I don't know. I never liked Tofu or Miso Soup really. My parents loved them! Every day it was Misoshiro and Tofu, Tofu and Misoshiro. I found Tofu really bland and tasteless and Misoshiro only faintly salty. And it usually contained ... surprise! Tofu! :(
For years the Japanese restaurant I usually frequented made green tea ice cream, in warming up vanilla ice cream (let it stand for like two hours) and then pour the matcha powder in, stir and put it back into the freezer. When I started working there I pointed out that we might get a problem with the health inspection if something were to happen. These days most places in Japan order Green Tea Ice Cream in, and there is no need to mix it themselves. It's also a really popular Haegen Dasz Flavour, and comes in three different variations.
I have a weakness for movies like Blade Runner, Alien, Conan (when I was a kid), Terminator, Star Wars, Indiana Jones. I loved Spiderman-I remember now, I used to draw Spiderman! Just silly action stuff. When I was five to eleven, I adored Western. My father allowed me to stay up for Western movies, because I was such a terror, when I couldn't watch one.
It's AGES since I have read anything else than fan fiction. I tried reading Murakami's newest book but it got on my nerves within two pages (!).
I am on/off reading Hannah Arendt at the moment and re-reading Erich Fromm's "Art of Loving".
I think I have to modify my plan to only start reading the Game of Thrones books, when the last one is out. Someone pointed out to me, that it won't happen before 2035, so maybe not a great plan.
One of my favourite books is Mary McCarthy's "The Group" ... it somehow doesn't fit much into the rest of books I read, but I have an odd affection towards it-like the old school friend you once were close with, but then life separated you, but you still have a good chat when you meet once in a while. There are so many parts of myself I recognise in parts of the books characters. Since that book was written somewhere in the 30s or 40s some things are a bit outdated, but in the whole it's still a very eloquent book.
You know people always see themselves differently than others view them? Both views have their truths, I think, and both views have their blind spots, I guess :)
