After work yesterday I was at the train station, just about to board a train home, and I got a phone call from Kuniko saying that she was driving home from work right then, and she offered to pick me up and drive me home. I couldn’t pass up on that offer, especially in the crappy weather we were having, so I did a little shopping at the station and by the time I had finished she was there.
Kuniko suggested stopping at Swaad for dinner on the way home, and it sounded great. As usual, the food was great. The chef came out to chat with us – and we talked about his marsala kofta and he told us how he makes them. He said that he often sweetens the curries that he serves because that seems to be popular with Japanese people, so I asked him to make an authentic version for us the next time we come in. That should be interesting.
It looks like this Friday Antoine and I will meet up in Sannomiya for the first time this year. He suggested a Cuban restaurant that I haven’t been to yet, so it’ll be fun trying something different. The following two Fridays I also have some parties with ex-students, so it looks like it’ll be a busy couple of weeks.
