I am not sure how long it has been there now, but there is a relatively new restaurant in town. Dake Japanese Fusion Restaurant. When I first saw it I was immediately interested but we haven’t yet been. The have all kinds of things on their menus but they also do Teppenyaki. I decided I would like to go there for lunch and have booked a place at a Teppenyaki grill. A couple of friends are going with us. If you have never been, several people sit up at the bar and the chef cooks the food on the hotplate in front of you. Usually the chefs make a bit of a performance of it and it is great fun. If you check out the link, the menu is shown for the grill. Also pictures of the restaurant.Dunno about you, but everyone I speak to lately has sworn off flying anywhere. I am not keen on the idea myself either, although statistically it is supposed to be very safe. However, with planes crashing and others being shot down, it does make one somewhat nervous. They never have solved the disappearance of the original missing Malaysian flight either. I think the families must be distraught.
I posted puppy pictures the other day, my friend now has her puppy and she has been posting pictures on Facebook. The puppy's name is Zoey.
Here’s something interesting for ice cream lovers. All the way from Sussex, England. I certainly must give this a try. British single cream is probably equivalent to our whipping cream and caster sugar is the same as our regular sugar. Not sure where one buys rock salt but no doubt I can find some.
