Miora contains an amylase, a protease, starch, sugar, and MSG and is used to cook rice for sushi. Unlikely that a homecook would make regular rice with Miora?

Sushi is made with shari, which is seasoned by vinegar/sugar/salt/mirin. Onigiri, at least what I have had, is seasoned by sprinkling salt in your palm before pressing the rice together. While I avoid sushi from a store's refrigerator, pre-made rice balls are fine either purchased from the store or room temperature taken to a picnic from home.

Right, pork dishes are an Okinawan specialty. I've never had pork-filled onigiri. Is it pork belly? Did you ever go to the restaurant on Richmond Hwy in Hybla Valley? I think it described itself as serving Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Okinawan cuisine

Of course, you're correct. I see now my comment was written misleadingly. Athough a common topping, toppings like bean sprouts and cabbage (raw or cooked) are not my preference. I'm sure the shop would omit the bean sprouts if asked. I still haven't been to Daikaya Ramen, but I'm looking forward to trying their ramen. the above is an extreme version of Jiro ramen posted for amusement, not something from Daikaya Ramen -
I think the Japanese prefer the nori on a riceball to be as crispy as possible

True, but after doing some online research, I found the best deal for obtaining yen is to get US$ traveler's checks from my bank (no charge) and exchanging them at Narita for yen. The exchange rate is better for traveler's checks than for US$ cash because the transfer for the bank is electronic. There was no difference that I cound find in exchange rates between banks and Thomas Cook at the airport. The caveat is exchanging traverler's checks outside the airport is difficult. Otherwise, the advice about using an ATM is true in Japan. Most US bank cards could be used in 7-11 or Lawsons.

The explanation I have received several times in random discussions with the bartender is that discounts on alcohol are forbidden by the Virigina ABC law. Hence, the Arrowine coupon cannot be used on wine and "buying back" a steady customer's drink has to be done discreetly.

a parody of a cookbook. The promotional video might be considered NSFW. People identifies Fowler as "an established food industry professional" who wants to remain anonymous.

Although I only knew you two from DR events, I'm very sorry about Mrs. B's passing. I have a pleasant memory, hopefully correct, of sliently watching Charles and Stephanie who were enjoying themselves back in Nectar's bar. It was the first restaurant I had loyalty to, because of the way it was run by Jarad Slipp and Jamison Blankenship. Now, that memory is strengthened by its association with the happy couple.

Found a Kickstarter project to expand Wangari Gardens in the Park View neighborhood http://kck.st/SYlBl0 I haven't been there, but there are several stories I have read about its start this past spring. Seemed worthy of a donation, but you should do your own due diligence FB: facebook.com/WangariGardens/info website: wangarigardens.wordpress.com videos: wapo.st/MJplEL and youtube.com/watch?v=ssyBVosFkqA
