    Who is your favorite cartoon character?

    For this one, I’ll have to give you my favorite character from when I was a kid. I currently do not have a favorite cartoon character.

    It’s Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They were such a cool bunch of characters. They ate pizza, knew martial arts, and fought crime. These guys were the good guys.

    There was a Burger King promotion around the time the Ninja Turtles began to be shown on TV. BK was giving away a TMNT episode on VHS cassette tape with the purchase of a kids’ meal. They were offering 4 different episodes. I convinced my mom to buy kids’ meals so that I could get all 4 episodes (over the course of a few weeks, not all at once).

    Michelangelo was my favorite because he had a laid-back attitude but he was still able to get the job done. That attitude resonated with me: succeeding did not require stress! He was such a contrast to his brothers.

    Michelangelo was the legitimate party dude who could fight crime and have fun doing it.

  • Nene’s Taqueria – Food Review

    Lately, my friends have been sending me posts on Instagram of various people doing food reviews at food shops and restaurants. One of these places that caught my eye was one of Nene’s Taqueria in Brooklyn. IAM and I took a trip there last night.

    We got there around 8 p.m. The place was packed with customers waiting for their orders and those consuming their selections. Also, since it was early spring, the weather was nice but wasn’t warm enough to dine outside.

    Nene’s is known for their variety of birria dishes. We decided to get the birria pizza and ramen. They were able to translate the typical birria cuisine and flavor into an unorthodox presentation like the “pizza” which really is a big quesadilla, and into a noodle soup with a rich broth.

    Our selections from Nene’s

    On a scale of “1” to “5”, with whole integers and “3” out of the question, I would give Nene’s Taqueria a 4. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for the next one.
