I suddenly very much have a craving for samosas. I blame this entirely on a children's book set in India that I was flipping through at the store.

Found a little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant in which the menu is actually fairly Chinese, as opposed to having lots of sweet and sour! Must go back sometime. Chinese food makes me so homesick -- it is good that I am going to Hawaii in two days! Three days! Oops.

Lin Ahyi's restaurant has started serving Chinese-style steamed fish, which makes me incredibly happy. I was quite rude and hogged the cheeks ^_^.

Moving is commencing next week *sniff*. While I love the new apartment with the granite countertops and the vaulted ceiling, I am still feeling faintly nostalgic and sentimental. Plus, there is much frustration even from just thinking about trying to get all my furniture moved. Ugh. But the internet connection is being transferred next week, and whither the internet goest (goeth?), so I follow. Or, you know, some other non-mangled version.

Today would be Angel night, but it's not. I haven't rewatched the finale yet -- maybe I will tonight, and bawl like a baby.

The job search continues to drive me insane -- I guess it is going well, but it's taking so long!! And I absolutely abhor making all these contacts and networking, despite the fact that I know I am very lucky to have them and that it is a Good Thing to Do. But sometimes just thinking about going and talking to one more person I don't know makes me go into hysterical fits.

Oh, please, please tell us the names of the good Chinese restaurants.

Sympathy on the moving. Any home has so many associations--even if the new one is better, it's so hard to leave the old one. You leave part of yourself behind.

Great good luck on the job search!

Where? Where?

I am so with you on the cold-calling. Talking to people when I don't see why they'd wanto to be bothered makes me go all squirmy inside. The universe belongs to extroverts.

Found it!

I passed your note on to my husband, and he found a long review of the restaurant with address. Chowhound (http://www.chowhound.com/california/boards/sanfrancisco6/messages/19486.html). The reviewer says the good stuff is really only accessible if you can read the Chinese menu, which isn't surprising.
