definitely some cool cats on that team, and it's great music to clean your house to.
I fell in love with the terrific attention to detail and the turn of phrase that the translation from Japanese to English often brought. I studied Mandarin in college but that sure didn't help me here...
Everything looked bright and new to me. I brought back so many little presents.
The food was, bar none, my favorite of the world, even down to the crazy convenience store eggs, cooked EXACTLY like I like them, I can't wait to go back.
is my visa still good?
to the person who tells me their favorite food of the world, in the comments, I will send this little Japanese note pad, which includes this quote of perfection:
How many do you know the beautiful language which conveys a feeling?
tomorrow: item #20 will be from HOUSE ON THE ROCK, for all my fellow American Gods fans....stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteI have too many foods that I like to just choose one, but I do enjoy sushi whenever I can get it! : )
ReplyDeleteCornish pasties from Cornwall, and Devon cream tea for dessert. Deeeeeeeeeeeeelish!
ReplyDeleteThere's a rice dumpling that's traditional for Chinese festivals. I was in China during the Dragon Boat festival one year and the factory I was inspecting had its own kitchens and cooks to feed all the workers. The day before the festival started, we were invited to come to the kitchens for dumplings. The cooks taught us how to bend banana leaves into a triangle/pyramid shape to fill with rice, egg, veggies, and other yummy fillings. The banana leaf gets tied shut with twine and the whole "packet" gets roasted. When it's ready, cut the twine and devour!
ReplyDeleteThe wonderful, welcoming brown bread served in every B&B in Ireland. I've made at least thirty different recipes since and can't replicate it. I think it needs to be made *there*.
