it's the cheese
Arrived in Providence a lot sleepier than I expected. I can sleep on planes so I tend to take red eyes and just sleep the flight away. But I was reading Jodi Picoult's "Plain Truth" and it was interesting enough to keep me awake to read the whole thing in one go. Result was I only snatched about an hour or two of sleep and arrived verrry sleepy.
The lovely oceansong picked me up at the airport which I repaid by falling asleep on her couch twice. Thank goodness oceansong took this in stride. Luckily this allowed me to be much more alert for dinner with her parents who are so sweet. I also met her sister, brother in law and new nephews (so cute!).
We went to Hiruki (japanese food) for bento lunches (mmmm!) today. I got a beef and asparagus special which had no visible sign of asparagus but was quite tasty regardless. It was thin sliced teriyaki beef wrapped around chunks of cheese, which ended up tasting like a very good cheesburger with bbq sauce. It's still a little disconcerting for me to encounter dairy products in japanese food but it worked. Excellent miso soup there too, lots of the more rustic and nutty sweet red miso in their blend, which I approve of.
