The All Seeing Light in my Kitchen

Good Evening everyone!

Hope that life is peachy king, wherever you are and whatever you are doing. As long as its not something bad. For then I must shuuuunnnnnn you! >.> *a crazy reference to a crazy youtube video made popular by Hot Topic, Millions of teens, and Poprocks---ok, ok, I just threw in pop rocks to mess with you head.....OR DID I????*

Anyhow, silly greetings aside, lets get this party started.

I am writing the next part of my ten favorite things of all time to Eat, Drink and Make Merry, from Hakodate’s one and only Starbucks.

Remember my disaster of the last tumbler? Well I am now on the hunt for a new one. Wading into the torturous waters of Japan’s yahoo auction is akin to swimming in shark infested waters. I kid you not, in a world without paypal, Japan makes internet auction purchases difficult. And then there is you know, the language thing. *must work harder to learn Japanese*

Oh and another thing I am hunting for is a new Nacho Libre pen as my old one bit the dust. My students love to look at Nacho in his mid-air leap of awesome. They totally get a kick when I make kissy faces at it—I make it my life’s work to baffle them.
Although tonight is a school night, I needed to pick up some things at animate. I am trying to get the love of Hetalia (Hetalia is a web comic sensation about WWII where the characters are the countries themselves. Its really quite hilarious!) out into the world, one figurine at a time. This is my set.

Anyway, lets resume the rambling, shall we?

6. Japanese McDonalds. Some things taste better with age. Some things taste better in the morning. Some things just plain taste better in Japan, and McDonalds is one of them. Oh luscious SanKaKu Choco Pie, savory Shaka-Shaka Chicken, or just a plain cheeseburger a divine slice of home, cooked better, healthier and wrapped in a smile—by someone who actually means it. Like this hearty little worker.

When I lived in Japan the last time I went to McDonalds all the time with my friends—our favorite haunt, our half-way home landmark, across the street from Yoshinoya, to the left of the bowling alley and neighbor to Momotaro Park. It was our happy place we went to flirt with the staff and make them laugh and even though that location was torn down (much to our sadness) the feelings of joy found only in Japanese McDonalds has remained every time I saunter in.

These are some of my favorite eats from Japan’s McAwesome. Sankaku Choco Pie, which literally means Triangle Chocolate Pie makes geometry delicious and full of chocolaty goodness, wrapped in a flakey crust that faintly crunches when you take a bite.

This is the almighty Shaka-Shaka Chicken. It is a bag containing one huge, thick, crispy chicken nugget. Which, come on, you have to be dead not to like Chicken nuggets (and I have a suspicion that if zombies would THINK to nom on some, it would totally turn them off humans) so its already a win. What makes it Shaka-Shaka (shake shake) is that you pour in a pouch of one of three flavors you feel like eating that day. Lemon, Pepper, or Cheese. Personally Lemon-Pepper does it for me, and why tamper with perfection? Once you pour it in, shake it up and the bag neatly opens to procure a succulent treat that even Zombies would envy.

Next is the most amazing, most life-changing dish you will ever sink your teeth into. It will alter the way you eat pancakes forever. Petite Pancakes are straight from the kid’s menu, but don’t let that deter you at all. Remember what I said about eating stuff for kids? Oh boy, this is the foundations of that ideology. Six piping hot pancakes roughly the size of a silver dollar are yummy enough, but Japanese McAwesome gives you this:

After some initial issues in how to use the little packet-→which you have to squeeze it together, folded in half with the point facing the food product—this is important, otherwise it will squirt at you) It's a combination of apple flavored syrup and icing.

O. M. G. I think it is what heaven tastes like.

Oh dear, I think I will have to now stop off on McDonalds on my way back to Mori. The battery is dying so I better be off. That and my coffee is all gone and I made myself hungry.

*drives to McDonalds gets food and returns home*

Tragedy has struck, my sweet friends, for they have stopped selling SANKAKU CHOCO PIE. *weeps inconsolably*
Who knew it was to be a limited edition item!!! IT DID NOT TELL ME!!!!! T.T I am angry at you Japan McDonald. You give us release dates on these:
These are the heart clogging "American" hamburger limited editions out now. Pfft. I would rather have my pie. M.Y.P.I.E

Speaking of pies though, I am trying to workout (see new year's resolution) and was crunching my abs away, jamming out to ICONIQ, Change Myself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfnyUmTWhws <---- A youtube link for you! and all of a sudden I notice that the light above me has a CREEPY eye in the middle of it. I don't know about you, but this freaked me out.


Memo to self: no more Ghost Hunters. But if that isn't weird enough, my computer puts itself on pause, TWICE, then...then THE SCARY part happens! Out of no where, I am mean no where, cause it looks like THIS outside:


(AKA WINTER---isnt my mountain the bomb though?!) A BEE starts BUZZING around my kitchen! Its big and slow moving, but I am at a utter loss at where it came from!!! I mean, REALLY?? A BEE?? This actually has me worried, besides the whole scared of bugs thing, as it very well most likely means that I have a nest somewhere in my house, probably in the roof or under the floors. Perhaps even under my kitchen cabinet. The chances that this bee is alone is rather unlikely. I ran to my entrence hall to grab my insecticide to do battle with my mighty foe. In one hand, a sauce pan and in the other hand, my rain-of-death-icide and I went forth to do combat. So in other words, I sprayed the S*%$ out of my kitchen.
And just like that, it disappeared, like magic. I'm slightly afraid that it didn't happen and I have lost my mind a bit.
I then retreated to my bed, all thoughts of exercise forgotten. In fact, I think this is the universe telling me not to exercise. What do you think?

Anyway, I will cower under my covers and pray nothing else comes out.
See you on the flip side.
