Revue Starlight Sports Festival Draft!

As you know, the big Stage Girl Sports Festival Revival will take place in February - literally just a full day event of the various cast members of Revue Starlight (from anime, game, and stage plays) will participate in a funky pretend-highschool sports festival. Today the full teams were decided via draft stream!

The team leaders had previously been announced:

Koyama Momoyo (Aijo Karen, Seisho) - Yellow Team "ZERO" Tomita Maho (Tendo Maya, Seisho) - Blue Team "This is..." Nomoto Hotaru (Yukishiro Akira, Siegfeld) - Red Team "HOT" Nanaki Kanon (Yanagi Koharu, Seiran) - Green Team "shuThuarunomi" (集中あるのみ; "sTay focused")

Also quite funny to me that 3 of the team leaders (all but Maho) are former Sera Myu performers... the Sailor Moon squad has taken over

As is tradition at this point, ensemble member Jinko Moe is the MC for this stream and explains the rules. In the first two rounds, all leaders are free to pick 1 stage girl of their chosing per round from the roster as their top picks. If any chose the same person, they will have to decide by draft - the loser can then choose freely again. After round 2, all other rounds are chosen by draft completely by luck. We already knew not all cast members are going to be there so not every stage girl is available for chosing. Suzuko Mimori (Hikari), Emiri Kato (Tsukasa) and Shiina Hekiru (Souda-sensei) are going to be the MCs at the event, so they won't be participating as athletes either. Also, Tsukui Minami (Suzu) and Kobayashi Yuka (Yakumo-sensei) are a "2 for 1" deal, as they won't be able to make the whole event (iirc).

Team Zero's name is the most easily explained. Moyo gets a lot of praise from her colleagues and chat for her genius team logo design. The E is a crown with tomato jewels... I'm in awe

Maho explains the pronunciation of her team: The "..." is performed dramatically with the eyes, like the above. Lol

Nossan's design of course features Hot-kun, Akira's favourite food & beloved plushie. The Hot-kun icon is actually the inside of a chili, not a sun. Apparently.

Kanon struggled quite a bit with finding a team name, and after consulting with the other leaders in their Line chat group, she wanted a good Koharu line as the team name. Koharu's "うるさい." ("Shut up.") came to mind, but she thought that was too rude for a team name, so shuchuarunomi it became. She placed a big T (position zero!) for the "ch" sound. Complicated, but clever.

Time for drawing the teams! In round 1, everyone is asked to present their top picks for their team.

Moyo's is: MATSUZAWA! Aka Matsuzawa Kanon, who plays Shiro from Siegfeld Middle School!

Maho's is the one and only Sato Hinata - student council president of Seisho herself, Hoshimi Junna.

Nossan's top pick is: Ikuta Teru of Futaba fame!! And funnily enough...

Kanon's pick is also Teru!!! She even drew a tiny Ponzu (Teru's dog) to sway the public. The crowd goes wild. They have to let fate decide who wins over Teru for their team, and Nossan comes out on top. So Kanon gets to choose again, and her next free pick is Haruchan! Aka her fellow Photon Maiden bestie, Iwata Haruki of Mahiru fame.

Time for round 2, and last round of free picks! Again, Moyo goes first.

Moyo's second pick is Saeki Iori, who plays Rinmeikan's Yuyuko!

Maho's second pick is Sasaki Mikoi aka Mikoron, Shizuha of Frontier!

Nossan's next pick is Koizumi Moeka aka Moepii, who plays the one and only Banana! Complaints from the other leaders are heard for her making her team too strong. Lol. We'll see about that.

Kanon's pick is Kuge Kokoro of the Siegfeld Middle Schoolers, who plays Minku! No overlaps this time, so everyone gets their first pick!

The next picks are all made by random draft, so it's really just up to luck. Kanon is praying to get at least one other Seiran member for her heart. Everyone is praying not to get Aiai (lmao). Kanon manages to draw Tsumutsumu, another Photon Maiden member, making it a 3/4 for her team (with the fourth PM member, Hinata, sitting in Maho's team). For Nossan, she manages to draw two people very close to her - Ozaki Yuka (Michiru) and Kadoyama Yoko (Hisame), two of Akira's girlfriends. Moyo gets both of the Yumeoji siblings. Maho gets to draw her bestie's wife, KDHR. Kanon's wish is fulfilled by drawing the 2for1 duo of Minami&Kobayashi, her fellow Seirans. The crowd goes wild when Nossan draws Aiai, her team being declared the noisiest for sure (they're not wrong, this will be utter chaos).

Final distribution:

Yellow Team "Zero": Koyama Momoyo (leader; Karen), Matsuzawa Kanon (Shiro), Saeki Iori (Yuyuko), Tono Hikaru (Shiori), Fukagawa Ruka (Ryoko), Kurachi Reo (Fumi)

Blue Team "This is...": Tomita Maho (leader; Maya), Sato Hinata (Junna), Sasaki Mikoi (Shizuha), Ito Ayasa (Kaoruko), Kudo Haruka (Yachiyo), Takeuchi Yume (Mei Fan)

Red Team "HOT": Nomoto Hotaru (leader; Akira), Ikuta Teru (Futaba), Koizumi Moeka (Nana), Ozaki Yuka (Michiru), Kadoyama Yoko (Hisame), Aiba Aina (Claudine)

Green Team "shuThuarunomi": Nanaki Kanon (leader; Koharu), Iwata Haruki (Mahiru), Kuge Kokoro (Minku), Tsumugi Risa (Rui), Sato Yuria (Kuina), Tsukui Minami (Suzu) & Kobayashi Yuka (Yakumo-sensei)

[whenyourunlabeledbutlabeled]

Self insert

Don't read this it's just me being a hoe for shuichi

Or do idc that much

WE DO GOT SPOILERS THOUGH!!

M!ghost x Shuichi

It was the first trial that something seems slightly off, two extra stands. Something even more unnerving was the fact that there was a portrait on it, identity unknown.

Shuichi was lucky enough to be seated right next to the portrait, deciding to look at it a little more, he found there was a smug smile on it, along with it having a cracked and seeming painted on bleeding effect. A second and third one too, Rantaro Amami and two unknown people, One seemingly waving slightly, cracked and bleeding still, another with a line across their neck and a fan symbol, and Amami, with a X across his face.

The second incident occured when Shuichi found a note asking him to meet them in the library next to a bookshelf, a map attached to it.

"Don't make the same mistake I did."

He whipped his head around, that voice.. strange. He must be hearing things. Deciding to go to the bathroom to splash water on his face, he did so and when he looked up, there was another face behind him in the mirror.

"W-What the-?!" He turned around then back to the mirror.

"Oh finally! I've been waiting for you to notice me!"

"Who.. Who are you..?"

"I'm that portrait you saw. Cracked. Bleeding. My execution hurt.."

"Y-Your what-?!"

"Shut up dude shut up! People are gonna think your crazy!"

He chose to look at them some more.

Bright neon red hair, wild eyes and black mascara, Wearing jeans and a hoodie.

"Are you done-?"

"Ah yes, sorry."

"Nah your fine emo boy." He snickered.

"Your so much like Kokichi.."

" Oh him? I tried to get him to look in the mirror, did not work.."

"Why did you tell me not to go?"

"Obviously I'm not gonna let my connection to the living die!"

"Wha.. Wait hold on! Your dead-?!"

"Bingo! Well probably. Also I follow you around, so good luck trying to get that Angie girl to be your freind."

Third incident.

"Oh dear! Atua senses a disturbing force! I must calm him! Bye-onara!"

*Huh.. that.. mirror thing was right.. Apparently Angie hates me now.. Great..*

°I am not a thing asshat! I am Aoi Kagehara!°

*So that's your name.. Let's go before people get suspicious..*

The fourth incident was when a "reward" was being loaded out.

"Alrighty kids, let's see what happened on September 9th 2022 at another killing game!" Monokuma stated, before turning a video on.

The video shows a boy about to be executed or something similar, kicking his legs while sitting on a table, before looking up and smiling before being crushed, or something it seems.

It cuts to a video recording.

"Hiya! Its me again, Aoi Kagehara! Ultimate Theorist and Strategist! You can't get rid of me! I just got crushed after all! Now I'll let you in on a secret, I'm even better in person behind the scenes, I control everything aside from somebodys actions. I am The Ultimate Mastermind. Aoi Kagehara."

It cuts again to another recording.

"Oh my god, Aishi-san, you'll be okay! Just stick with the plan! You not the Ultimate Serial Killer for nothing!"

"This is extremely risky. I would prefer it if-"

A knife is drawn, the sharp sound ringing through thw air.

"Who has your family Ayano. Who controls everything? Me."

"Kagehara-kun, you wouldn't."

"I would, just stick to exactly what I said to do."

"Well give me another run-over so I can do it exactly."

"You'll dress up as Momikano-kun and go into the gym, from there you'll take that big weight thing like 50 pounds, and drop it before running away with it to the rooftop. You'll then hide it behind the air vents and run. Make sure to blame it on him. You'll then put the note in Ponzu Komeda's locker, telling him to meet you in the Plaza. You'll drop the weight on him and crush him. Make up an alibi or something."

"..As you wish."

It then cuts to the execution again, this time showing him reaching up to the sky before getting disnembered and crushed.

It ends with a close up to his face, That iconic smug smile before he opens his eyes and his face briefly goes white, his eyes widen and tear up before he almost immediately dies.

To be continued because I am tired asf and I'm bored also asf

5 Dishes to Try When at a Japanese Restaurant

What are the good Japanese food items that you should consume to get the taste of Japan? For your convenience, we have listed the five most iconic Japanese dishes. Keep reading to find out!

Tempura

Tempura (pronounced as tem-poo-ruh) is a seafood snack made with vegetables, which are further deep-fried after being battered. The seasoning is a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and ginger. Tempura is usually served with a special sauce named Tetsuyu sauce, a mixture of consommé, soy sauce, radish, sweet sake, and spices. Tempura has mainly originated from Portugal, which was later brought to Japan by Japanese merchants.

Shabu-Shabu

Shabu-shabu (pronounced as shaa-boo shaa-boo) is mainly meat preparation served with vegetables. The practice starts with stew (beef, chicken, pork, and shrimp) and vegetables (such as garlic, chives, moyashi, chard, watercress, etc.). These ingredients are cooked in broth with an authentic Japanese sauce known as ‘ponzu’. The dish is served without broth. The broth is strained, and the meat and vegetables are served together with a special sauce- ponzu.

Okonomiyaki

Okonomiyaki (pronounced as oko-no-mee-ya-kee) is a unique Japanese pancake, usually made with yam, all-purpose flour, and eggs. The literal meaning of Okonomiyaki is ‘grill as you like.’ Thus, as the name suggests, while making the pancake, you can add any ingredient as per your choice.

Sashimi

Sashimi (pronounced as suh-shee-mee) is an iconic dish that has originated in Japan. The dish consists of a raw fish served with soy sauce and a spicy condiment known as ‘wasabi.’ The fish is usually served with radish slices on its side.  

Sushi 

Sushi (pronounced as soo-shee) is the most famous dish in Japan. It is mainly made up of rice seasoned with a unique vinegar mix. It can be mixed with various ingredients, such as fish, multiple types of vegetables, and even edible seaweed! Now, depending on the main ingredients, the name of the sushi might differ. Make sure you try authentic Japanese sushi. 

To Conclude

Be it the organization, education, or food, Japan excels at everything. Make sure you try these foods upon your next visit to Ichiran – a popular Japanese Restaurant in NYC. To visit more restaurants in the USA, you can google search: ‘good Japanese food near me’ and ‘noodle soup restaurant near me.’

what you think of leorio character many people said he annoying but in the manga he was show to be great ally who was strong, reliable and caring individual compare to the remake they made his character less likeable

thebae!!

Jfc Ilove him. I love him a lot, he’s such a great character. But ye, 2011 did himdirty. I personally loved him when i watched the 2011 anime, but when I readthe manga I realized how much the anime seriously shitted on him. He’s evenmore likeable in the Manga and he deserved far better.

Igenerally need more precise question to start rambling, but i’ll try from thispoint. But this will be a little more confusing that general (and i got tired toward the end so i stopped) but here.

  And i’ll put it under cut because it’s Leorio and i’ll ramble.

Thething is that, Leorio has a position in the manga that is mostly the one of thecaretaker - a trope that is much more often attributed to women in Shounen.He’s the doctor guy, he’s the one who doesn’t show off his powers all thatmuch, who’s a little late in comparison to the others, who usually have a brutestrength with his medical knowledge. But he’s also often therefore the one toemotionally react to the plot and what happens around him.

And people hates thiskind of archetype. People call this kind of character useless when they areextremely important and inspirational. 

 Leoriois the everyman. Out of the four main characters, he’s the one the audience canrelate to. How many jokes are there out there of Leorio attempting a deadlyexam with just a knife just to pay his school bills? An icon.

Butlike…. That’s why it’s important? 

Thereforehe’s the one who’s actions are the most grounded in reality, in real life’shardship. The other main three stories are really specific to its genre, butLeorio’s? Anyone could have Leorio’s backstory. 

Whathe makes out of it is inspirational and gives a lot of heart to his actionstoward his friends. He is a support, he is helping. He’s doing everything hecan by his own means.

Andwhen he’s trying to catch up with the other ones who are ways too unreal? Hegives his everything, he faces the problem right in the eyes and refuse to runaway.

 Morethan being useless, the worst thing I think i’ve ever read about Leorio isthat “he’s a coward”. In which fucking universe?

Leoriois always ready to fight. He was ready to attack that old lady for askingsomething as absurd and careless as saying you would have to give up on yourdaughter or your son. He’s admirable because he fights for what is right, forwhat is supposed to be. If Gon won just because he didn’t know what to answer,and that Kurapika found the answer, Leorio won because he would refuse it toeven happen in a possible scenario. And even if it’s a grandma, we’re talkingabout an examinator of the Hunter Exam. It could have ruined Leorio’s life, butthere was no way he could let it fly. 

Whenthey met the Kiriko, he stayed behind to help one of them in the house, andreassured him. Where is that a coward to you? He acted like a doctor, he tookcare of him more quickly than anyone, and especially he showed care, and didn’tonce think his friends couldn’t handle it. He has an undying loyauty to thepeople he likes.

He fucking went back to fight Hisokaafter Hisoka murdered a lot of people. Because he couldn’t run while saidinjustice was happening right in front of his eyes. He could have died, but hedidn’t want to just run away for his own safety. Reckless? Yes. Coward?no.

Notto mention on Zevil’s Island, how he wanted to get against Ponzu alone, becausehe didn’t want to hurt anyone else, and he actually asked the other ones to leavehim if any problem came to happen. Because Leorio values others better thanhimself.

Meanwhilepeople forget that the only reason he went to York New was to see his friendsagain. Kurapika was there for the Troupe, Killua and Gon for the game, Leorio? Onlyfor them. And especially, he went unaware Killua and Gon were looking for a game,but aware that if they reunite, they will be running after Serial Killers. He knewthat. And he helped them as much as he could in that situation,t o the point ofhunting down the Troupe while actually Nenless, and fucking challenging themwhen he plays bait in order to save Gon and Killua. He also manages to calmdown Kurapika when Kurapika almost snaps at Chrollo.

Leorio’scourage and bravery had been the heart of his character. He has an undyingloyauty for his friends, and is fighting for what he thinks is right. How isthat a bad thing? How is that a coward?

 When it comes about himbeing “useful/useless” first, I completely hate this term in general.People aren’t things to use. Their worth isn’t found in whenever or not they make themselves useful. Their worth is in their actions and what they decide to do.

Leorioalways decided to do the right thing.

Themost important point of Leorio’s storyline is that, at his heart, it’s a storyof a past-trauma which recovery had been healthy. When you compare to the otherthree who all live very badly their current and past trauma, Leorio is the onewho got traumatized and got something good out of it. He forced himself in apath in which he could help other people again. He recovered as much as hecould, and he dedicated himself to others. He’s doing what is right, what isjust.

Ina story that has such heavy stories of Trauma, someone like him is important inthe group. He’s a representation of how things can get better, how things willget better. He encourages them in a good direction when he can. He’s a caringand wonderful character.

 Butfans, they don’t care about it. They want to see blood, they want to seesomeone be punched. It’s no surprise a lot of people saying they dislike Leoriosay the only thing they like him for is for punching Ging. It’s because thosepeople don’t value anything else than Leorio’s strength and ability to kickass. Which to me is fucked up because it’s not the most important part ofLeorio’s character.

It’sno wonder the most focus we had on Leorio is the Election arc – an arcultimately based on more profound actions to help on the long term.  Leorio’s spotlights is on his words, on howhe wants to help the people he loves, and how he feels like he doesn’t belongthere.

Leoriodidn’t get to first place just because it was funny he punched Ging. In a worldof secrecy and selfishness like the one of the hunters, Leorio distinguishedhimself by not only not caring about showing his powers, but by also beingextremely opened about what he wants. What he calls being selfish, which isjust to take as much care as possible for his friends. It’s because of thatthat the Hunter World ends up believing and cheering for him. Because he’s notjust brawn and no brain – he’s a man who’s driven by his heart, and will alwaysdo the right thing when he has to do it. Someone who will fight for it, even ifhe has to antagonize himself (or so he wishes), in order to help others.

 It’swhy everyone ended up cheering for him, that’s why having him in the Zodiac wasa clever political move from Cheadle. Because Leorio is actively being arepresentative of how much you can care about someone.

 Onlyjudging him on his strength and his powers is doing a major disservice to hischaracter who is much, much more than that.

 Somethingalso a few people seems to forget: at the end of the Heaven Arena Arc, Wingtells Killua and Gon that Leorio won’t be approached by a potential Nen teacheruntil he passed his med school exam, which he passed after the York New arcwhen he left. However, when Killua and Gon meet with Leorio again, Leorio tellsthem he mastered Ten. And he actually thinks he mastered all Nen, which makesme think no one actually told him about his training. Meaning he did that alone.

Inthe year between the York New Arc and the Election Arc, Leorio passed hisexams, and learned Nen, in a very complex way. Remember how in the Greed IslandArc, there was a guy who could also use an Emitter technique on his punch topunch someone?  Except that to do that,he had to be in a limited space that he would have determined with his Nen,otherwise he wouldn’t be able to actually project his punch.

Leoriocan do that whenever he wants. Wherever he wants. Ging explains that histechnique is actually really complex and based on the vibration of the groundand of human being. It takes a lot of science understanding to come to thatwithout setting conditions. Not to mention, his technique was originallysettled in order to find out tumors into people’s body and heal them withouthaving to open the body, therefore reducing the cost of an operation.

Howis that not Badass?? Leorio took a concept we saw in the show assomething limited, that couldn’t be done freely, and showed that he couldand he would and he would do that to punish mean people and save people.  How is that not amazing?

 Thebest in all of that, is that Leorio had always been strong. Stronger thanKurapika and Gon in fact. And there it comes into what the anime deleted andsadly people aren’t aware of. But Leorio is stronger than Gon and Kurapika – interm of strength, he can lift 4 tons, he’s muscular af. He could break the armof a mafia guy during the arm wrestling contests. Leorio is extremely strong,which is already incredible.

He’sjust in an universe where people use other way to be strong. A way he ended upcatching up on.

Andit’s not to mention that he’s extremely streetwise. The guy knows a lot aboutthe underground, about how to get what he wants. The guy is completely rulingthe auctions, and Killua even look up to him for that. Leorio is very good atgetting what he wants, and he always find clever ways to achieve it.

Theanime deleted all of that though. And that’s really pissing me off. Leorioactively works in order to help the kids to get the money to Greed Island – he’sthe one who establish them with a link to the mafia, he’s the one who iswatching over the auction, he’s the one who gets the information to find theTroupe. When Kurapika loses it, he’s the one to fix the situation, he’s the onewho plays bait with the Troupe, he’s the one who stop Kurapika from beingreckless, he’s the one who helps Kurapika feel better after he collapsed fordays. Remove Leorio from the York New arc and everything would have gone wrong.

 Itjust baffles me that people can’t accept just genuinely kind and caringcharacters if they don’t kickass the way they want them to do it. Not everycharacters need to be a war-machine. And honestly, in a story that put so muchefforts into showing that the violence in which Gon, Kurapika and Killua engagethemselves into, is actually extremely hurtful and has consequences, I don’tsee how one can be mad at Leorio for not being like that either?

 Leoriois an extremely interesting character. He holds a lot of himself inside, hefears sometimes of not being enough, but he tries. He always tries andhe always try to manage as much as possible.

Ijust don’t get what is there not to like? He can be harsh at first, but like.He’s still a teen? He evolved a lot in between the first hunter exam and theelection arc – he became more mature, more grounded. He’s achieving his goal,which is hella neat?

He’slikeable and fun. He learns a lot during the course of the manga.

 I’mgetting a little tired and I’m going to repeat myself if I keep going, but I exploredmore of my thoughts there, there, there and there.

 Iramble a lot about him in general and I just really love him and wish peoplewould see that you don’t have to actively kickass to be a good character.

…..expecially when you’re already as kickass as Leorio Paradinight.

 Take care nonny!

Miami, FL,  Jan 11-13, 2020

[Meet my new friend @Vizcaya Museum and Gardens]

Winter in Miami is probably a New Yorker’s dream, at least for me as I drown in layers of coats and sweaters and can still barely feel my own hands... Have to say, the weather here in Jan was the optimal combination of humidity and warmth. I was also pleasantly surprised by how metropolitan the downtown area is. Unlike other any tropical cities I’ve been to before, Miami has a strong big city vibe with all the vibrant bars, restaurants, stacks of tall buildings and 24-hour convenience stores (--those are important too okay?!).

A brief rundown of key locations from my way-too-short-not-ready-to-go-back weekend trip, hope these helps-- 

Saturday afternoon: arrived and checked into rental apartment in Brickell Icon (great location in downtown), amazed by the weather, got food at La Mar, and went out to a couple bars (Sugar, Blue Martini Brickell)

Sunday:  brunch at Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita, toured Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, ubered to Wynwood and absolutely loved the area, dessert at The Salty Donut, random dinner at Pollos y Jarras (not very good)

Monday: Perez Art Museum, airpot...

Food

In terms of food (by now you all know I love food/taking photos of them), you also have options, but can get a little tricky. While ceviches and cervezas seem like the obvious choices, for someone who not only can't eat dairy (mixed in most ceviches) but also not a big fun of beer, I had a hard time finding things to eat in some of the most popular restaurants... For example, when we went to CVI.CHE 105, one of the best+most reviewed place on Yelp,  99% of the dishes on the elaborate menu do not/couldn't be adjusted to accommodate my lactose intolerance. However, if you re into smoothies and cafes and açaí bowls, you’d be very happy here. There are also a great selection of Cuban and Peruvian food for apparent reasons (literally everyone here speaks Spanish, I felt a little left out tbh) and somehow an astonishing number of restaurants here are asian fusion. For recommendations, I would give you just one, for good view and services. Food itself was decent, but not mind blowing in any ways.

La Mar by Gaston Acurio in Mandarin Oriental 

South American food (supposedly)

[Grilled octopus was definitely one of the better dishes we tried!]

[Branizo in ponzu sauce, a little salty for me. Comes with rice ...?!]

[stir fried steak with rice, is this considered South American? Or am I just too Asian and everything tasted Asian...]

Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita

Normal brunch with extra hip name, limited coffee options (as in only black coffee...), but lots of cocktails!

The Salty Donut

The vegan donut (pictured below) was really not that good. Regular ones might be better, good reviews online at least...!

Bars

Miami is famous for its nightlife. Although because of time constraint and mostly my 11pm bedtime, we did not explore too much. I ended up going to 2 bars only (Sugar and Blue Martini, both in Brickell) and called it a day. Some clubs recommended to me by friends include E11EVEN MIAMI, Club Space, LIV, and Story (last two are in South Beach).

[Sugar: a rooftop bar with great views, but gets pretty crowded]

[Blue Martini: fun vibe, more clubby and had dancers. They serve cocktail with the shaker which was kinda nice. Wish I had a better photo but I don't...]

Museums

Loved Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

Great architecture, beautiful construction, intriguing details, made for photos. So there’re lots of photos...See for yourself:p

[ok Im a sucker for all these symmetries, just picked two for the blog]

[I swear my grandpa has something similar in his house]

Pérez Art Museum Miami

or the ‘PAMM’

Modern art, pretty decent selection with a slight focus on South American art. There was a short film about Brazilian pop stars that was really impressive, but not sure if its permanent/also can't remember the name...Outside of the museum was beautiful though. 

[lol my face...]

Wynwood, Wynwood Walls

Really hip area with lots to do. Cafes, shops, street markets, and GRAFFITIS  To me feels like Bushwich and Soho had a child with less people and more space. Definitely a great area for the younger crowd.

Wynwood Walls is a very well organized part of Wynwood filled with graffiti, reminding me of part Berlin Wall that was turned into a street art gallery (east side gallery? something along those lines). Although in my mind the essence of street art is that it is spontaneous and free and should not be caged in one place. At least I always appreciated some nice unexpected artful vandalism on some random streets.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok now hope you find this somewhat interesting. Enough babbling! 

Until Next Time,

xxx, Cindy

Weeknight Ponzu Pasta

This one is for semi-lazy nights when you still want to get something vibrant and seasonal on the table. All things green in a quick, weeknight pasta option. It's feel-good food that won't weigh you down. The ponzu dressing comes together in a flash, boosted with a good dose of garlic and a thread of toasted sesame oil. The broccoli and green beans are cooked in the same water as the pasta, and everything gets tossed together in one big bowl to serve family style.

The recipe is incredibly versatile - it is vegan as written, you can use GF pasta if that is a consideration, and there is very little added oil, if you're keeping an eye on that. It can adapt through the seasons - swap in asparagus/favas in spring, roasted cubes of winter squash or sweet potatoes later in the year.

Weeknight Ponzu Pasta

PRINT RECIPE

5 from 1 vote

Use your favorite pasta, preferable whole-grain or something made from legumes - I've been enjoying this chickpea pasta lately - made from chickpea flour. It's nice because if you're serving a crowd, it works for GF, etc. On the ponzu sauce front I've been liking the "From Japan" brand organic ponzu - but there are a good number of vegan ponzu options out there. Just choose one that tastes good, preferably organic, without too much salt. A twist on this would be to skip the pasta, and swap in the equivalent of a can of garbanzo beans (rinsed, drained). Or trade out the tofu for chickpeas. If you want to make this ahead of time, for a party or picnic later, run each ingredient under cold water to stop the cooking, and assemble just before serving.

Ingredients

8 ounces extra firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

8 ounces small pasta

6 tablespoons ponzu sauce

3 garlic cloves, minced

scant 1/2 teaspoon chile flakes, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

8 ounces green beans, chopped

8 ounces broccoli florets

a small bunch of cilantro (or basil), chopped

bonus: cherry tomatoes, hemp hearts, crumbled kale chips, also we have a makrut lime tree, and if you finely slice a leaf or two into fine threads, then add it here...magic.

Instructions

To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the ponzu, garlic, chile, and sesame oil. Taste, adjust, and set aside.

When the pasta water is boiling, salt the water, add the pasta, and cook per package instructions. Use a strainer to transfer the cooked pasta into a large serving bowl. Use the same boiling pasta water to cook the green beans for about a minute, add the broccoli, and allow to cook another minute. Until both are just tender. Quickly drain and transfer to the bowl with the pasta. 

Add the tofu, and the ponzu dressing, and toss well. Add the cilantro, and any other bonus ingredients, give one last toss, and serve immediately.

Serves 3-4.

Inside Upper Left Roasters’ New Downtown Portland Cafe

Originally built in 1909, the iconic Meier & Frank building was once home to some of Portland’s busiest department stores. Now in 2019, with the wrap-up of a multi-million dollar landmark renovation project, the building is now home to the second outpost of Portland’s very own Upper Left Roasters.

“Growing up here, I visited this building to come to Macy’s. Now I own a coffee shop here and it’s very surreal,” says Upper Left co-owner and CEO Katherine Harris. The multi-year remodel in the heart of downtown Portland includes a sprawling 10,000-square-foot outpost of Japanese homewares and lifestyle brand MUJI, as well as mixed-use retail and commercial offices across 15 floors spanning an entire city block.

Upper Left has made a name for itself over the past three years at their original location in SE Portland, anchoring a sun-drenched corner of Ladd’s Addition, the leafy planned neighborhood of parks and stately homes designed in a “wagon wheel” shape inspired by Washington D.C. From the in-house roaster to the sunlit interior, Upper Left has set down roots in Portland and has become a staple in the coffee community—the cafe still feels quite like nothing else in the city. For this new project downtown, going from their own brick and mortar shop to fitting in as a piece of a 40,000-square-foot project came with a host of new challenges. Harris and her team embraced the process as they worked to integrate their coffee company into this brand new space.

“This opportunity to work on this project with Meier & Frank has been fulfilling because of how the team came together,” Harris said. “This project takes a whole team, and we’re getting better every day as a team.”

The teamwork does not begin and end with Upper Left solely; in addition to MUJI, the building is also home to The Nines hotel and its nationally regarded restaurant, Departure, helmed by two-time James Beard Award semifinalist (and Top Chef finalist) Gregory Gourdet. This district of Portland is packed with retail options, restaurants, and coffee bars; with other popular brands in the vicinity, it took a pointed effort from Upper Left, the adjoining businesses, and the design team to make sure each individual brand identities would cut through, rather than blending in.

Katherine Harris.

“Our brand translating was important. We wanted to preserve our minimalism, clean lines, and thoughtful construction,” Harris said.

Although they achieved in bringing their aesthetic to life in the lobby, this part of Portland is very fast-paced. From people going to work or shopping at local retail stores, it’s a toss-up whether customers will get the coffee shop vibe when shortly visiting. With Upper Left, Harris ensured they get the full shop experience in a short period of time.

“No matter where you are, everyone wants great customer service. We want to create a visually appealing place to enjoy your coffee,” explained Harris. “What your coffee tastes like and the experience you have is extremely important.”

One of the highlights of this new location is their menu, and how it caters to the space. Harris felt that they needed to be very intentional when selecting the options. The team checked all boxes when curating their menu, from customers schedules, the size of the space, and even how the food smelled in the lobby.

Speaking of food, Upper Left’s original location is well-regarded for its cafe menu, and at the downtown shop there are some new menu items to check out. Definitely get the new bagel sandwich, featuring ponzu cream cheese, avocado, and Asian chili salt. They also offer avocado toast with nut butter; both are solid food options for people to enjoy in-house or on the go. Whether ordering a cortado or picking up a bag of Guatemala Chapina, the coffee portion of the menu strikes a similar tone to the brand’s original location, focusing on roast quality and sourcing. However, one stark contrast between the two locations is the exclusion of pour-over service downtown, in an effort to minimize wait times. Perhaps to help speed things up and with summer just around the corner, Upper Left are kegging their original cold brew as well as a single-origin cacao nib nitro cold brew, and offering an array of tea options courtesy of Steven Smith and Tea Bar.

Behind the coffee bar, they have a La Marzocco Linea Classic two-group, paired with Mahlkönig EK43 and Mazzer Major espresso grinders. Batch brew happens via a trusty Curtis Brewer.

Since their opening on December 20, the shop has been creating a buzz in downtown Portland. Although the holiday months and start of the New Year can often be slow for downtown—which really comes alive during the summer international tourist season—Upper Left has seen a steady stream of traffic, even with only weekday hours. For Harris, this shop opening in this building isn’t simply a plot in a popular area, it’s nostalgic.

“It’s an honor to have a coffee shop in this historic building. I’m excited to be downtown and encounter new types of customers.” And downtown seems pretty pumped to have them, too.

Upper Left Roasters is located at 555 SW Morrison, Portland. Visit their official website and follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
