Food Heaven

I have to admit that maintaining a blog can sometimes be difficult. Not that there is a lack of time, but  admittedly I'm just a lazy person haha. However, I will try to back track things when I can. The magic of the iPhone is that not only does it tell you when every picture was taken, but also the date it was taken. My memory cannot handle things like dates and time... or even what I've done. Curse you goldfish memory!!! Today, I the cooking adventure continues. I made some yakisoba using these fairly awful sausages. I went shopping not too long and and I bought some sausages that were roughly the same price as the ones I normally buy, however the bag was twice the size! Also, Twice the disappointment... Luckily for me, the flavours inherently in yakisoba overpowered the "cheap meat" taste and allowed a pretty decent meal. That paired with some Korean radish soup (무국) and a nice meal was set.

After this meal it was straight into round two of the at home foodie fest! The great thing about Japan (or maybe its a Kamogawa thing?) is that you can easily acquire cheap and delicious fish that is perfect for sushi! The slice of salmon I bought cost about 300円 (roughly $2.50) and was transformed into 16 pieces of salmon nigiri. This could've easily cost about $32 back home. Some cuts come out imperfect, but thats what salmon ochazuke (rice with green tea and salmon) is for. I had went shopping that day and bought so many different foods, but the problem was that I also wanted to eat them all as well. So I ended up cooking everything and eating it all >_< #fattylife. The lemon parsley sausages on a bed of onions were so good and assisted with the ingestion of an entire onion...lol. Pizza toast wasn't necessary, but how could I say know to pizza that is already made and literally takes 3 minutes in the toaster oven!? The pizza toast was so cheap too at a rate of 200円 for 4 pieces (although I'd have to admit that the 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of pepperoni-shaped ham was not too exciting).

Although I was supposed to sleep early because I am to meet the mayor of Kamogawa tomorrow (which is a huge deal!), I couldn't help but stay awake and gain 3kg...
