So many times do we look at a menu and immediately go for what's safe. Maybe something we've had somewhere else and disregard anything else on the menu. If you're looking for a change, if it's on the menu, try something called oyakudon.
When I was last in Seattle, I saw these creative, interactive candies that resembled a toilet. I had to check these out!
In Japan, there are a variety of candies that have an interactive element to them. Some feature nothing but powders and mixes where, when combined with water, makes an edible paste or cream that you can make to look like an ice cream cone, for instance...
When I was visiting Seattle this past weekend, we had it in mind to find a place that serves ramen. I'm not talking about your 10 packs of dehydrated noodles for a dollar-style ramen, but the real stuff the cheap ramen is inspired by. Naturally, this begged our question: "Why doesn't Yakima have a place to get ramen?"
One of my favorite things to eat on a cold winter's day is something called Udon (pronounced OOO-don). If you're a fan of real ramen, you'll love this. It's just like ramen, but the noodles are super-thick.
