ramen

I’ve grown up watching anime (which is Japanese animation/cartoons, if you didn’t already know).  Years ago, my cousin Mike introduced me to a anime series called “Naruto“.  At that time it was only in Japan, but since has landed states’ side.

I know it’s been a VERY long time since I’ve posted, but my life has gotten very, very busy!  So far this year, I’ve been juggling my job, a new puppy (her name is Honey), planning and preparing for my brother’s wedding and I’m working on a new website called JotandGot.  Always on my grind! Making moves, son! But I digress.

I’ve lived in Hampton Roads for over 20 years, and I still get surprised when I stumble upon a new great restaurant.  Thanks to my favorite mobile app (thanks Urbanspoon!), I can explore the area with a set of new eyes.

My mom and I went to Royal Thai Cuisine on, what I like to call, a “mom date”.  She had a $25 gift certificate so we thought we would give it a try.
