Fukuda: Impressive Japanese Cuisine

February 27, 2014 1:21 pm

With its strip mall location in The Woodlands, Fukuda may look like a typical sushi restaurant, but it's anything but boring. Although you'll be pleased ordering your favorite Asian dish, don't overlook Fukuda's specials, which reflect the availability of the fresh and unique seafood that's delivered three times per week. The restaurant's extensive menu is easy to read; rolls are clearly marked as spicy or containing raw ingredients. Try the Ghost Rider Roll with shrimp, cucumber, pepper tuna, avocado and sweet potato crisps. Noodle and teriyaki dishes are also popular, and the creative cocktail menu includes a cold raspberry saké martini. 

Customers find the prices to be fair, especially for the quality, but frequent happy hour deals make it an even better deal. In addition to an afternoon happy hour that starts at 3 p.m., Fukuda offers a late night reprisal as well as an extended happy hour all evening on weekends. Its clean space is tastefully decorated, and dim lighting makes Fukuda ideal for a casual date or fun night out.

Improve Your Math Skills With These Online Puzzles

February 20, 2014 12:19 pm

If you want to improve your math skills without reviewing flash cards or writing out long division problems, you might enjoy completing online math puzzles. These free websites provide stimulating math puzzles for people of all ages, and they’re so much fun you’ll almost forget that they’re educational.

Ken Ken
Ken Ken is a grid-based math puzzle that is similar to Sudoku. In Ken Ken, players choose a grid size and fill in the numbers from 1 to the size of the grid without repeating a number in any row or column. Some squares are more heavily outlined, and the numbers in these squares must combine to equal the target number in the top corner using a mathematical operation indicated. Ken Ken allows users to use logic and to practice a variety of different math operations.

Mathdoku
The Mathdoku website combines the rules of Sudoku and Ken Ken to create a variety of challenging, entertaining math games. The games come in your choice of 4×4, 6×6, or 8×8 sizes, as well as easy, medium, hard, and no-op skill levels. If you’ve already exhausted most of the Sudoku websites, Mathdoku is an equally fun alternative.
