The Usual Weekend Update

Friday night I went out with some students for all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu and all-you-can-drink alcohol. As you might expect, we over-indulged in just about everything… beef, pork, and even all-you-can-eat crab. The crab was the first time for me – usually you have to pay by the amount you eat, so this time it was damn the torpedoes and go for it.

After dinner we went over to the New York for some cocktails. There was a little problem when I asked the waitress which Laphroaig they had behind the bar, and I ended up just getting a glass which turned out to be a pretty nice one. Before I realized my students had split up the big bill, and unfortunately everyone had to share the price on the bill. So, next time I’m buying.

Saturday and Sunday were pretty mellow. Saturday I stayed home and cleaned house, cooked Thai food for dinner and Sunday I took a short hike from Okubo to Akashi, and then came back and barbecued pork and onions to go with a salad for dinner. Both days Kuniko was working, so she is a very tired worker this morning. Today she’s got another big day at work, but Tuesday she has the afternoon off.

I’ve got a big day – more on that later – but this week should be a pretty normal week. Next weekend is also a big one – two parties at our house, both of them will be Mexican food so that is something to look forward to. We haven’t had Mexican in almost a month…
