Not so delicious + yummy!

Today we went to an Italian restaurant in Takezono that had been recommended by a few of my friends. We had the set pasta lunch, and I'm sorry to say, that it wasn't really very good.

The pasta was a little overcooked and the sauce was something you could probably do at home by yourself. (Shrimp and chopped shiso leaves, in a salty broth base.)

The bread was interesting. The menu said handmade foccacia. It was light and fluffy, but had quite a strong yeast taste.

I guess we won't go there again, though the service was nice. Finally the waitress who I paid at the register said 'Thank you and we're waiting to see you again'. Sorry!

On the other hand, check out my late afternoon snack. Yum! It is sliced processed cheese sandwiched between a sheet of nori (dried laver sheet). Nori is the dried seaweed that is wrapped around sushi.

You might think it is weird to combine cheese and nori, but try it - it is actually very good! The tastes blend well and the soft texture of the cheese and crisp nori harmonize perfectly. You should eat it quickly and don't let the nori become soggy.

I don't know if anyone else eats this. I thought it up by myself :)
