Haircut day! Which means I get to go into the city and be around people. In desperate need of social stimulation.

Might I suggest a brief lunch interlude at Pasta Khan Dolan Uyghur? (Attempt 3)

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wish I could second this recommendation. My experience at that restaurant was pretty average. The food was unique, but very meh.

😮 what did you order?

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Uyghur

I'm guessing entree was imprisonment and the main was repression.

I hope I'm not on a list now

@Bottom_racer @Force_majeure123 I've tried Uyghur food before — albeit not at that restaurant — and it was delicious 😋

I forget what it was called, but it was a dish where noodles were chopped up into little squares, mixed with chopped up veggies, and cooked in a sauce, with a choice of meats (optional if you're vegetarian).

That's one of these guys signature dishes, really interesting texture

@Force_majeure123 I just mentioned Uyghur food to wifey.

She really doesn't like onions, but likes the taste of their food otherwise.

(And by "really doesn't like onions", I mean I've seen her pick out every piece of diced onion from a dish before.)

I'm not sure if it's just the restaurant we went to, but they had *lots* of pieces of finely diced onion in their dish, so that's a non-starter for her.

Yeh fair enough, can't please everyone (and especially not those who hate onion!)

[–] Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Fuck it why not!

Aw yeee, get on that self-care! A haircut done by a good barber feels so damn nice

[–] ajsadauskas@aus.social 3 points 6 months ago

@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ Ooh, exciting! 😊

Are you going to mix it up a bit and get a new style? Any that you have in mind?
