Tamago is Japanese for egg. Not sure about the recipe for sweet egg though.

all i know is that I went to this resturant called Myako (in houston tx) and they had it...it had the texture of a custard and it was sweet.

no need to feel stupid, but i think you are referring to tamogoyaki, which is a fluffly japanese omelette often made with dashi, mirin, and the like...here's an example:

the way they do it in sushi with the seaseme seeds wrapped in seaweed is good

Now im not sure if they have this in Japan but one of my dads coworkers gave me this snack food which was just dried seaweed...it was very very this and crumbled almost as soon as you pick it up. There was like 50 sheets in a package and only had like 10 calories in each package....man i loved it

i usually don't eat unagi like that, to be honest...i usually eat unagi atop rice with sauce like so:

Yummy pics AND clips, Toshi-kun!

I've just come back from Hooters with a couple of girlfriends. I ordered a delicious fried cheese with curly fries, yummy buffalo shrimp, and MEGA yummy wings. :drooling: I'm full, but just reminding myself of the meal makes me drool all over again.

You got that right. :mrgreen:

Actually, I was sorta peeved when I was there, because this one dude asked us if we were lesbians. What's wrong with women going out together to Hooters? Suddenly that makes us lesbians? :shakehead:

Back on topic: My brother & his wife travelled 20 miles to get me some ice cream that wasn't available on this side of the island.

Häagen-Dazs Sticky Toffee Pudding

Absolutely delicious and everyone must try this if they love toffee or caramel. This is described as "creamy vanilla ice cream with chunks of moist brown sugary cake with swirls of gooey toffee sauce." :drooling:

Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns

Described as "Caramel Ice Cream with Cinnamon Bun Dough & a Caramel Streusel Swirl." The chunks of dough are hard and very cinnamony. I didn't like this as much as the STP, but it's still decent.
