La Fiesta – Gero
OK. We did end up with a few things from the Nissin World Delicatessen. Chips, hot salsa, and REAL CHEESE quesadillas. Not the cheapest meal we have ever had, but it was the comfort food we were definitely in need of…
Nissin World Delicatessen
This past weekend, we went to the international super market Nissin World Delicatessen in Tokyo. It is centrally located to a lot of embassies (including the US) so it has all sorts of yummy imported foods from Italy, Russia, Greece, UK, Australia, Central America, and the US.

A dear friend and coworker from WPC passed away on Thursday, and though we cannot be at his service today, we are thinking about him and his family. Joe was the nicest, kindest, most easy-going man I have ever known. If only we were all just a little bit more like Joe, no one would [...]

Limited time OVER
Sad news. My new favorite meal at Joyfull has been discontinued. It was a limited time offer, and I only experienced it once.
Blood types are a big thing
We had noticed that restaurant websites listed the chef’s blood type, but never really thought about it too much. That is until Friday’s dinner when it came up in conversation… From JapanToday.com: “Many Japanese people believe that each blood type has a certain personality and affinity, so it is common for them to ask someone [...]
Friday dinner
