Last night Miss Kageyama and I tried a variation on the old dinner and a movie thing that we’ve been doing for the last few months. This time she came over and brought a DVD and we cooked up dinner together. <\/p>\n
The movie was “Meet The Parents”, which was good for some laughs, and dinner was shrimp tacos. I bought lots of shrimp at the store and peeled them this morning, so they were ready to go when she arrived. Miss Kageyama sliced up the tomatos and lettuce, and I cooked up tortillas and the shrimp. We combined the ingredients and then put on some hot sauce from my vast selection of deadly bottled heat. I went with the Crystal Extra Hot and the Habanero Yucateca, and she went with Tapatio and Guacamaya. With dinner we each had a Negra Modelo, my favorite Mexican beer that I found in the Carrefour store. After dinner we had Tim Tams for dessert – a cookie that I discovered while visiting Australia. <\/p>\n
Afterwards we watched the movie on my computer, and it played the Japanese subtitles perfectly, so it was just fine.<\/p>\n
Today it was raining when I woke up, so my big plan to go hiking got cancelled. The good news is that I don’t have to walk to work in the rain, so I’ve got to look at the bright side. I’m kicking around some ideas, but the safest bet (and cheapest) may be to do a load or two of laundry and study Japanese here at home. Besides, I’ve got some great leftovers that I’ll get to enjoy today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
