Weekend Food Extravaganza!

So much for coming home fit! This weekend was filled with fatty and sugary sweet foods that were SO FINE, but maybe not so healthy.

First, I finally finished some curry that I had made early in the week. I, for the first time in a long time, made enough food for 4 people. I was eating this curry alllll week, and I was happy to finish it off. Japanese curry is a lot sweeter than other curries. It's made with tomato sauce and sugar, and includes things like potatoes, onions, beef, and carrots. I made mine with chicken.

Next, X and I went to visit KG this weekend, and she brought us to this FAB dessert shop, where we all got not one but *2* desserts! First, I couldn't resist this cute little bear dish of choco mousse. It was delicious, and had the texture of marshmallow creme, so that was another plus. Next, we all got a slice of ichigo (strawberry) tart. KG had brought this on one of our karaoke trips once, and we were dying to have more. If I remember correctly, the time we had it at karaoke we forgot silverware and so we devoured it with our hands. Nice.

Next, and the best meal of the weekend, was, of course, yakiniku. But this wasn't just any yakiniku, oh no. This was a 90 minute tabehoudai (all-of-can-eat) explosion of beef, pork, tongue, organs, and veggies. And it was AMAZING. My JTE found this great place and we went Saturday night. This was the STARTING plate of beef:This was for TWO people!! There was a little pork on the plate, but we also had an additional plate of pork. We barely got through this starting plate of beef and the tongue. We finished before our 90 minutes and we never did order another plate, but we both agreed it was for the best. I was SOOO full and it was sooo good! I'm going to miss yakiniku the most.

Lastly, on Sunday, X and I went to Aeon and we decided to have some Starbucks and listen to the karaoke contest going on in the atrium before shopping. So I got up to the counter and they had put out their summer drinks!! I was so happy! I got a mango frappacino, which was really good. I was also happy to see they brought back their lemon scone, which I also got, which was also delicious. Maybe I will have to make more SB runs in the future...just not in the mornings.....

Well, that's about it! I'd say a pretty full weekend! Hopefully I can rein myself in a little in the future.
