Tokyo, Mon Amour Pt. V - T.G.I.F.

Friday April 7, 2006

Breakfast
Medium bowl of German granola

Lunch
Japanese set lunch - ginger-grilled pork over grilled onions, small side letuce salad with cherry tomatos, white rice (1.5 servings), miso soup, tiny portion of sesame-mayonaise covered bean sprouts, tiny portion of odd green-bean-like vegetable, and bright orange and purple pickled vegetables (tsukemono)
Coffee

(Note: For 1050 yen, the Japanese set will always be infinitely less food than you would get at the Indian or Turkish buffets. But everyone agreed that after a week of gorging, the Japanese lunch was a nice touch.)

Dinner
Wendy's double-cheeseburger, fries, "cola" (I think they gave me Diet Pepsi. Yuck.)
