Fugakyu Brookline Review


Fugakyu Brookline Review:

If you like to eat out and don't like to cook, but want an intimate experience in a semi-private atmosphere, look no further. My experience: Two times I went in the past two weeks I was able to find parking right in front of it, on the opposite side of the street. Upon entering, you are greeted by a light wood interior, a fish pond full to the brim, and two floors of the greatest sushi experience in Boston. There are normal tables which are nice with a big group that is looking for a more typical restaurant experience and there are also private rooms that have sliding doors. 

I ate:

Crunchy sushi (6.4) warm not my style

California roll - classic, but the best way to judge (pristine and refreshing, ahhhhh)

Spicy Duck - eh - take it or leave it

Miso soup - must-order essentials

White rice - mid

edamame - good as always 

sake flight - one of them looked like lemonade - that one's the best

green tea (hot) - must have, comes extra hot, not for the faint of heart.

overall experience + food = 9.1/10

Every U.S City had a Great Fire?


 Maybe the weirdest coincidence I have ever come across is the Great Fire coincidence of the 1800s. I saw an article saying that every major city in the U.S had a massive fire between 1800 and 1870. I had a hard time believing this, and honestly, how can you blame me with all the far-fetched conspiracies circulating the Internet today? None of those ever turned out to be true right? ;) Upon a quick Google I was stunned, type in the great fire of ______ (insert any major U.S city from 1800) 

• Great Boston Fire of 1872

• Great Chicago Fire 1871

• Great Fire of 1805 Detroit

• Great Fire of New York - 1835 

+Dallas, LA & More

Why do we read left to right? By: Holden Kodish

 I’ve always wondered why we write our words left to right, and then move down a row. With the advent of new technology, wouldn’t it make more sense to rotate the page over and over like a circle until you reach that nice center point. “But Holden” You say “What about dyslexics?” Well, I’m pretty sure that the way the words are organized would be trouble for some people, and a benefit for another. And plus, I think we’d all agree, this is much, much, much, much, prettier.

The Top 10 Celebrity Cooking Disasters

  1. The Burnt Pancake Fiasco: When Gordon Ramsay attempted to flip pancakes for a charity breakfast event, things took a fiery turn. Instead of golden perfection, he ended up with a charred mess that even his signature insults couldn't salvage.

  2. The Overcooked Pasta Debacle: Martha Stewart, the queen of homemaking, faced embarrassment when she served overcooked pasta to a group of high-profile guests. It seems even culinary royalty can't always get al dente just right.

  3. The Salty Soup Surprise: Bobby Flay, known for his culinary prowess, had a slip-up when he accidentally poured an entire container of salt into a soup he was preparing live on television. The resulting salty soup had viewers cringing and reaching for their water glasses.

  4. The Raw Chicken Catastrophe: Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa herself, had a rare misstep when she served up raw chicken at a dinner party. It seems even the most seasoned chefs can have their off days in the kitchen.

  5. The Kitchen Fire Fiasco: When Rachael Ray attempted to flambe a dish for her cooking show, things went from sizzle to fizzle in seconds flat. The kitchen fire that ensued had viewers tuning in for the drama, rather than the recipe.

  6. The Burnt Thanksgiving Turkey Disaster: When Jamie Oliver attempted to roast a Thanksgiving turkey for his American fans, he forgot one crucial step: setting the oven temperature. The result? A burnt bird that even gravy couldn't mask.

  7. The Soufflé Collapse: Nigella Lawson's attempt at a soufflé on her cooking show ended in disaster when the delicate dessert collapsed before the camera. It seems even culinary goddesses have their soufflé slumps.

  8. The Unappetizing Smoothie Mishap: When Joe Wicks, the Body Coach, attempted to blend a healthy smoothie for his Instagram followers, he accidentally added a spoonful of salt instead of sugar. The resulting concoction had fans questioning his taste buds.

  9. The Spicy Curry Overload: When Ayesha Curry attempted to spice up her curry recipe for her family, she accidentally added an entire bottle of chili powder instead of a teaspoon. The resulting dish had her husband, Steph Curry, reaching for the milk jug.

  10. The Cake Collapse Catastrophe: When Buddy Valastro, the Cake Boss himself, attempted to transport a multi-tiered cake for a celebrity wedding, disaster struck. The cake collapsed en route, leaving the bride and groom with a sweet memory they'd rather forget.
