mushmarsh

last night’s *poof* in my head while trying to fall asleep: mushroom and marshmallow tempura

imagine this: (thank you mushroom-uk.com)

made with mini mushrooms.

I don’t know why I thought about this and I was not particularly craving it just imagining. It could work…mushmarsh. Has any one tried deep fried mushrooms?

In case that unsettled your stomach, here is something a little tastier. If we look back a bit more than two weeks we might land on my birthday. It was a Friday and luckily my supervisor had planned an afternoon group party at his place for that day. Him and his wife (a friend whom I’ve enjoyed a number of Japan adventures with) prepared the most delicious feast for (around) 10 of us. We started in the afternoon and I think I finished around 9pm. Given the proximity of my birthday and of the other intern’s, Mayumi made an amazing cheesecake. I have to share a picture….isn’t it fit to be in a magazine?

Closing the party up around 11pm, five of us headed to karaoke and we managed to find material for singing pleasure until 4am. Then I caught the first train home and happily hit the pillow with my head. It was an incredible day and I am so thankful for all the people who I was able to share it with.

Since that day: I sang at another small concert, learned about a small part in the complex world of Japanese comedy, joined a karate club, made plans to take off on an onsen get-away, cancelled those plans, jogged 10km for the first time too painfully slow,…

(oops on review…I guess I mentioned this yesterday in a post I completely forgot about. Did I mention that my hair is turning white and my memory going?)

…made a wicked chicken/egg donburi, hit an izakaya with fellow interns followed by more (you guessed it) karaoke, got a demo accepted at an domestic conference in March, and actually got into an episode of some Japanese drama cause I sort of could understand what was going on.

The next few weeks are dedicated to the launch of operation Get Thesis Done (GTD) and my training for February’s race…what will I wear?? Do you carry your own water? Fanny pack? Should your close be tight fitting and race-star looking? Do I need stripes?

Any stories of personal 10km experiences are much appreciated!!
