> Green teaOh, that's so not a 10 or anything close when you're seriously hungover from Japanese wine and brandy. So hungover that you vomit up the water from the tylenol you took and then you vomit up the capsules. Still, I did manage to change into the bathroom slippers appropriately, so I had some modicum of coherence. But keep that stuff away from me! Thank god for Deca-vita (sp?) in vending machines at the train station.

I've heard about sake hangovers, though I've not had one. As you mention, we also tried the hot plum wine. Naturally I have allergies and stick to spirits, having bought some fine Glenmorangie going into Japan.
Japanese train stations filled me with wonder. The people don't use their mobile phones on the trains, we saw kids who seemd about 5 travelling unaccompanied, and even a blind man who was met at the carriage by a station attendant (they employ people!). Near Kanazawa I bought some food off a trolley. It was a huge sushi in a bamboo box and wrapped in some leaves, a round cake of it about 8 inches in diameter with salmon on top for something like $10.
We used to have public transport here but as climate change and the energy costs have become problematic we have embraced private car ownership.
At least we have the pleasures of pessimism.

Now I'd have to pass on that given Nardil. Actually, I'd have had to pass on the brandy, too. I didn't try saki. It was the brandy following the wine, I think. Oh, and did I mention the regional specialty? We had it for dinner with sashimi and other stuff that I was not used to. It was horsemeat. Bleah bleah bleah. Thank god they gave you a terracotta cooker-thingy for it. No way would I eat that raw. Cooked was bad enough. But you get hungry there for some reason. ;)

Tasty, though I forget just what we got. I loved the octopus balls, though. Mmmm, mmmm. The train home from Aso to Tokyo, about 10 hours on that hangover was unpleasant at least at first. But I agree, there system has a lot of positives compared to my actually more limited experience with American train systems. I'll let you know after my upcoming Alaska trip how they compare. At least I know there will be Western toilets. Standing and swaying with the train motion over a hole in the floor is a bit difficult for those of us who are unused to peeing while standing.

mmm huevos rancheros. Reminds me of brunch at my favorite brunch spot. They had green tomato-jalapeno bloody mary's INtenSe. YuM!
I enjoyed several cooking lessons when I was in Japan- the most memorable being Okono-mi-Yaki- a savory omelette/pancake thing made with shredded cabbage, and garnished with that rich Japanese mayo, a couple of dried shrimp, and okono-mi-yaki sauce, which is vaguely like a smoky sweet ketchup. Tako-yaki (the aforementioned octopus balls) are a near cousin.
As far as the breakfast goes, I found that our adopted stray cat was awfully fond of it. My mom insisted upon making Japanese breakfast every morning, and I frequently passed this along to "miow" the skinny pregnant cat.
The highlight of my life there was the Haagen-Dazs runs. 8 bucks a pint, and each one of the llurpsiefamily got their own. A nirvana, following yet another kelp dinner.
GG- dad ate the rural specialty- deer sashimi garnished with teriyaki crickets. hmm.

"mmm huevos rancheros. Reminds me of brunch at my favorite brunch spot. They had green tomato-jalapeno bloody mary's INtenSe. YuM!"
i need a "pick-me-up" this morning.
i cannot imagine how good the green tomato/jalapeno bloody mary would taste. i am going to make one tomorrow morning and just get wasted.
i am certain that my animals will be fascinated and appalled seeing their mother staggering around in the garden, talking to the plants and finally falling into the fountain.
i may put my wetsuit on before i go outside...maybe my flippers and mask, clutching my large glass of nirvana and singing "pissing in the wind".
you always make me happy, Ll.

you have good sense? along with making me snort my iced coffee? you are a multi-talented goddess!
let's discuss slimey bananas. i always slip lots of other things in my smoothie to make them less slippery. yoghurt, ice, cantaloupe or mangoes and plenty of flax seed.
it seems obvious to me that God wasn't thinking of the slime factor when he created the banana.
and yes, our minds seem to be slip sliding down the slippery slope of the nasties!
i am going to send you a joke by babblemail. it isn't slimey, just funny.
i haven't laughed this much since i ****ed while my ex was pontificating about his surgical skills! (i didn't think that i could get away with "f*rt" this morning)

I typically like to punctuate conversational pauses with hot air.

maybe it's something in the coffee this am. I'm just silly because it's the first weekend I've had free since Memorial Day, and I was awake at 7am to make it to the starbucks.

"exotic vanilla" and milk with no added hormones or antibiotics....grass fed jerseys.as you age the hot air increases month by month.
after the first year my dogs quit jumping up and looking for the source.

I had miso soup here in my kitchen.....your outing sounds much more exciting....except I don't eat sushi. I would have watched you eat and we could have chattered away. I'm no chatterer, but who knows what could happen over sushi trays?
