Diwali feast at ESI Group Detroit (catered by Saffron)

Chana Masala and Chicken 65
 StringGirl stayed home today and missed a lovely luncheon feast offered by management at the Self-Proclaimed-Die-Experts (though now a Virtual Reality Evangelist) new place of employment. Instead Mr Hops Joe (Hopfn Sepp) attended in her place. You might remember Hops Joe from earlier posts and his visits to Pilsn, Prague,  Detroit,  Seattle just to mention a few.
Chicken Tikka and Chicken Tikka Masala
 Diwali is a harvest festival and festival of lights. Recognized as a time to celebrate and hope for succes of light over darkness, good over evil, true wealth over transient wealth.
Mixed Vegetable Masala and Chicken Makhani (butter chicken)
 The food was so tasty that we forgot to take more pictures to capture the rest of the office as they enjoyed (many for the first time) this abundant collection of tasty food. Being able to join in this celebration was certainly a moment for the true wealth of fellowship and friendship, which we should have captured in pictures; but for the fact we were chatting and getting to know each other better. And after all, that is what the meal was really about.
Chicken Biryani
 The food was catered by Saffron Fine Indian Cuisine. They delivered it to the office and set it up. Everything was excellent, and yes we tried EVERYTHING!. I can only assume that dining it at Saffron must be just as good as their catering.


Having worked in offices where a majority of the technical staff was Indian for the past 16 years, this was the first time that an official Diwali Feast was organized for employees.

An excellent spread! Very good catered lunch buffet.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled 🛷 . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
