Gonna yang it up this week, cleansing this web neighborhood of fuckery vibes. We're spanning the globe to bring you stories of humans doing cool stuff with other humans.
First up, a pair of pals from NYC who recently started documenting their effort to eat the cuisine of every nation in the world while staying in the Big Apple. This New Year's Eve entry featuring Bhutan is a smile inducer.

This post is much more fun than fuckery week and this culinary undertaking will be great to follow. They should've tried the wienerschnitzel at Budapest Cafe.
ReplyDeleteCountry 8 was Tajikistan! Like TJ!
ReplyDeleteCountry 6 was Albania. You know... Al... ba... ni... a...
This is indeed more fun.
That video is fantastic. That is joy. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! A few years ago I had visions of getting varying country's cuisine cookbooks from the library every few weeks and trying to make dishes from them...alas, that never happened. But perhaps it can be a revived plan for 2026. Inspired by this post?! A friend of our son made Miso Soup the other day here, and it was AHMAZING! Hey, Z - if you're offering "hybrid" advice, would love it. Also, just out of curiosity, what do you think of the Volkswagon van - ID.Buzz?
ReplyDeleteon the one hand, never wanna root against mike tomlin. on the other, aaron rodgers and the fact that the steelers are dreadfully boring. discuss.
ReplyDeleteI know several Yinzers and Yinzer-adjacents, and they'd be only too happy to be rid of Tomlin. For them, playoff win drought (2016 last win, 0-5 since) far outweighs the 'never had a losing record' of his resume'. Offense and QB problems dating to late, broken-down Roethlisberger, inability to find or nurture a suitable replacement, unimaginative schemes and play-calling also frosts them greatly.
ReplyDeleteI suppose they could get Mike McDaniel up to Yinzertown, if they're up for having another black head coach. I'm sure his Miami swag will fit right in there.
ReplyDeleteI'll root for Mike Tomlin, esp since I have no affinity for Houston-town.
ReplyDeleteTomlin is a Hampton Roads native who went to William & Mary for a Sociology degree and would get subs at Philly Joe's in Hampton (two blocks from my old job). I mean, he's basically me.
Tomlin is exceptionally good dude and quality coach, albeit with blind spots.
ReplyDeleteQuick story: Heading into his first season in Pitt as head coach, paper sent me there for a week to do lengthy feature on him and debut. I had covered him at W&M and kept up with him in march thru pro ranks.
Arrived for Steelers' final preseason game to get settled. Told team's p.r. staff that I'd like some access within reason, hometown paper, that I knew him. They couldn't have been more dismissive -- yeah, sure, Virginia guy.
Post game, Tomlin was going thru remarks to reporter scrum. Spotted me, interrupted himself and smiled, said, 'Hey Dave, how you doing?' Everybody turned, looked to see who the hell was this guy? P.R. folks looked at me, I just shrugged at them as if to say, 'Told you.' Didn't get preferential treatment next week but had little extra access.
For the record, I love Finding Joy Week and hope we can all contribute.
