Dinner and food planning

Made apricot chicken for dinner tonight. It turned out well, but I cheated using a Masterfoods "apricot chicken" base.  So, almost foolproof!  I'm ok with that, I have no problems cheating when cooking, especially for dinner on a weekday, where all I want to do is eat tasty food as soon as possible.  Life is too short to waste stomach space on average/uninspiring food.  Too many things to eat in the world, not enough stomach space.

Very excited about returning to Japan, and most of that excitement is about the food! Have started making a list of things to do/see, but I also want to make a list of things to eat! Starting now:

- Chawanmushi
- Takoyaki
- Sushi/sashimi
- Eel
- Taiyaki (fish waffles)
- Katsu-curry
- Cold soba noodles
- Yakitori
- Kaiseki
- Onigiri
- Ramen
- Gyu-don
- Tempura
- Omelette
- Bento boxes
- Green tea icecream
- Daifuku.

Bring it on, Japan, bring it on!
