Last night I had a drink called the Turk - Traditional Turkish Raki and Water with Pistachios. Not a bad drink to be named after you.
$25m for an hdmi to hdmi cord PLUS $20 for a dvi to hdmi connector at target. seems exorbitant. going to keep looking.
turns out the laptop we have only has a vgi port. probably not worth the effort. hmmm. will try other avenues.
Checking out Zakia’s Deli on Stinson for the first time. Review to follow shortly.
I would only give Zakia’s a B. Lentil soup - not bad, but not great. Gyro - big!, a lot of meat, not enough tahini, pita just ok…
Hot sauce wasn’t hot! And only came in tiny packets. I’ll take Holy Land over Zakia’s. Overall, a disappointment.
Going in search of Dvi to hdmi cord so I can try Boxee on our new tv.
