Yup... Quite good. :)

Nice savory bite without blowing the roof out with heat (although I do enjoy spicy foods from time to time).

Yeah, they look like jalapenos, but don't nearly have its kick.

Ramen in Harajuku. Seems I only went to Harajuku to eat this time, instead of shop lol

You got that right. I wish I could have enjoyed more there, but they had quite a quick turn-around. I was probably in there 15 minutes tops.

I had the ramen for lunch. For dinner I had Nabe. :beaten: No wonder I can't lose weight...

Yes, as an artist, Sensei, you have to balance art with life. C'est la vie. ;)

The point of going on vacation is to enjoy yourself, not lose weight. :victory:

Yes, that's my motto. Weight be damned, pass me another beer and chicken skewer.

Yup.

You have the other 50 or so weeks of the year to work out/lose weight/diet... Why worry about that when you're on vacation...?

Yes. Except I'm weak willed and depressed when I return from vacation. Even though my body is no longer on my vacation, but brain still is...and I party like it's 1999 for several weeks thereafter. :beaten:

LOL, yeah there is that post-vacation "jet lag" to deal with. :mrgreen:

You're strumming the lyrics of my life here. :hehe:

:hehe: Your eloquence is humorous! But it's true everytime I come back from vacation, I'm a wreck for a while because it usually takes me a while to dial back the eating and drinking and motivating my a$$ to get back to working out regularly. It's really horrible...but my fault of course. :beaten:

Next time somebody tries to steal that piece of chashu from your ramen, you can beat his a$$ with these Nunchaku chopsticks. Watch my technique!!!! Hiiiiiiya!

Excerpt from Salon article about diabetes epidemic in the Appalachia region.

"Fried beans. Fried peas. Fried corn. gKilledh lettuce and onions in which hot bacon fat is drizzled over leaf lettuce and other greens. These are staples throughout the American South \ and especially in the Appalachian region."

My buddy and I grabbed a quick lunch at fundamental LA in Westwood.

Cold Roast beef sandwich with Pimento cheese, Arugula, Bread & Butter Pickle, and ripe tomato on Brioche bread.
