    I ate at taco bell today! (Havent eatan there in years)

    I had 3 yummy tacos with a large pepsi :)

    I like the MILD sauce... Anything hotter is too much for me.. In the 80s thier sauces werent as bad as I could stand HOT but now that is too much...

    I always get EXTRA MEAT in them :)

    I miss Mexico...

    Some ultra popular local yuppie riverside bar and grill that we got a gift card to.

    I got a 1/4 pound $15.00 "special" hamburger that was terrible. It came with a tiny cup of potato salad which was just potatoes and mayonnaise and also terrible. I didn't eat the whole hamburger or potato salad.
    Never going there again.

    Kansai or Osaka. What defines the Hiroshima version is the noodles, right? Yeah, they also do a yakisoba sando kind of thing. Maybe it's just my uncultured Western palate, but noodles in between bready things seems like carb overload. But with the pork belly and scallion and ginger and stuff? Mmmmmmm yas please!

    Not just the noodles. Also, that Hiroshima style is layered, rather than mixing everything together before cooking. I like them both, but I find the layered version a little more flavorful, you can taste each item.
    Yeah, the Yakisoba pan is a bit of a car overload. But then I think of sitting down to an Italian meal with Spaghetti and meat balls with Garlic bread and it doesn't seem so weird anymore.
    I do like the Rice bowls on occasion. but I shy away from Yoshinoya. I prefer a hand made Donburi over fast food bowl. The Katsu or the Oyakodon are my usual choices.

    Katsu don is damn good too. When I first moved out on my own, I ended up moving into a neighborhood that was predominantly Asian immigrants. I was right between a Vietnamese and a Japanese restaurant, both in walking distance.

    At the time, I could hardly boil water, so I ate out a lot. The Vietnamese place was very good, but the owners at the Japanese place were so friendly that I ended up eating there 3-4 nights a week. I had everything on the menu multiple times.

    They closed down and I tried to make the same foods at home. I guess I did okay for a white girl, but it's nowhere near as good.

    I can barely make an Onigiri on my own. I'm a good cook, when it comes to cuisine I grew up with, but I'm no good with Japanese food.
    Back in the 90's I lived a block from a small Japanese place. The owner sold everything he had and came to the US from Asakusa and opened the small restaurant.
    He had a contest that was on going. He'd post your picture on the wall if you could finish whatever the special of the day was. I got his giant bowl of Tempura Udon. I had been a bit of a Japanophile already, so he was surprised when I slurped the noodles, loudly. I did finish and got my picture up on the wall. It was a running joke every time I went in that I was secretly Japanese and wouldn't tell him :D He was one of the nicest guy I'd ever met.

    It's time for ciao! One that I've been thinking about lately is Panda! I think Panda is really romantic! But my favorite usually is sushi. As for the last place it was a mediterranean place that makes me feel good about my religion. :)

    I used to love Zoo Zoos in Eugene back when they were over on that tiny block at an intersection. It was totally vegan back in the 70s. Afterwards, it seemed to be a lesbian cooperative. They had the best veggie food back in the day. I got to try out new things like tempeh and mochi. I remember they had some Japanese dude working there who made the mochi.

    I would always stop at Zoo Zoos on my way to Genesis Juice co-op, where I worked as marketing director.

    What was The Morning Glory before? I recognize the building. Was it the Solstice Bakery?

    I cannot remember the last time we visited a restaurant, it was probably 30 years ago.
    Jane and both our daughters are great cooks, I also cook the occasional meal myself.

    Eating out costs a fortune, while many restaurants still reheat in the microwave and vegetables have been sitting in warm water for upto an hour.
    Eating at home, we can all enjoy the wine, without worrying about who is going to drive, or sharing the train with a few drunks.

    In a world survey of eating out, London would be lucky to even get a mention.

    I forgot to mention that we were owed eleven cents to be returned to us after paying our bill. I know eleven cents isn't much but they did not give us any change and did not ask if we wanted to "round up or down", whatever, they just kept the extra money without a word.
    Multiply that by the number of customers they each year.

    So I took back a dollar from the tip.
