Was on my way to a small lake to goof around and this scene (minus the train) caught my eye. I hung around for a bit and sure enough...a train approached because...this is Japan! Wait around long enough and there is ALWAYS a train! :smile

Sep 3rd Reply Respect & ResponsibilityDo you live on Honsho or Hokkaido? To me it looks like Honsho.
HillbillyDeluxe
Thank you and for the fav too! I'm on the big island, about two hours out of Tokyo. How did you know it was Honshu?
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...EarthHart
Back in the '70s, my Kendo Sensei, Roald Knutsen-san, took 6 of us there for four months intensive training. We started in Osaka and ended up in Towada, in northern Honshu. Got my Sandan there.
Sep 4th Reply Respect & ResponsibilityHillbillyDeluxe
That's right! I believe you told me that before. Training in any martial art is more intense here! I've been training with my kids occasionally and I'm whipped half way through practice. I might just stay put in my hockey league for the time being where things are safe!

Sep 3rd Reply who wants a hug?HillbillyDeluxe
Sounds good, but by the time I get there, I think everyone else will have eaten it.
Char broiled fish is good, just have to pick around the blackened pieces. 
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...Lucifer
:D i cook it in the pan and so what....it will be just a bit tough on one side XD mmm you made me taste for broiled fish. but the best it is when you make it outside with friends and is good mood and fun :)
Sep 3rd Reply who wants a hug?HillbillyDeluxe
Plus don't forget a bottle of wine and a couple bottles of Budvar or Urquell!
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...I'm sure your fish will taste better than what I had for dinner today!
Lucifer

I had a poor man's version of farfalle alla genovese. I say poor man's version because I didn't have any potatoes in the house and was too hungry to walk to the supermarket.
(and I used a pre-made pesto...don't tell Jürgen...sshhh
)
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...I like a nice German white wine. Sweet and crisp!
HillbillyDeluxe
Two comments...double the fun!
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...Lucifer

I've heard that about pro chefs....they often have the worst diets!
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...Basically it was bowtie pasta with a basil sauce. My mom taught me how to cook when I was little and it's always been a hobby of sorts.
Good food can also comfort when shit hits the fan.
Lucifer
yes worst diets or starving whole day long XD ...i hope he wont read this XD
Sep 3rd Reply who wants a hug?your mom knew what to teach you :)) and well i think men can cook much better than women ...my dad loves cooking and it looks like he did it with bigger love than my mom does :D
never heard saying like that...could you please explain to me? XD
HillbillyDeluxe
The saying, "When the shit hits the fan", refers to an unstable situation turning into chaos, basically when a situation gets really messy and bad.
Sep 3rd Reply C'mon Pookie...Lucifer
ah yes i understand now. and i know exactly what you mean :) thank you for explanation :)
