When there’s a big disaster, it’s hard enough to keep track of the people you know live there without adding to it the people who are visiting. And it was probably a safety precaution for the foreign workers at the nuclear plant, in case it went bad (which it did).

I flew into San Francisco the morning after it hit in Japan. There was a man on my hotel shuttle who was getting in from Japan. He was working at the Fukushima plant when it happened. He offered to stay and help, but they were quickly gathering up foreign workers and shuttling them to Tokyo to send them home.

Boudin balls are the best’

At the top of the page, there’s a “Jump to Recipe” link :)

Thank you for sharing the recipe you used! It looks so much better than others I’ve seen that just seem to be crazily involved and overly complicated. I can’t wait to try making some!
