You can buy BBQ eel in your local Asian supermarket, which I'm going to do now thanks to Lissar. Goddammit.

Best meal I ever had in Japan:
I wish I could find a place that served this around here.
Ignoring the delicious homemade food and amazing soups my host mother made for me, the best food in Japan was at the izakayas. Just look at that beautiful meat.
Chicken livers, beef tongue, pork belly...
Bring on the global warming, I say.

Looking forward to the end of real-pic January. Everyone's face is a lot less remarkable than their avatars led me to believe.
ooooh unagi huh? Unagi sushi is soooo good.
:lol

Psssh. I'm a stud. I just can't get enough of myself every time I post. That's what keeps me going!
Yep, it's grilled unagi. I had it a couple of times (the expensive kind.) It's reaaaally good. I mean, I loved unagi sushi before, but this is something else.
I'm not sure how that will pan out. It could mean in the UK we get even more rain in the summer. I'm not sure we want that. It has also been stated that we might get winters as cold as Canada as the Gulf stream would break down. That is the reason the UK has such a mild climate for it's latitude.
Yeah, I don't think it works out well for us.

I'll have to try it! I usually HATE fish but love sushi. I don't know how it's possible.

Sushi in general is definitely a different taste from other kinds of fish preparations. And unagi is more different still. Especially with the sauce they use, it doesn't have that fishy taste to me.
I love seafood though

Thats just a giant unagi roll. There aren't any Japanese restaurants around you? Rather common here in LA.

Fresh unagi grilled over binchotan is revelatory when you're used to what most Japanese restaurants pass off as unagi. Fresh anago is even better.

I think it's a texture thing me for, fish just feels so slimy in my mouth and it's hard to deal with

If that was the case a lot of people here have been banging for a while
I live in the middle of no where. And even in Eugene there aren't that many. Of course they would be common in LA!
And it did have a different taste than unagi sushi. Also, the restaurant I went to served roasted eel spines like crackers! Those had a bit of an odd taste, I must admit.
Or in an ultimate twist of irony you guys should switch miguel and tulio from one another. Imagine the amount of mind fuck that would produce. <3.

Well, I meant that it is commonly served in Japanese restaurants around here, not that there are a lot of Japanese restaurants.
Grilled unagi? No, definitely not. Most of our places in Eugene do sushi only. Some places get a little more exciting, but not much more than that (and none of it particularly good, either.)
I thought it was moldy bread.
Damnit.... back to the drawing board. lol

What in the world is going on in here :O A million Kisayas is one thing, but this is something else (and completely terrifying.)
I couldn't stand US history until a few years ago. Now I think it is quite fascinating! (Oh hey, there's another word I use way too much: fascinating. How... fascinating.) I have a particular interest in the revolutionary war.

Hahaha. Nice, KCC (and scary). Will be joining you guys later for the cooking (while at the office,
) and then home post 10 EST for the dancing. Gonna be a full house tonight. Clearacell... you look drunk already. Heehee.
I guess you can say i'm returning to the orgy then.

You guys took this shit seriously, weird.

History itself is interesting. History classes are usually memorization of datapoints and how they correlate with numbers.
Fascinating is a great word.
I use incredible a little too much.
That and I've had the same concepts and points about the history of this country pounded into my head since I was in first grade.

I guess it's sort of a thing you'd have to have participated heavily in to really get why we got so into it... it's not something I can explain. I can tell you I wouldn't have imagined getting so into it, myself!
My history classes were never like that, though I've heard stories :x
very late. :O
not too late Dave. Remember I am in the UK.
I was in there not long back. On my webcam. :O

I'm in need of some thumping music for the gym later (single album). Preferably lyricless... so something electronic most likely. If it's dubstep, no wub overdose.
Any recommendations?

I'm gonna buy it from itunes. Don't look at me like that

I missed the password to tinychat. Plus I think it will be some ridiculous hour in the UK when it all kicks off.
