our apartment building so it's a little embarrassing that we haven't seen him. Also, things have been ramping back up with the bisexual community group I'm a part of.

I would like to have less stress in 2024 though, you know, wouldn't we all? 7. What date from 2023 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? In trying to think of dates off the top of my head and my brain says, hmm, April 7th, the day I saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. I mean, that was a good and important day in my life. 8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Maybe writing multiple drafts of a novel. I've gotten past first drafts before but it's been years since I've been writing this much and this regularly and I've been enjoying it. 9. What was your biggest failure? After feeling like I was managing my anxiety really well in recent years I think this year it became more of a struggle for me again. 10. Did you suffer illness or injury? I'm very lucky to generally be a healthy person but this year I dealt with some things... In the spring my chronic hives did finally stop. But then I got Covid. Then I got a painful cyst on my ovary. Then I got the stomach flu.

11. What was the best thing you bought? Probably the Tidbyt. It's a cute little super low res screen that sits in my living room and tells me things like the sunrise/sunset times, the weather forecast, the nearest airplane, and the flavor of the day at Kopp's Frozen Custard. Even though it's a tech thing it's helping me appreciate the little things and I like that about it. 12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Sufjan Stevens definitely seemed to have a shitty year but it was nice to see him making progress in recovering from his illness and, you know, I'd like to celebrate the great album he put out.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? I already complained about Elon Musk in last year's survey but seeing Twitter fall apart has been depressing this year. 14. Where did most of your money go? Besides rent, probably to the Italy trip. 15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Airplanes! I got really into reading about commercial aviation this year and paying attention to the planes that pass by my apartment. 16. What song(s) will always remind you of 2023? We got a new Sufjan album, Javelin, in October and I listened to it a ton at that time.

17. Compared to this time last year, are you: i. Happier or sadder? Sadder. ii. Older or wiser? Older. iii. Thinner or fatter? The same. iv. Richer or poorer? Richer. 18. What do you wish you’d done more of? I felt like I really didn't pay much attention to the news and world events this year. It seemed like everyone around me was outraged about one thing or another and I've just been tired and uninformed. I'm not proud of that. 19. What do you wish you’d done less of? Staying up late even when I knew I wouldn't get enough sleep. 20. How will you be spending Christmas? I spent Christmas Eve with my family and then Christmas Day with my husband's family out in Madison.

21. How will you be spending New Year’s Eve? We have late dinner reservations and plan to hang around the restaurant bar until midnight.

22. Did you fall in love in 2023? I celebrated my first anniversary with my husband (went went to a nice new restaurant in the city called Lupi & Iris.) 23. How many one-night stands? None.

24. What was your favorite TV program? I loved the new seasons of What We Do In the Shadows and The Bear.

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? I like to read snark pages about fundamentalist Christian influencers and I've loved to hate Girl Defined and watching them just kind of spiral out of control this year. 26. What was the best book you read? I read a lot this year (I finished 18 books!) and I started a Goodreads account if anyone wants to be my reading buddy. Probably the best book I read this year in terms of quality was Educated by Tara Westover which is well-known and highly rated for good reason.

In terms of books that are not impressive in a literary way but made me feel totally rabid in a fandom way, I recently finished With Love, From Cold World and bought a copy just so I can reread it some time next year. 27. What was your greatest musical discovery? I discovered Jose Gonzalez this year and he was really scratching an itch for me while waiting for a new Sufjan album. His song "Heartbeats" was on my Spotify Wrapped top songs.

28. What did you want and get? I wanted an inflatable Lapras so bad and in previous years they kept selling out before I could buy one but this summer I got one! I got the Lapras!!! I rode it out on the lake!

29. What did you want and not get? There were three different times that people were supposed to come visit us this year and it didn't happen. My husband's friend was supposed to stay with us and he passed before that happened. One of my husband's cousins was supposed to visit and then we got Covid and had to cancel. Then another one of my husband's cousins was supposed to visit and my husband had to go out of state for a relative's funeral and we canceled that, too. These are the sorts of things that added up to the year feeling like there were hard times around every corner, even though we had a lot to be grateful for. 30. What was your favorite film of this year? I saw a surprising amount of movies in theaters this year! I think Barbie was the most memorable (also, the theater I saw it in, The Downer Theatre, has since shut down so I will also remember it for that.)

31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I turned 33. My husband and I got lunch at an Italian restaurant and then saw the matinee of Skylight Music Theater's production of School of Rock, which I did enjoy even though mostly it just made the both of us want to rewatch the movie.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Maybe not getting Covid. 33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2023? I'm loving flannel shirts and sweater dresses this fall/winter. In the summer I was wearing a lot of dresses, too. I've gotten into tucking shirts into shorts or jeans. 34. What kept you sane? All the reading and writing I've been doing has helped me feel productive and grounded. 35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Maybe Ayo Edebiri on The Bear. 36. What political issue stirred you the most? Climate change felt relentless and inevitable this year, especially with the wildfire smoke we dealt with over the summer and the mild winter so far. 37. Who did you miss? I don't go on Twitter anymore and that's generally good for me, but there were some interesting people I followed on there where I'm like huh, wonder what they're up to now (but not enough to go back on Twitter and find out.) 38. Who was the best new person you met? My team at work went through a lot of changes this year and I always get nervous about new people getting hired (like, what if they're assholes?) Fortunately everyone who joined our team has been really nice and I'm grateful. 39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2023: This year I found a lot of freedom in taking a Marie Kondo-esque approach to my physical surroundings and just throwing shit out if I don't use it and it doesn't have active sentimental value to me. At the same time, this year I stopped being so hard on myself for buying things like coffee shop drinks all the time. So I guess generally the lesson is about recalibrating my idea of what is valuable to me to reflect what I actually enjoy day-to-day more than what I think I'm "supposed to" keep around or spend money on.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

He said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains As he quoted Black Kettle's death song The words drifting off into the emptiness Of this great land where we’ve never belonged

Death Cab For Cutie - "Foxglove Through the Clearcut"

FELLOW WESTERNERS!!!

Stop saying “I don’t like Chinese/Indian/Thai… food of some other Southeast Asian country”. It makes you sound super rude and ignorant, especially because it’s pretty obvious you’ve not tried all that much of it.

Imagine if someone told you they hated pizza because they tried it once in Chicago and didn’t like it? Or someone saying they hated the entire cuisine of your home country because they tried a couple things in a couple restaurants in their country. (This is probably mostly directed at USAmericans, but idk how Europeans are with trying other cuisines not from the west).

It’s hurtful and ignorant and unnecessary and it makes you sound super dumb. Each country has literally thousands of dishes and a bunch of regional cuisines with many variations on THOSE dishes, and there’s no way you’ve tried enough of them to write off an entire cuisine.

Just say “I haven’t had much of (country’s food), only a couple things at some restaurants in (home country) that I didn’t particularly like, but I’d love to taste more stuff! Can you recommend me some dishes to try? I like (flavors/ingredients) and I dislike (flavors/ingredients).”

You can have a respectful conversation about food preferences without writing off someone’s entire cuisine.

[knuckle]

one of my coworkers is from chicago and complains constantly about the food in pittsburgh and i am like the chinese restaurants are divine, there's awesome thai food, indian food, vietnamese, and there's a cafe with the most delicious (unfortunately expensive) latte i've ever tasted period, there are tons of delicious bakeries like what are they feeding you in chicago

[dickensianstreeturchin]

Didn’t you hear, there can’t possibly be anything good in the American Midwest, no one could ever enjoy living there at all when it’s just some backwater with no culture at all, the snobbish disregard for a place that he loves definitely couldn’t have made Ted feel alienated from London and Londoners! Definitely nothing terrible about London, it’s not like Sam got hate crimes a mere few episodes before the finale!Also, as a Desi person, I have had better Indian food in the American Midwest than I have in London, and if Trent Crimm is such an idiot as to think “I can’t imagine there’s good Indian food” there, he can’t possibly have been a good journalist.

I'm hoping that you sent this as commiseration, and not that something I said made it seem like I thought there's nothing redeemable about the American Midwest! I'm going to assume the former hehe ^_^

Being a southerner, and having a partner from the Midwest, I am very familiar with casual derogatory comments toward the middle of the U.S. and the southern part as completely useless places (and worse things) and it never stops being utterly frustrating! And heartbreaking, honestly. I'm not even sure how it begins to translate overseas to Britain, where I'm sure people might be even more unaware of the diversity of these areas of the U.S.

And I 100% believe what you said about Indian restaurants in the Midwest. I haven't spent too much time in that area of the country, so I haven't tried Indian food there, but as for the south, Memphis has some great Indian food, especially around the suburb of Collierville, where there is a significant Indian population! There's an indiafest they hold in that area yearly, and the food is just phenomenal. That's only one example, and yet I hear people talk about the south like it's a monolith of whiteness, like sorry the gerrymandered maps managed to make u forget about all the poc 🙄

To bring it back to Ted, I 100% think that him missing home was a big part of him deciding to go back. He went to that American restaurant, and despite the absolute silliness of the atmosphere there, it was like suddenly being back home (if he squinted and ignored that the waiter didn't know that Chicago = Windy City). When I visited China, my friend and I found an American burger restaurant. I don't even like burgers but sitting in there and eating a burger, seeing Tabasco sauce from my home state of Louisiana, it was enough to get me a bit homesick. and I knew I was going home in a couple of weeks! Imagine Ted, who at that point hadn't decided to go home, missing it so keenly in that moment.

I know people wanted Ted to stay in London. High-key i wanted Ted to stay in London. I wish Henry had moved to London and Ted had stayed with all the friends he had made. But I do see people taking out their anger/sadness about him going home by dumping on the Midwest saying oh gross the midwest why would he ever want to live there? Like the real-life Midwest has no redeemable qualities. And that kind of mindset is not only ignorant and rude, it also does absolutely no one any good at all.

General advice for city trip to Chennai – Sights of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India 

Chennai, which is the capital of Tamil Nadu province is located along the southern coast of India on the Bay of Bengal. There is a fairly long sandy coastline and an opportunity to walk along the promenade taking in fresh, sea air. 

Earlier known as Madras, Chennai was one amongst the cities severely devastated by the 2005 tsunami. The city as recorded in the 2001 census had over 7 million people in its population density. 

Highlights of Chennai 

Exploring Local Chennai 

Chennai is homely, noisy, and tiring – though this may prove too strong a word in the midst of the accompanying hustle and bustle. Looking for nice eating places or leisure can sometimes be a problem, local life however is hectic yet interesting. Go outside the shops and roads where there are horns, sounds and music from the shops and different roads. 

Colorful Shopping Streets 

Small shops are located almost on each street, and one can find almost everything one could wish for. The do-it-yourself shops themselves are as small as the greengrocers but they have almost everything available. The physiognomy of the city is very particular where the houses are constructed one on top of the other. 

Foreshore Estate Promenade 

The Foreshore Estate Promenade is the beach where the horrible disaster of the tsunami struck years ago. Several zones are still vacant since the buildings that were affected by the tragedy were never reconstructed. The fish market here is not touristic but is a major experience that involves women who sell fresh fish of the day. 

Kamarajar Promenade 

This one is slightly more advanced with parks, memorial, and buildings. This is a road that runs for quite a distance and ideal for either a walk, jog or even riding in a car. There are statues of Mahatma Gandhi also there is a memorial in memory of the former chief minister of Tamil Naidu M. G. Ramachandran. 

Religious Highlights of Chennai 

Vivekananda House 

The young Swami Vivekananda visited Chennai in 1893 and was Meditating to live in this spiritually sacred city along with his disciples. He went to Chicago to partake in the Parliament of Religions and came back to India in 1897.

Ramakrishna Universal Temple 

This is the worship, and education temple that has been constructed through the followers and disciples of Vivekananda. This is one of the significant centres of daily rituals ( pujas) and food donation. 

Santhome Cathedral Basilica 

This stunning white building that can be classified as a basilica is situated near the fish market downtown. Large fans are used during services to create a cool draught. 

St. Andrew’s Church 

This neoclassical church that was constructed in 1821 is among the most exquisite churches found in India. Architecture-wise, it is easily a place that one must pay a visit to. 

Hindu Temples 

In the Tambaram area where the college is situated there are many temples and chennai itself is known as the temple city of India. Some of the famous temple includes Arulmigu Sri Parthasarathyswamy Temple and the Kapaleeshwarar Temple. If you get a local rickshaw driver to take you to these temples, you will probably be pointed to even more gorgeous structures. 

Food in Chennai 

Local Cuisine 

Idli which is a rice cake that has to be eaten with different sauces and spices is a delicacy worth taking. It is high on the menu list preferred by the people in the region as a breakfast meal.

Where to Eat

KWAMI: Nice, sounds like a plan.

CO-WORKER: Yeah, but I'm kind of struggling to choose a restaurant. Do you have any suggestions?

KWAMI: Well, it depends on what she likes.

CO-WORKER: She loves Indian food.

CO-WORKER: Yeah, it has. I really need a friend right now.

KWAMI: What's going on?

CO-WORKER: I haven't heard from her. You know, the girl I went on a date with.

KWAMI: Oh, breakup?

The most dangerous animal in the jungle: the female human. One minute she takes you to the heights of ecstasy, and the next, she can shatter your soul with a single glance.

CO-WORKER: I'll be okay. She's the first girl in ages that I've… you know, really liked.

CO-WORKER: I've started writing poems again. I find it helpful. Do you want to hear one?

CO-WORKER: "I thought I was your man, the yin to your yang. But now I sit in the dark and say damn."

KWAMI: I got it.

Yo.

KWAMI: How's work? // // Father Joseph: Your grandfather saved all of his life… to bring the family to this country. He got a good job in the stockyards, had a nice little house in South Chicago. I was about 12. Somebody sold him on the idea he ought to move to the country and become a dairy farmer. Well… he buys some land, you know, and gets a couple hundred cows. Within five months, every one of those cows was dead with disease. It was the Depression. Couldn't sell the land. There was no work. So one day… he took off. Didn't come back. My brothers and me, we split up… to live with friends and relatives. Chasing a stupid dream causes nothing but you and everyone around you heartache. Notre Dame is for rich kids, smart kids, great athletes. It's not for us. You're a Ruettiger. There's nothing wrong with that. You can have a damn nice life. Frank is gonna take over plant number two. In a couple of years, he'll make more than me and Johnny. He's in charge of the expansion program.

American Food: A Tapestry of Taste and Tradition

American Food: A Tapestry of Taste and Tradition

American food culture is a vibrant mosaic woven from the threads of history, immigration, and regional diversity. From the hearty comfort foods of the Midwest to the spicy flavors of the Southwest, the culinary landscape of the United States reflects the rich tapestry of its people and their collective experiences. In this exploration of American cuisine, we delve into the flavors, traditions, and innovations that have shaped the nation's culinary identity.

Colonial Roots: Forging a New Culinary Identity

The story of American cuisine begins with the arrival of European settlers in the New World. Faced with unfamiliar ingredients and cooking methods, these early colonists adapted traditional recipes to suit their new surroundings, creating a uniquely American culinary heritage. Corn, beans, and squash – staples of the indigenous diet – were incorporated into dishes like succotash and cornbread, while native game such as turkey and venison became prized ingredients in colonial kitchens. Meanwhile, trade with Europe brought new flavors and ingredients to the table, laying the foundation for the diverse culinary landscape that would emerge in the centuries to come.

Immigrant Influence: A Global Melting Pot

Throughout its history, the United States has been shaped by waves of immigration from around the world, each bringing with it a rich culinary heritage and a treasure trove of flavors. From Italian pasta and Chinese stir-fries to Mexican tacos and Indian curries, immigrant communities have left an indelible mark on American cuisine, enriching it with new ingredients, techniques, and traditions. In cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, these diverse culinary influences converge, creating a melting pot of flavors that reflects the multicultural tapestry of American society.

Regional Diversity: From Sea to Shining Sea

The vast expanse of the United States is home to a diverse array of regional cuisines, each with its own distinctive flavors, ingredients, and traditions. In the South, soulful dishes like barbecue, fried chicken, and collard greens reign supreme, while in the Northeast, seafood takes center stage with dishes like clam chowder, lobster rolls, and steamed clams. In the Midwest, hearty fare like meatloaf, casseroles, and hot dishes warm the soul, while in the West, fresh produce and vibrant flavors are celebrated in dishes like avocado toast, fish tacos, and California rolls. Whether it's a classic dish passed down through generations or a modern interpretation inspired by global flavors, American cuisine is as diverse and dynamic as the landscapes that inspire it.

Modern Trends: From Farm to Table

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in local, sustainable, and artisanal foods, driven by a desire for healthier, more environmentally friendly alternatives to mass-produced, processed foods. Farmers' markets, farm-to-table restaurants, and community-supported agriculture programs have become increasingly popular, connecting consumers with fresh, locally grown produce and supporting small-scale farmers and producers. Similarly, there has been a growing interest in plant-based diets, with more Americans than ever before embracing vegetarian, vegan, and flexitarian lifestyles.

Conclusion: Celebrating the Journey of American Cuisine

In conclusion, American food culture is a celebration of diversity, innovation, and tradition. From its colonial roots to its modern-day incarnation as a global culinary powerhouse, American cuisine reflects the rich tapestry of its people and their collective experiences. Whether it's a classic comfort food dish passed down through generations or a modern interpretation inspired by global flavors, American food has the power to bring people together, spark conversations, and create lasting memories. So let us raise our glasses and toast to the ever-evolving journey of American cuisine – a delicious adventure that knows no bounds.
