More on Food (Who’d Have Thought?)
Yes, it’s the theme of the past week and it will be the theme for the weeks to come. Deal with it. I’m going through a food phase. Everything is about food here. I read about it, I think about it and I write about it. Blame whatever you want. I just love food and that’s that.
We were invited to dinner at my aunt’s in Cologne, but took off early in the afternoon since we wanted to check out the big Asian food store in Cologne. I bought a lot of basic Japanese ingredients (according to Naomi Moriyamas „Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat“), plus two little soup bowls (the one they usually serve miso soup in) and one heavy mortar. It’s really heavy. We also finally got our rice cooker. I tried it out today for sushi and i’m still enthusiastic. I have never had better rice before. Honestly. And it’s so easy. You just fill in the rice, add some water, close the lid, turn it on and wait until it turns itself off. Easy. And good.
But I digress.
I really wanted to tell you about when we had a bit of sushi on Saturday. No, actually I really wanted to tell you about what I drank when we had a bit of sushi on Saturday. As a spur of the moment thing I ordered an insanely overpriced „matcha soy shake“, basically a milkshake made from soy milk flavored with green tea powder.
And let me tell you it was good. It was actually nearly worth the price. Plus, I guess it was even healthy. Now of course my next goal is to find out how to make it myself. I figure it can’t be too hard. I just need some matcha powder and some soy milk and trial and error my way to the perfect glass of matcha soy shake. Really, with basically two ingredients, how hard can that be?
I just hope they didn’t have a secret ingredient mixed in there. I’ll keep you posted.
