Le Weekend
This weekend will be hectic and fun! Tonight I will spend time long-overdue-with Michelle and Mhairi. We will eat, chat and watch movies!Tomorrow AM I will head back up the FujiQ line towards the new station in order to watch my school concert at Tsuru Uis Hall. They keep on checking that I will come and have given me tickets, so I will go for defo.
I just spoke to Akiyama sense. He is a very cool English teacher/head of the orchestra] who is amazing on the sax. I now have instructions on how to get there, so am sorted.
I also settled plans with Yuriko who just mailed. She has an agenda for the whole of Sunday including shopping for the ingredients for special Doll's Festival foods,cooking the stuff together, going to Ayuko's [my singing teacher/Etsuko's daughter] concert and back to hers for eating...should be nice.
Yata! I just got my month 3 test back and was expecting it to be void because the stamp date would not be on time..but surprisingly it was cool.
It will be nice to enjoy home-cooked food again. Or NICE home cooked food. After all that excitement about recreating that Pad Thai, last night's attempt was a disaster. The sauce was fine even though I OD'd on nuts, but rather than listening to my instincts, I used some noodles, foreign to my knowledge. They were these white ones, that I now remember my Mum uses to make this delicious Indian sweet dish called 'Sev'. We call them 'glass noodles'. OH I so wished I had stuck to the normal Yaki-soba noodles I usually use and like.
Tuesday evening was tantalising however. Me and my friend Kaori went to Tomo [Yeh I know! Again!]. It was relaxing, we ate lots and chatted for what ended up being almost 4 hours, when she had to leave quickly like Cinderella to catch the train. Incidentally Etsuko was there too with her friends. Gosh, it's a small town!
Wednesday afternoon, I took Sarah around some shops including Daiei, and then we ate and talked. Adagios and Tomo [not that I wanted the same twice in a row] were closed so we went to Mustaccios. This place is okay, but we had no other option in terms of eating near the station. So we went there, really hungry by this stage. I am pleased to say that the basil, mozzarella Margarita and garlic toast followed by a couple of tiny squares of tiramasu and chocolate cheese cake exceeded my expectations. Another fun but late night.
I am currently eating Ume my student Haruka gave me.[Ume is Japanese plum, salty and sour. I love shiso ume onigiri-plum rice triangle.] It was a part of this goody bag she made for me of Japanese snacks. Yoshioka and Ayu sensei both laughed and refused when I offered them some! How very un-Japanese hahah!
