United Oriental Food Market is closed:
This one was from FOY, Saya, who mentioned in passing that United Oriental had closed. I always drive past this location, but I guess I wasn't paying much attention.
The sign doesn't say much. Too bad…….
More about the old Osaka Kitchen location:
In an earlier post, I mentioned that the folks who own Okan are taking over this spot. I recently had the pleasure of grabbing a bite with Ed from Yuma and Cathy at Okan. At the end of the meal, I had a chance to speak to Nanase, the young lady who does a fantastic job of managing Okan. I mentioned the Osaka Kitchen spot, and was told that this location will specialize in Nabe and grilled items. And was most surprised to learn that they intent to open this month! No wonder the place is being worked on during weekends as well.
From the it's right under my nose files:
This place has opened in Diane Village shopping center.
And being the bozo that I am….I didn't even notice until recently. Well, that's to be rectified soon…a post is coming right up.
A salute to all our FOYs:
I had notice something interesting a while back………. the mention of oatmeal in the wonderful comments. At first I thought it was just "Judy", but after reading through some older posts, I noticed that Oatmeal seemed to be the FOY's (friends of yoso) breakfast item of choice. It all came to a head in the comments of this post. So let's hear it….. am I correct?
Anyway, to all our oatmeal eating FOYs, I salute you:
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
