Zats Burgers – apparently where burgers (in Japan) began.
Wednesday (29th) was ShÅwa Day (since 2007) – a day to reflect on the events of the ShÅwa period. To most people this means staying home. Or more precisely: not going to work. To me and Masami this meant a bakeoff, perhaps reflecting and honoring all the butter brought in since.
Spinachwaffle with salmon and sourcream for brunch.
Chocolatewaffle for brun…ssert.
Tacos for dinner. Cheese, of course.
Bananapie for dessert.
Gyouza today. How do you know it’s made by a barbaric foreigner? Because he, I, serve it with sallad.
We pot-heads had some nabe on Tuesday. To those who doesn’t know what nabe is, it’s any ol’ big pot, usually filled over and over with meat, tofu, veggies, mushrooms and perhaps some fat noodles called udon.
The nabe was over at my friend Tsubasas place, who’s toilet I think (by the way) looks troubled.
Also had some “Kaki”. Which we absolutely had to look up in the dictionary. “Japanese peach” is what I would call a Kaki. Looks like an orange tomato though. Practice makes perfect.
Friday night, grilling some tasties at Tamabi. That’s right; grilling right on campus. There were sweet potatoes, Eringi (mushrooms) and not yet done meatballs. We did all this around the the clubhouse area.
Got a load of work to do these coming few weekends so I won’t be writing much about the grilling of the goods, for now, other then that it was sweet.
This is Japanese ramen, Kyuushuu style. Yes, the meat floating so harmoniously is pig of course. Also featured in the bowl is seaweed strings, garlic, sesame-seeds and some other stuff that I’ve yet to learn the English/Swedish word for. And that little bowl of spicy vegetables? 
That’s from some self-service buckets on the table. At lunchtime this set comes accompanied by a plate of mini-dumplings and a complimentary bowl of rice topped with cod-roe.
See, this is what we are missing in Sweden; 5 meals in one.
