phone heaven

The other day, I walked past our land-line phone and there was a crackling noise coming from it, which kind of spooked me out at 7 a.m. I especially freaked because I thought it might start a fire of sorts, so I lifted the receiver and this LOUD noise came out from the phone, which rudely awakened Satoshi....our phone went to phone heaven....

So, since Satoshi had the day off today and I had a dentist appointment, we decided to look for a new phone/fax . There are so many brands and styles out there, and it all boils down to how much you want to pay. We got a rather cheap model because the less functions the thing has, the less I have to read the manual to figure all the functions out (Satoshi doesn't like to read the manuals, isn't the manual in his first language??)....sigh...

Anyway, for dinner tonight, we wanted something kind of different, instead, we ended up going to one of our favorite ramen shops, Momofukutei. I posted about this place before here. We've often gone to eat at this place for lunch and had never tried their dinner menu. (Can you believe that each time we have gone here they have seated us in exactly the same seats?) We were pleasantly surprised at what they had to offer.

We ordered their bite sized gyoza (pot stickers).

Satoshi ordered their curry ramen, a version only served during autumn. The broth was very spicy but delicious.

We also ordered their Momofuku salad--which was a caesar salad with tofu (soy bean curd) and katsuo bushi (shaved dried bonito).

I also ordered the kurozu(black vinegar)su-buta (sweet & sour pork) and their fried rice (but my camera ran out of memory, so no photos of them...I hate when that happens...) All in all it was a very nice meal and a very nice day.

Gosh, November is almost over, hope your week is going well.

You had a big dinner last night.
I am sorry that your memory ran out. I hate it when that happens to me too. By the way, what kind of camera do you use for your photos?

Hi Sue,

Yes, it was a very big dinner and really good. Once, I even forgot to put in the memory stick! arrgh.
My camera is really old, it is a Sony DSC-P50. I'm thinking of getting another one, but don't know what to get. What type do you use?

Take care.

Speaking of electronics making wierd noises, a few weeks ago my computer speakers turned on and voices started coming out. Eeek! It sounded like, somehow, my speakers picked up a CB radio in the neighborhood. Wieeerd.

I used to use Canon powershot s45 for 2 month blogging and I bought Canon EOS Kiss Digital X about 2 weeks ago. I really love it. Though it requires some studies which I've been neglecting. :)

Oh my gosh, Sue! My host-sister just got this same camera and I am so jealous! I have been looking to get a new one, but since we had to get a new fax/phone, I think I may have to wait until next Christmas!

Take care.
