A walk to a cafe rendered us helpless the rest of the day. It didn’t help there was no room at the cafe so we had to come back later, and by later we didn’t want coffee, we wanted fruit smoothies.
We made (by me I mean mostly Kaori) split-pea soup for dinner. Afterwards, we took the train to Fukui to see Miki perform.
I ate this, egg-coated ketchup rice:
(about as weird as it sounds)
and these yummy little ice-creams:
Her performance went until exactly 9:38... the time of the return-train we wanted to catch, so we had to wait until 10:38. It was cold and we were exhausted.
So the next day was a relaxing day. We went to A-Plaza (mall-type store) to get coffee, bread, cheese, and other essential breakfast items, and had a lovely brunch.
We watched movies, did yoga, and ate sandwiches for dinner. Since there are no streaming services available in Japan (...seriously, none...) we are soon to run out of options. For movies, not sandwiches.
What the heck? I can't even begin to imagine what egg coated ketchup rice is.
ReplyDeleteJust try it, Rich. It's the only way to find out.
DeleteYou know, as soon as I posted that I ran out to Smith's, Walmart, Costco, Target, Dan's, and Macey's, but they were ALL out of egg coated ketchup rice! Not only that, (and you're not gonna believe this part) but none of the employees could tell me when they'd be getting more in! So I guess I'll just have to keep checking.
DeleteI can't believe it. What happened to consumer satisfaction? The world has gone mad. I guess you'll have to come to Japan to try it.
DeleteI suppose that could be arranged ;)
DeleteI don't really want to imagine how egg coated ketchup rice Tastes!
ReplyDeleteActually I probably was wrong. It's egg coated in catsup. Ketchup would probably be better.
DeleteAnd here I thought catsup was just a pretentious way of saying ketchup…
DeleteSo what is catsup, exactly?
It seems to me 'Ketchup' means Heinz. Catsup is everything else.
DeleteI looked it up. Catsup is primarily used in the South and can sometimes be a little spicier. But they're basically synonyms.
Deletebut the pinos look very yummy.
ReplyDeleteAnd fun to eat too. One minute there are 6, the next.....
DeleteI'd eat the bon bon ice cream.....
ReplyDeleteWe know you'll survive in Japan then!
