sweet bean paste, batman!

i just have to say that i just had the most fabulous food tonight! i went out with the brady's to chaya, a japanese restaurant in squirrel hill. :) yum. if you want good food - that's where to find it! dan and i shared a sushi and tempura combo dinner (joel and peg shared the same kind), harper had a soup and tempura combo and maggie had eel (i think that's her favorite) and to top it all off i got the most delicious ice cream! of course i can't remember the name for it, but it's the sweet bean paste covered with a rice... uh... i dunno it's rice, though... it's soft, like a marshmallow-y kind of texture with the dense, smooth, soft bean paste on the inside normally. this time there was ice cream in the center that was mixed with the bean paste. it is the most delicious thing i have ever eaten! i'll take that for a bday cake... not that i would turn down cake, tho... or kings has some real yummy sugarfree blueberry pie - very good stuff!

okay, so that was just a long babble about yummy food. i love good food. and good people. the combination of both tonight was wonderful. :) what a great birthday weekend so far!

ps. don't think the sweet bean paste sounds gross... trust me at first i wasn't sure i wanted to taste it (i think i even turned it down the first time... what a mistake!) it sounds odd, but it's very tasty!




take care of you for me
