John Curtis — Mountain Bike Racer

http://www.johndcurtis.com/blog/page/2

John Curtis — Mountain Bike Racer. John Curtis is mountain bike racing in Texas. Workout of the week – Hill Repeats. June 29, 2006 – 2:21 pm. I’m at the point where I need to build two things: strength and endurance. Instead of hitting the gym and doing leg presses (zzzzz) I chose to do a controlled set of hill climb intervals on my mountain bike. The goal for the ride:. Spend at least 30 minutes climbing. Stay seated on the climbs to build hip strength. Keep the hr low. Posted in Training and Racing.

Austin Food Data Bank: Craig O's

http://foodopedia.blogspot.com/2005/08/craig-os.html

Austin Food Data Bank. Thursday, August 11, 2005. I'll be honest. The only reason I ended up finding out about Craig O's Pizza and Pastaria. Was that it was so close to work, no one could miss it. Literally across the street (er. freeway), we were all so happy when it opened, as it breathed some fresh air into our previously-stagnating set of nearby lunch options ( Sawadee Thailand. Has now done that again, to a much greater extent. same with Galaxy Cafe. It's okay. Pasta? Is there, I'm happy for the res...

Austin Food Data Bank: Asti

http://foodopedia.blogspot.com/2005/08/asti.html

Austin Food Data Bank. Sunday, August 14, 2005. The word on the street about Asti Trattoria. I went to Asti (named after an Italian town. The other night for a friend's going-away dinner. Just FYI, the friend treated us all. Free food! Here's what I got:. Allow me to expound on the "mushroom thing". Well. let's do that later. Allow me to expound on the champagne. First and foremost, it went straight to my head. I'm no Mr. Champagne, but it was very tasty. a rosé. I'm sure kids would love that! If you lik...

The Good Lei: July 2006

http://goodlei.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Rahul's blog from Honolulu, Paradise, circa 2005-2007. Now from Manhattan. Sunday, July 30, 2006. The Interpreter (Sean Penn, Nicole Kidman). 6/10 This is not a bad movie, but more of the pass-time type. Nice shots of the UN and some mild US-bashing which is always a good thing. Further developments occur which I will keep secret in order to be less of a spoiler. The movie is reasonably slick, but falters a bit near the end. Watch it at the dollar theater. Posted by rahul @ 11:16 PM. Who is the bad boy?

Austin Food Data Bank: Madras Pavillion

http://foodopedia.blogspot.com/2005/07/madras-pavillion.html

Austin Food Data Bank. Monday, July 18, 2005. It's time for the essay you've all been waiting for: my Madras Pavillion. Retrospective. (Let's call it MP for sanity). In short: Go. Eat well. Say hi to Delfino (the manager). I've been paying visits to this place for a few years now. In general, it's pretty darn sweet because:. 3) Pretty good food most of the time, some of it excellent. 4) South Asian food (my favorite genre - albeit a hugely general one). I admit, this is an awesome restaurant. Look every ...

Austin Food Data Bank: July 2005

http://foodopedia.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html

Austin Food Data Bank. Friday, July 29, 2005. In my book, Shalimar. Has a storied past. Honestly, I wish it weren't so storied. Ah. the old days. before the ownership change. before the food turned to evil. 'Twas the best South Asian food in Austin (arguably). Weeks later, with a clear mind and zero expectations, I went in for another try and was shocked to discover one spectacular menu item, the Dal. My friend ordered the Palak. Also with a naan. We shared. Posted by pdm @ 6:58 PM 4 comments. It's popul...

Austin Food Data Bank: Sao Paulo's

http://foodopedia.blogspot.com/2005/09/sao-paulos.html

Austin Food Data Bank. Monday, September 19, 2005. It is definitely cool that there is at least one Brazilian restaurant in town, namely Sao Paulo's. This place used to be called Sampaio's, and they're opening up a new Sampaio's-named place. On Burnet. FYI, the number to Sao Paulo's is 512-479-9988. Usually contains pork (if not, then beef). So in a way, I'm a novice, at least since I went vegetarian. Please keep this in mind. All they liked was talking to the owner in Portuguese. I have to say that'...

The Good Lei: September 2006

http://goodlei.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Rahul's blog from Honolulu, Paradise, circa 2005-2007. Now from Manhattan. Sunday, September 17, 2006. 75/10 This is the coffee shop on Waialae and 12th avenue. I spend quite a bit of my time there with a laptop or a good book. From the food point of view, the situation is not so rosy. The sandwiches and burgers are mediocre and best avoided. I recall a hot melt with such poor qualiy pastrami that one would need a crocodile's jaws to break off a piece. The cookies are quite good though, espec...Concernin...

Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. View my complete profile. Lost in translation, again. Spice (New York, E 75th and 3rd ave). From India - Conversations.

The Good Lei: May 2006

http://goodlei.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Rahul's blog from Honolulu, Paradise, circa 2005-2007. Now from Manhattan. Wednesday, May 03, 2006. India Cafe, India House and Maharani. Well, it's been a long time since I blogged. Too many life un-changing events have been going on lately to leave space for serious reviewing. Been to Zaffron. It is buffet-only with average dishes and $20 for that. Pointless. With the addition of the on-campus take-out place, and further visits, I say now that India Cafe is better than India House. The price is reasona...
