Kani-nabe.. nan dattebayo?!

"Kani-nabe may be tasty, but there is nothing primal about it. Cool ingredients become hot. Green things wilt. The broth, a simple tincture of water and kombu seaweed, darkens and becomes infused with the punchy aroma of boiled crab shells. Glass noodles soften, slither and collapse into themselves. The broth is whisked away to the kitchen at the end of the meal, thickened with cooked rice, and returned to the table as a loose, fragrant porridge into which the waiter beats a single raw egg."

My own little terrorist rambled on about that one day after showering. She loves food and is proud of her tastes and knowledge.

These days all I get is Orianna asking me if I want to have "sooooup" with her. :-( Good thing it wasn't mechoui - "BBQ"!?

Or another date dismissing Sakura House - Caro's favorite restaurant here - as "interesting." :-(



Back to the beginning.
