Shukudai 118, in which serious eating is accomplished--some of it by Arashi

[flange5]

Arashi often seem to have a somewhat complicated relationship to food: They clearly love to eat, yet many of their televised food encounters verge on the horrifying--attempts to present the most stinky, most spicy, most bitter, or, perhaps most frighteningly, the most ancient of foods to be eaten publicly for the entertainment/trauma of all

+ I heart you so much ... you know I do. *squish*

also October yes ... I made Pumpkin and potato curry (of course I was using Vermont curry as a base ^_~) and it will soon be time for pumpkin cookies too! Although hopefull NOT at 2 or 3 am.

Enjoy tomorrow ok!

[flange5]

ooooooh that curry sounds delicious! And of course it's Vermont curry&hearts

We made ma bo tofu with baby bok choy for dinner last night, and then I had it for lunch today, but now I totally want to trade with you^^;

mmmmmmm pumpkin cookies!!! Have I shared with you my insane cookie plot yet? It involves gingerbresd cookie cutters (purchased yesterday) and concert costumes ^^; Because I clearly needed to take on a ridiculous new baking project ^^;

[i_am_zan]

We had a bit left over and so I added chickpeas to it and it was all ate up! ...

also a small gigglebit for your birthday (note appropriate Sho icon! ^_^)

the Washington Post says goodbye to English!

I hope you will enjoy your celebrations today and that it's full of raibows and sparkles and fude and fun! With Arashi thrown in for good measure.

I miss seeing Arashi eat every week. Though they do it in HnA when the guests talk about food, it's not on the same level as Arashi eating on Shukudai.
Jun is in charge of the food for this episode, a role presumably decided by whoever came to work that day wearing the largest button.

I giggled when I read the button part. I never noticed it before.

Of course, now I have reason to wonder why it is that Aiba always insists on having it on the show--perhaps he's trying to fatten Nino up?

Interesting point. And presenting mabo tofu in its different forms is Aiba's way of camouflaging his intentions.

[flange5]

Me too! Though they have been eating somewhat on Shiyagare, I guess, the way Shukudai built it in as a central feature made me really happy.

I had never notice the button before either, but once I did, it was inescapable--and then the ridiculousness of the pouch necklace that he keeps fiddling with . . . I just don't get it ^^; Though I will always defend that hair ^^; And I won't even know why. Obectively, I know it's ridiculous, but . . . I still kind of love it ^^;

Subtle!Aiba attacks again!

[sashjun]

so first of all.I just had a great laugh as usual. ♥
second. I LOVED Jun´s hair like that, sue me but I do.

and then you talking about fall and pumpkins reminded me of one of out own pumpkins. my friend posted a picture of it so antlers anyone?

and last (but not least). ehm you are going to have birthday soon and I am a mess that might forget so please let me say happy birthday now before it´s too late! <3

[flange5]

That pumpkin is hilarious and yet also intimidating!!! So great!

I actually really enjoy it when Jun half pulls his hair back ^^;; This is a variation on it with the curls, but I think it's great with his bone structure. I love his hair int he anniversary concert for the same reason ^^;;

And thank you! It's going to be a long day, since it's a Tuesday and I am at the campus for 11 hours on Tuesdays (hence me bailing a bit early today), but still! It should be pretty awesome ^_^

[oviparous]

you made me so hungry -_-

i miss Shukudai-kun D:

and yes. dan dan mian is chinese, while tan tan men is yet another japanese reading of a chinese food. like mabo tofu (mandarin: ma po dou fu), ramen (mandarin: la mian) and what have you. need i say 'shorompo' is shanghainese dialect for, well, shorompo? XD

love this post. glad you're loving fall. i've only experienced fall once in my entire life, and it wasn't even the real thing... (it was the beginning of december in tokyo! XD)

[flange5]

We got hungry too, so I made mabo tofu with bok choy for dinner ^_^

Tasty and delicious!

I miss Shukudai, too D: I think the other shows are doing fine, but they don't have the same place for me. I kind of look forward to a point when they might have later shows again ^^; Though I want all good things for them, of course ^^;

And thank you for the food clarification!

I love fall, but of course, as soon as I professed my love for it, the fickle season went and left me only with more summer. It's hot again :P Oh well ^^;

Fall is lovely! As long as you have the proper clothes for it ^^;

[afrit_marid]

not really an outstanding episode but you picspamming this makes it worthwhile to read.. XD
can't believe the appetite of this woman..
is she a cow or something?? does she have 4 stomachs?? o____O

anyway, just seeing their pretty faces while eating and teasing each other is enough for me.. XD

oh!! btw! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! =)

[flange5]

Hee! Any episode with this much food and fanservice makes me happy, but I have very particular tastes ^^;

She really is quite amazing O__o I can't imagine eating like that and not dying ^^;

And thank you! I had a fantastic day ^_^
