Back from Omihachiman!

So if you read my earlier post about heading to "The O-mi" (say it like "The O.C." to make it sound super cool) you are probably expecting some juicy details about how fun the beach was, how delicious the tikka was, and possibly looking forward to a picture of Emma in a swimsuit (rowr!)... But alas...

It has been 90+ degrees for the past month...

I am not lying, exaggerating, or using the fabled hyperbole...


But, when we plan to go to a beach, what happens...?

It muthagrabbin' rains for two goshdarn days in a really row!

But it turned out OK... We chilled, drank beer, watched TV and movies... All in all a very enjoyable time!

We also decided to favor burgers, corn on the cob (or should that be corn?), and french fried potatoes... They were delectable... And I am not being sarcastic... I ate so much!

So we missed out on tikka, but something we did NOT miss out on was the yakiniku... Basically you buy raw meat (beef, chicken, pork) and then grill it on a grill in the middle of your table... Good stuff... We ordered some beef and pork... And, by accident, we also ordered (and ate, mind you).... wait for it...

...

Cow intestine!

Yum!

It looked like chicken on the menu... Whoops! When we cooked it, it was clear that it wasn't chicken... It wasn't too bad actually... Basically some beef fat connected to some chewy bits... :P

Anyways, all in a very enjoyable weekend! Joe and Tiff were excellent hosts! Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures! We were having too much fun relaxing and eating offal!
