I was actually working on the subway in NYC, at the Atlantic Avenue IRT station, when the great Junior's Cheesecake Fire happened in 1981.
I was one of those chanting, given that I'd just hopped a train down one stop to Nevins St. to grab some lunch when I saw the fire. |
Oh, no the Junior's fire! I remember someone calling me, from the scene, from a local payphone (no cellphones or smartphones in '81, bygod!) and he was nearly hysterical. I think he'd have been less upset about people than cheesecake, TBH.

I do 1-2 very quick-n-easy, sort of Americanized Asian meals--Kung Pao Chicken, easy-peasy and a modified version of that that makes it Sesame chicken, more or less. Mooches those from Epicurious, if memory serves and even though they are faux-Asian, they are both excellent.
That's about it. I really don't have the patience for the endless dicing of the veggies, I JUST DON'T. Drives me nuts. Once made spring rollss and thought I would die. I mean, jeeeze. Even with a good mandolin(e) (e for US readers, without the e for UK) or a good food processor, it's still a bloody hassle.
