Saturday night, 2 am: Tonight I find myself on a major guilt trip- guilty and ashamed of the fact that men can cook better and keep their flats tidier than I can. It was Japanese night at sytzes place. And the food was just unbelievable!! Him and Yoichi spent hours preparing it while we dropped in just in time for dinner with more bottles of wine than necessary. There was miso shiru complete wt the shiitake mushrooms, spinach salad with sesame dressing, cucumber & squid salad, (wakame) seaweed wt vinegar and shoyu, spicy squid rings, nikujyaga, gobo kimpura and what more?? even home made yakitori on sticks!! and those were just the starters... Oh boy! For the main course, we had soba( buckwheat noodles) in a soup with duck. We opened a bottle of Shirotsuru sake and had azuki beans and toasted mocchi for dessert, finishing off with a cup of hot green tea! With Mr. children playing in the background, I felt I was back in Japan and since all of us at the table were either Japanese, spent time in japan or learnt the language out of interest, most of the conversation was in japanese. Tanoshikatta. heehee. Met a funny german who's into computers and cakes. Proud of his baking skills, he showed pictures of his works....and they looked gorgeous!! Yet again, I felt the shame coming over me as he went on about how to make the perfect lemon cake. I dont know shit about baking!! To seem interested, I asked a rather silly question me thinks...sumthing to do with cornflour...I dont even remember what I asked or meant, but I did get a rather long reply which went over my head. How embarassing. Have to google- 'how to bake good' soon.
Got the recipe for tori no karaage though. Will have to try it coz i loove karaage and have almost forgotten what it tastes like. All in all, was a good night unlike friday when I was so bloody upset. Was denied entry coz of wrong ID!! Verry verry pissing off. They just wudnt let me in!! I doubt I look under 18. Buggers!! So I actually had to come back home while the rest went in coz roys band had a gig there. Tried a nice pub in town earlier so I wouldnt call it a completely ruined night. None the less, the whole epsiode, standing in the snow, trying to convince the bouncers was quite mortifying. In the past, when I didnt have any Id on me, they've made a fuss but have almost always let me in. Baaah! Them effin .......
Oh well, let bygones be bygones and so on n so on...tomorrow's gna be a laaazy sunday thats for sure:).
