I am very, very full. Today has been rather a culinary education/marathon. This afternoon Kumi came round to teach me some cooking, Japanese style. Firstly we went to the good ol' supermarket to buy some groceries. This was great for three reasons, one Kumi's great company (she picked on a linguistic idiosyncracy I'd previously been blissfully unaware - I now know I say 'oi, oi, oi' when alarmed/suprised - and we both spent some time laughing hysterically as I walked into a sign, almost ran into/over several small children, almost dropped some vegetables, you get the idea); second she can read the signs, so for the first time I actually was sure of what I was buying, and third, she put loads of stuff in my trolley that I hadn't the faintest idea what to do with before today. Blinding.
After cooking said ingrediants (yum, yum) I hot footed it round to Mike and Miyuki's to teach her some Italian cooking (I learnt some Japanese stuff off her the other week and have been happily cooking it since). Brilliant fun, though now I'm pretty fatigued after effectively 7 straight hours of food related shinanigans...
In other news, finished knitting my socks today (1 project down, 2 more to finish). The closure is really nice, after several years of doing everything at once I'm getting finished projects!!! Love it. I even did Luke's birthday present (for March.... 2005). Jack, yours is next mate, after my other loose ends are tied up (or cast off.....)
Also, good vibes your way Jack - last exam tomorrow. Gambatte!
