The Taco Bell Chihuahua? :rofl:

Hehe. :hehe: Too funny. Fortunately he survived but he wasn't too enthusiastic about recommending the truck.

Hey, I got an O-cha question.

Seems my "koito" is studying chanoyu. What would be a good gift for her? Some real high-test green tea? I assume she has nice cups. :naughty: That sounds wrong.... :doh:

^ I think you mean "koibito."

I'm sure high quality tea would be appreciated or perhaps, as you suggested, a nice Japanese chawan (bowl) used in the preparation of the tea...there are quite a few sites that sell these glazed ceramic bowls which are actually made in Japan...the prices differ greatly from fairly inexpensive to 3 digit price tags...just find something you like if you go that route. Googe is your friend. :)

No worries. Good luck. There's a lot of stuff out there. :)

Whew, had a holiday food-fest today... :drooling:

Lunch: my usual sushi hangout, but I had tempura and sashimi instead of the usual sushi... And I had a scoop of green tea ice cream to boot (on the house :victory: )

Dinner: Curry House, but I had something new: una-ju in a (very) hot stone bowl with curry on the side that you pour over the una-ju... Really good. :thumbsup:

Guess they're trying to offer more variety.

They need to work on their waitresses: service was barely adequate. :shakehead:

Yep but not in Sawtelle. They have one in Pasadena and i've eaten there a couple of times. I find that their curry is a lot spicier than Curry House which I like. BUT!!! the tonkatsu breading is poor at that Hurry Curry

I don't usually like my curry too spicy: you can't taste anything else if your tongue is on fire. :sweat:
