A foodie wish list

Some random thoughts... It's been such a long time since I posted that I thought I'd job this quick list whlie I'm still trying to figure out why I'm having problems uploading photos. I did dip into the blogspot troubleshooting page and found out I'm not the only one to have this problem since the site was redesigned. But I haven't found a solution yet. What's weird is that I was able to upload 5 photos to one post - and then not again.

List by 2s....

1. Two cuisines I most want to get to know better: Philippine and Venezuelan

2. Foods I want to learn how to make well: sushi and Mexican mole sauces

3. Neighborhoods I want to spend more time exploring: area around Bronx hub; neighborhoods in East Bronx (including Parkchester) where new immigrants are settling

4. Current favorite "ethnic" fast-food places: Cachapas y mas in Inwood (which recently opened a 2nd outpost on Broadway near 177th Street and expanded its base restaurant) and Merit Food Palace in Jackson Heights (Bangladeshi and Himalayan (Tibetan and Nepali) foods

5. Current favorite Caribbean foods (after working on Noshnews): Trinidadian doubles and black cake, found on Church Avenue and surroundings in Brooklyn - Flatbush, Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts

Blogspot won't let me post a photo!!!
