ParticipantShabu shabu! That’s a fun thing to eat with friends. It literally translates as “swish swish” because of the swishing sound made when you swish the food through the boiling water… Man I haven’t had that since I was in Japan and not many places in SD serve it! There are other things you can’t find around either: Okonomiyaki, steaming amazake on a cold night, or a nice, hot bowl of oden! I’m doing that thing Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) did when he was going pfffff–fff-f-f-fff lecherously.
OK. As soon as I get back to SAN from DEN I will need to book a flight to NRT.
ParticipantI’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!

ParticipantYeah, looks like. I tend to do that sometimes. I'll try to be good.
Nice Marion! BTW starting a thread that has lasted 4+ pages is a feat in itself… I sometimes post topics which I think are interesting, only to have them fall off the list in about 5 minutes… "Affairs of the heart" has been in the top 3 active forum topics for what, two days now? Has 4 pages? Wow! You've really touched on something here.

ParticipantWhoa! To think I was beginning to believe things were getting boring up in here.
Condogrrl, she’s a mixed-up mutt (my dog that is) of Pinscher, Jack Russel, and Chihuahua. Sounds weird but she’s pretty cool lookin’ and not yappy at all. Her name is Buena (an homage to her Chihuahua-ness).
Rusti, wow, I don’t know what’s going on but it’s weird that we seem to have a lot in common. You said you were 38 when you found your lovely wife, I’m 37 now and still looking… I speak Spanish (but am a white American) and Japanese. I went to Guatemala 3 times and took 3 months of intensive language and dance lessons there (I really took to the language, not the dancing sadly but it’s a great workout). If I had a yard I’d have a golden retriever (or maybe a German shepherd) but alas I’m in a condo and want the dog to have a good range for her size. See what happens when you let me talk about myself? I take over and just go on and on like some sort of narcissistic loud-mouth. You were smart to back out of this thread, I’m not as smart so:
Marion, please take a deep breath. Others posted things that were actually based on their take of what you had posted about yourself. That’s what blogs are for, these people don’t know you and are only giving their input based on what they’ve read. To out-of-thin-air call them bony-fingered whores (LOL) looks like you’ve cracked. What is there to crack about here? It’s just a blog and is only as personal as you let it be.
