motogen

as i was walking home from work tonight, i was thinking about what i would make for dinner. pasta or rice or cereal...something simple. i happened to come across my roommate walking home also and made a quick decision to go to the restaurant down the road...motogen. we love this place. weve gone many times before.. but we havent gone recently for who knows why,,, so we went. it was rainy. when we got in, the man was so surprised that we came becuase he thought noone would come due to the rain. there was another man there eating at the counter. so we sat down and ordered. we ordered chicken wings, deep fried garlic, salad, fried cheese, fried pumpkin, fried shrimp and eggplant on a stick and yum yum yum... but the guy brought us out some other food for free. it was soooo good. then when we were leaving, he gave us some souvenirs that the other man had brought him.. some little chocolate cakes.

tonight while walking home, we kept asking the same question...why did we ever stop going. i love that place.





another cute story... one of my favorite students came in today wearing a large purple womans coat...he is a 3rd grade boy. hes so cute. so we say wow, your coat is big and he responds in a loud annoyed voice "grandma!" then as we are in class, his cell phone rings.. he looks at us in the class and says "wait a minute please" leaves the room to take the call and then comes back. then he gets a text message about 10 minutes later. then at the end of the class he gets another call (all 3 times, it was his mother) and he answers, saying (in japanese) "MOM im in english class... what do you want!!" he said this in such a funny tone we all laughed really hard ... in his class there are 5 girls and he is the only boy. so he always gets us all laughing.

tomorrow is friday whooohooo.. however this sunday is our big student christmas party. say hello to jollyness from 8am till 5pm on sunday.. ho ho ho.

well im off to read and maybe study japanese.

goodnight.

that sounds absolutely delicious. the other day i had pumpkin curry in an indian resaurant in chinatown in honolulu and it was so amazing. also stunning was the chai tea at this restaurant, the guy refused to give me the secret, he said it took 2 years to perfect. mmmmm chai and pumpkin things...
