oyceterWow, I feel like it's been a while since I wrote up a food post.
Food highlights of last week include meeting up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cofax7, laurashapiro and other people not on LJ, watching Buffy S7 (alas, the beginning of the long slogging part). Everyone brought food, mostly lots and lots of cheese and bread (yay!). One person made a Moroccan pie with filo dough and butter and chicken and spices and OMG it was so good except I don't remember the name of it. But it was tasty! And I brought over heirlooms (I cannot believe there are still heirlooms at the market), bread, praline spread, and jonquil's marvelous raspberry jam, which everyone agreed was quite divine.
At work, I discovered the joys of Hershey's Special Dark Truffles, which while not being fancy and Swiss are still very good. I also discovered that eating approximately five in a row makes me slightly sick to the stomach. On the other hand, this didn't prevent me from doing the exact same thing the next day. Truffles trump learning curve?
Today, I went to a little sushi/izakaya place with excellent sushi and izakaya food (rachelmanija, I will take you there next time you are in the area! You will like it!), in which I had kabocha croquettes, yaki onigiri, assorted sushi, roasted gingko nuts still in cracked and salted shells (really good), kimchi tofu soup, and something called age mochi. It's basically agedashi tofu, except with sticky rice instead of the tofu, and it's hot and flavorful and sticky and chewy and so good! I was quite happy.
Unfortunately, I seem to be getting sick (again), so my nose isn't working so well. Otherwise, I would probably be raving about the food even more than I am now.

Thu, Nov. 23rd, 2006 02:58 am (UTC)The work I (well, all three of us ^^) do for Shadow is a series of editing/smoothing passes on her translation, with very minimal changes. This is kinda interesting to me because I've started thinking more in terms of adaptation, which is definitely not what I'm doing here; it's fun comparing what I'm doing with what I'd do if I were making more significant changes. Even if it's only in my head, I like the exercise. [/tangent]
