Your body just needs a real good rest and a detox sometimes. Take care. Good to see you update again :) I know what you mean about ‘recuperating’.

I bought premixed grains from Korea. The mix has glutinous brown and white rice with a small amount of red beans, barley and a few other things. The grain mixture had a pretty pinkish tint (from the beans) and it had a sticky texture. The taste was quite nice, a bit nuttier than plain rice. I even tried it in maki rolls. It was surprisingly good with seasoned vinegar, and the right filling. But only worked with some things .. not really a replacement for good ol' white sushi rice. What does tororo taste like? I've seen it in the market..and wondered. Your tamagoyaki look perfect. Seems like you don't need the pan. :) Funny, I’ve been experimenting with mixed grains, as well.

It's been years since I was in London, but, unless something's changed, I can't say I blame you. ; p I never went to Chinatown in London... but I grew up in San Francisco, CA, which has a big Chinatown, with a very different feel from the one in Philly (my current home) or NYC. Jennifer I'm enjoying your travel stories immensely! It IS amusing that you ended up in Chinatown for your first meal!

I think we never know how our apartment smells until we part with it. My previous apartment smelled more like my roommate than myself, because he always liked to use scents. And no, I didn't keep the food package (a lame attempt to stop clutter from building up in my apartment).

I kept picturing photos I have yet to develop (it's a strange feeling <i>imagining</i> if your photos flopped or not). & while for him, traveling is a regular part of his work, the novelty has far from worn off for me so traveling feels like going to Disneyland, only with less ice-cream and nostalgia. <i>“Hmm, so that’s the smell of my apartment!”</i> I giggled. I've wondered this so many tmes ^-^* Did you keep the food package? It's darling :) Reading this gave me flashbacks to the many homecomings we give my father at the airport.
