This weekend will be another couple of parties. \u00a0 Tomorrow we’ll head over to the Fukumi residence for a small party with them, and then on Sunday we’ll host some of Kuniko’s friends for burgers on the grill. \u00a0Most people in Japan have Monday off, but my company has shifted the holiday to another day, which means I’ll have to be ready to be back in action on Monday.<\/p>\n
Tonight we’re going to Costco on the way home to buy some supplies for the parties, but it should be a small bill this time around. \u00a0Mainly we’re there for the hamburger meat – it is 100% US beef. \u00a0At the supermarkets in Japan you can buy 100% Japanese beef but it isn’t practical for hamburgers and has way too much fat content (in my opinion). \u00a0They have a blended mix of pork and beef that is better for burgers, but there is something better tasting about the American ground beef. \u00a0Probably has horsemeat in it or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
