Nom nom nom
One of the results of having Tobermory's folks over here is that his dad keeps dragging us out to restaurants.
This is, of course, absolutely terrible and I hate it.
...
No, I can't say that with a straight face either. It's fantastic! I have managed to suggest restaurants that I've been wanting to go to but have considered unaffordable, or were actually unaffordable. I have had lovely steak, attempted various sea foods, eaten loads of delicious garlic bread, and probably added about twenty kilograms to my frame*.
Tonight, we went to a Japanese restaurant that Deb recommended... years ago, and I last went to with her and Fuzzy back in 2006. It specialises in "Get lots of things, share them with everyone, eat yourselves silly without spending too much". The waitstaff are all, well, not of European origin, and 70% of the customers place their orders in Japanese**. We cheated; I copied what we wanted off the menu onto my Ipod Touch, and handed the ipod to the waitress when she came over to get the order. She grinned.
We had: nigiri sushi, salmon&avocado sushi, mixed tempura, beef amiyaki, chicken teriyaki, immochi, beinasu miso+cheese, gyoza, miso soup, and plain rice.
Both Tobermory and I are trying to remember why we've not been there before. Because oh man, that was fantastic, I am stuffed to the gills with amazingly good food.
Inlaws (inlaws to be? outlaws?) are useful to have around...
* Actually, I haven't. To my surprise, I'm still losing weight, officially confirmed by the doctor's scales when I had my quarterly check-in-and-babyproofing. Hooray!
** I generally consider that if a lot of the insert-race/culture-here eat at the restaurant claiming to specialise in cuisine of insert-country/culture-here, it's probably pretty good.
