And just as I thought I was done with noodles, my paranasal sinuses got clogged up. Big time. We were walking to the bus home, my eardrums were about to burst and all around me was being covered with dark fog. Across the street from Port Authority Bus Terminal, there’s Sky Pavilion, a Sichuan restaurant once pinpointed by Ruth Reichl. What if ma and la and hot — preferably in liquid form — can get things in my head moving? Worth a shot. While I was undergoing treatment with sliced beef and noodles in spicy broth depleting restaurant’s napkin supply, my companion was munching on smoked ribs patiently waiting for the medicine to kick in. Did it work? Yes. Reasonably unclogged, I made it to the bus and to my medicine cabinet at home still conscious and breathing. #food #noodles #mala #chinesefood #foodasmedicine #cure #diningout #nyc #newyorkrestaurant #skypavillion #sichuanfood #hotandnumbing

@walli@pixelfed.de Walter, this is funny! We used to be the family of five, then four, now it’s just the two of us. I don’t cook a lot but I cook every day. It has become a form of therapy in this day and age. Actually, I cook for four — two dinners and two lunches for the next day.😍
