Affairs of the heart…

publicdefender,

So true. People forget that humans have been “civilized” for less than 1% of our existence on this planet. 99% of our genetic wiring still remains from our hunting and gathering days. We’re just beasts with computers in nicer clothes and cars. Many people like to convince themselves that they are “above the (inherited evolutionary) fray.” Personally, I have no illusions regarding the true (inherited evolutionary) nature of humanity – which is neither good nor bad, but rather just “is.” I find it liberating to accept and embrace human flaws – life’s a lot more fun and far less disappointing.

I’m not half-Japanese but I lived there for 5 years (4 years of school and 1 year of work). Sushi is my favorite food but I would never taint its image by trying to make it myself… I let Mr. Ota do that (I have a standing reservation in front of Sushi Ota’s Mr. Ota every month). BTW, good sushi chefs are well-trained to detect potential parasites in raw fish, so it’s better to let them pick it. Mr. Ota isn’t the most traditional sushi chef but he’s a true master and has an incredible sense of what goes well together (things I would never think of).

I can prepare the simpler Japanese dishes: oyako-don and other donburi style dishes, tempura, zaru soba, etc. basic survival skills. My culinary taste is 100% Japanese.

I’m not making any accusations but it has crossed my mind that maybe you’re being nice to me because Condogrrl is also being nice to me… 🙂 Am I a pawn? If not then maybe I really am way too jaded!

Of course you’re a pawn. I’m the spider and you’re the fly…;)

Dude, I’m nice to everybody. Haven’t you noticed? Anyway, I love donburi (beef) haven’t tired chicken as I don’t eat much chicken (not crazy about the taste and texture). I love beef tempura, but I do eat chicken tempura as long as it’s boneless breast meat.

My favorite is the shabu-shabu. I like the sweet dipping sauce as opposed to the dipping sauce made with mayonnaise.

In regards to my topic, judging from some posts, I’m now wondering if chivalry is dead…;)

P.S. Nost, I meant beef “teriyaki”. I also love shrimp and vegetable tempura as I love seafood in general(with sweet dipping sauce).

Marion –

Who said I was bragging about being in a relationship? I wasn’t – was just stating a fact. I did so because I anticipated you would accuse me of being jealous of you or unable to get a date, like you previously did with condogrll when she had the audacity to criticize you and disagree w/your approach. Not exactly what I would call a progressive approach!

and, BTW, it was CBad who called you an attention whore – not condogrll.

Funny how you don’t even address the men who have “critiqued” your ways…
