I took this picture ages ago. I always had a soft spot for it. I love the impossibility of it, but of course, it is possible. (My skills with Photoshop are not this good.) Maybe you like the pic, maybe not. But no matter what your opinion regarding the photographic merits of the previous picture, I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who could disagree with this...
I mean...come on...beer and yakiniku! Who doesn't want to get down with that? If you don't, maybe we can't be friends. My girl & I had a reason to celebrate last weekend so we went to:
It has to be one of our favorite place to eat cow. We went there for an early dinner on Sunday and had the whole place to ourselves. And let me tell you boy....was it tasty. By pure chance, while we were eating, we got news that my girl's mom was sending us some steak from Osaka. Crazy beef celebrations! We got it on Tuesday and cooked that sh*t up!
And it was mouth-wateringly good. Like caramel; you want to have it kind of melt in your and linger in your mouth. The pic above was just one cut off that hunk of beef. I think there are about 7 more cuts of the same size. We will be eating like a Texan for quite a while over here in Tokyo. And just to finish out this beef extravaganza, we had some nice burgers today.
That one was my girl's avocado burger. I had me this mammoth thing.
Yes, that that little tiny green thing fighting for it's life against the never ending sprawl of beef, cheese, and grease is asparagus. It was a pleasant little addition to the monster burger. We ate at the outdoor cafe on the 3rd floor of the Journal-Standard shop in Shinjuku. It was a great day and a great burger. I was a bit stuffed after though. I need to get my exercise on.
Lastly, this friendly looking guy will serve as a announcement that things are changing over here. I want to post more often, and I want to do it a little bit at a time. So, instead of a monster post once a week (or once every six months) I want to give you little tidbits more often. We shall see how it goes.
Later
