Amanda asked me if I wanted to go to a free lunch over at Northop Mall today. I said sure, why not. We hopped on a campus bus and got off at the mall. Nothing there. Then it dawned on Amanda that today was the 14th not the 21st. Opps! So we started walking back to work. On our way we decided to go into Azuki, the new Japanese restaurant at Washington and Oak on campus. They have a cute little sushi bar, but the menu has other Japanese food. Amanda ordered the lunch special of Chicken teriyaki over rice with miso soup. I had the Pork Katsu over rice with miso soup. We also split an order of Gyoza. The Gyoza was delicious. Amanda's teriyaki was good (it had onions and some broccoli), if not pretty standard. Pork Katsu is a breaded and fried pork cutlet. They filled a bowl with seasoned rice topped by mushrooms, fried onions, bok choy, the pork cutlet, then they made a sweetened omlet that was poured over the entire dish. It was really good. I even ate the mushrooms and bok choy (which if you know me, that is an accomplishment). I was only able to finish half of the bowl. The rest will be lunch tomorrow.
I was able to bike all the way home last night. Taka again met me on the way. He was impressed when I beat him up the last hill. I was really pushing it at the end. We biked together part of the way in this morning. I hope that at some point in time this starts to get easier.
