Tokyo Treats (and Airplane Atrocities)

My first food consumed in Tokyo- ramen with pork broth (and several different forms of pork, I think): heaven in a bowl!

My second meal in Tokyo, the next morning: the freshest sushi around, right outside the Tsukiji Fish Market (it was about 6:45 AM at this point). Just for contrast, my airplane meal for breakfast on the United flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles- yuck! The egg-cheese-form was edible, the sausage was not, and the potato-y thing was good with salt.

More to come! :-)

Eat, Pray, Love moment

Ok, so it's not food-related, but I thought this was beautiful. Enjoy the view off Mt. Fuji.

August Anew

Ok, so maybe no peach encore- I ended up devouring most of them with some type of dairy product, straight up: ricotta with walnuts, creme fraiche with cinnamon, the combinations are endless. :-)
And right now I will have to come up with something from the pantry, since I got back from vacation late on a Sunday, meaning, no farmers' markets. Boo...
But you have something to look forward to: next entry will have a photo or two from my trip to Japan, where I visited my brother in Tokyo for a week. I took plenty of food photos, believe you me... A plus!
