Earthquake!

Huge 1.8 magnitude quake nearby

8PM last night the house make a medium loud crack sound.  Sure enough, a huge 1.8 magnitude earthquake was documented 3km away.  I think the new front porch held the house together.  We are surviving off of canned goods and awaiting FEMA shelters.   I am hoping Dutchsince will talk about this one.  Oh the humanity.

Jinya

Ramen is more than the 15 cent cup of noodles you see at the store.  We have a number of good ramen places around here.  We come back to Jinya time and again as they consistently good.  They are the gold standard in town for others to match.  They have a lot of different ramen broths to choose from and I have not tried them all.  I noticed they have a kale noodle now which I will try next time to see how the low carb thing works out.  Jinya now has 3 locations in town and 2 of them do a good job.   Is it as good as Tajima in San Diego or Danbo in Seattle?  I will need more testing.

Tempura brussel sprouts
Jalapeno corn. New appetizer on menu. finely diced peppers and onion with freshly cut corn. In butter. Not too hot but wonderful.
Shrimp Ramen. Wanton wrapped shrimp balls in a chicken/tonkotsu broth. Very good.
Spicy Tonkotsu: Thicker noodles and added an egg. The chashu is from a new supplier and not quite as tender but still very good.
