Royce Chocolate Potato Chips

It looked like it was chocolate. But it said something in there about potato chips. I had a hard time consolidating those two concepts. I was almost convinced […]

A small bar in Ikebukuro
Last Friday, R. and I went to a small bar in Ikebukuro. Our aim was to find the small bar Afiya, run by a friend of a friend. It is a really small wine bar that has a focus on food from Senegal. The place has maybe room for 8, so a very cozy atmosphere. […]

Fafhd and the Gray Mouser: finally getting around to a classic
On my last trip to the US, I decided to finally sit down and read a classic in the fantasy genre, Fritz Leiber’s Lahnkmar series with Fafhd and the Gray Mouser. I picked up the first volume, a compilation of sorts I think, and gave it a read. Overall it took a while for me […]
