The
Voynich Manuscript is a mysterious late mediæval text, written in an unknown script in an unknown language or cypher. It reads as if written fluently, not by someone who was painfully calculating each next character, but by someone who understood what he was writing. It looks like a curious herbal or alchemical treatise, full of diagrams of unknown plants, unknown constellations, and elaborate networks of plumbing inhabited by plump, naked, crowned women.

Still love Cambodian Cuisine in Brooklyn and Holy Basil....
I stoped by Grand Sichuan Int Midtown for some to-go, I know I want to find a new spot, people had sent me emails from far and wide wondering how this little Chinese joint made it to the top eight NY.......My friend Daniel asked me to have them make a special lunch for a wine critic pal of his, they made a meal with nothing on the menu, its was funky, some were lets say something polite here "for the highly adventerous", other dishes were insane good, the chicken killed that morning was as good as any poulet de Bresse, then with the "man cooking" we went to the regular menu and every dish was awesome, byob vino deluxe....to-go was good, food has been inconsistant with the family fueding, maybe I will never stop...

78 OTAFUKU
Think it might be a new nightclub owned by Joey Buttafuoco? Nope-it's an Osaka-style street-food stand where the specialty is a gooey pancake called otafuku, which means "cook what you like." While the range of offerings
doesn't match that of a similar establishment at the Japanese mall in Edgewater, New Jersey, Otafuku provides a fine intro to the genre, featuring ingredients such as shrimp, unsmoked bacon, and squid. Also offered: fried octopus balls (gee, I didn't know they had balls).

((The Ocu-balls were fun but just ok to me, the pancake is made of cabbage with toppings....I will do a road trip to Edgewater soon))
