Good Stuff

Untitled

Here’s a quick list of some really good stuff I’ve come across lately but for whatever reason didn’t make it into their own blog posts on here, my tikichris-to-go Tumblr blog or one of my client blogs.

Bo Ningen: Wow. Japanese psychedelic rawk-n-roll. Just happened to catch a few songs performed live by these days at an in-shop gig at Rough Trade. Blew me away and reminded me of the type of music I spent way too much time listening to as a teen. Must have more!

Dishoom Shoreditch: Had din-din here with from friends visiting from Paris last week (congrats to David and Aurélie on getting hitched). Very cool and spacious, great menu and maybe even a more enjoyable offering than the original Dishoom on Upper St Martin’s Lane. Definitely a welcome addition to the neighbourhood!

Edible Selby: Went along to the Edible Selby book launch and signing at St John Smithfield. Nice guy, cool book.

Ginger Pig: Last night I attended a sausage making class at Ginger Pig’s Marylebone butcher shop. And you know that old saying about laws and sausages? Well truth be told if you’re eating quality ingredient sausages (like they sell at the Ginger Pig) there’s little reason not to look inside. I learned a lot and now have a ton of my own handmade sausages. If you like meat and love knowing the provenance of your food, I highly recommend signing up for one of Ginger Pig’s butchery classes.

Big thanks to the incredibly kind friends who pitched in to give me the birthday voucher for this class. I’ve got some tasty sausages sitting in the freezer that I hope to share with you soon.

Instagram: Yep, Instagram feeds are now viewable on non-mobile browsers. I’m pretty pleased with how mine looks and think it’s cool I can share more photos with more people. Although now that folks can see my mobile photography a little bigger and on bigger scenes, I wonder if its time to get a new iPhone. And I really must admit that most of the time the app is really just an excuse to post pics of my cat being cute.
