Good Morning, DR Hisaka.

ochazuke?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #61 on:** June 26, 2005, 09:15:50 AM »

As for breakfast in New Orleans...

I've done that before.

Of course, since it was New Orleans, I didn't have breakfast until sometime around 2:30pm... LOTS of coffee. Boy, does that roasted chicory wake you up good!

DR SWW - Hope you have/had a great time at work.

Oh - I changed my mind about the breakfast. I will have the Italian grilled steak and eggs with Italian breakfast potatoes and a glass of red wine.

And I found my affordable hotel in Rome -

Tokyo (or somewhere in the Japanese countryside) - salmon ochazuke: rice, salmon (baked or tea-cured), wasabi, Sencha green tea - all served in one bowl as a sort of soup.

-Is ochazuke served for breakfast, DR Hisaka? Or are onigiri more appropriate?

That’s depends. Ochazuke is basically served as the final dish of a meal, so we usually have it last of dinner. However, we frequently have both Ochazuke and Onigiri for breakfast, since they are easy to eat, especially if you hie yourself to work early in the morning.
Incidentally, I don’ have any type of rice for breakfast, as it’s too heavy for me. I have a slice of toast, a cup of mik containing calcium ( I need calcium for keeping my bone strong!) and some fruits almost every morning.

Have a beautiful day!

YEAH! My niece and nephew just stopped by...

Laters...

Danise · « **Reply #69 on:** June 26, 2005, 09:27:48 AM »

Since I rarely eat breakfast, I guess anywhere would be fine for me. I do like eggs & bacon or french toast or pancakes.

I used to like a cup of hot tea in the morning but I'm not allowed to have that anymore.

Hi DR Hisaka! I hope your having a good evening (?)! I still get confused with the time differences.

Jose and elmore, tell SWW what DIVISI is, will ya?

I went back to bed at six, put on a movie, and promptly fell asleep until ten minutes ago.

Hisaka · « **Reply #71 on:** June 26, 2005, 09:32:06 AM »

I go to bed.
It's 1:35 am, DR DANISE.

Danise · « **Reply #72 on:** June 26, 2005, 09:38:41 AM »

I have to ask. Did you take the kind of of NyQuil you drink or the liquid gels kind. I can't even think about the kind you drink. Whoever came up with that horrible tasting stuff? Major YUCK!

It gave me the shudders just hear you mention it, BK.

The kind you drink - I do it in one gulp and follow it IMMEDIATELY with a swig of Diet Coke - so I barely taste it.

Danise · « **Reply #75 on:** June 26, 2005, 09:48:51 AM »

And my second Bollywood movie of the weekend:

REPORTER RAJU (1962) starring Feroz Khan and Chitra. Something about a heroic reporter named Raju, who tries to fight crime in his town.

JMK, sorry to hear about the sound difficulties at last nights show.

I will bet the audience still loved it, however!

With all the rain we've had, ours is pretty tall as well. Guess I should go mow ours. Sigh.

It's a tough day because I have to fast for the test tomorrow and I'm STARVING already.

Laters all!

Thanks for the plug... we've had a hell of a time putting the damned thing together. My musical director and I have worked so hard on it, and I think that it's come out very nicely (though I'm rather tired of listening to myself sing...). I just hope other people like it.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** June 26, 2005, 10:18:55 AM »

Jose I have never been to Baltimore.

What time in the morning to we need to begin our food fest-5:00AM? Is the Whole Foods at the Warner Center special or like any other Whole Foods?

Jane · « **Reply #84 on:** June 26, 2005, 10:19:53 AM »

George, congratulations on your successful fund raising!

From Bruce last night:

Quote

I'm having terrible congestion pains in my chest, as if there were a little man in there squeezing everything very hard.

That was the reason my doctor told me to eat lots of watermelon. It was Keith’s idea for me to drink the juice at the bottom of the bowl. A humidifier might also help.

The kind you drink - I do it in one gulp and follow it IMMEDIATELY with a swig of Diet Coke - so I barely taste it.

Ummm... Well, I hope the Diet Coke you drank was the Caffeine Free variety, or you basically just ended up taking the Daytime version of NyQuil - which has caffeine it - or some other stimulant to override the drowsy side effects of the medicine.

From the symptoms you've been describing, it actually sounds like you may be dealing with a bad case of acid reflux. -And taking a swig or two of Diet Coke before going to bed could definitely induce that. -Oh, and the Emergen-C too - just all that acid. *Also remember that Emergen-C bills itself as an energy giver not taker, so before bed... Hmmm.. Not sure if that's the best choice.

But you could be dealing with acid reflux. Your mention of "squeezing" sounded very familiar to my bout with it last year around this time. And acid reflux can also cause a very sore throat since the acid back-ups into your espophagus - trust me on this one -ugh! Is your throat also feeling sensitive in addition to sore? If you're not noticing much post-nasal drip going down the back of your throat, acid reflux could be the possible culprit of your malady. You could buy one of the five packs of Pepcid AC or similiar product, take one after eating your final meal of the day, and see if that helps come morning.

*And stress can bring it on too... And with all your travel and activities that past couple of weeks... Hmmm..

Just something to think about.

I could always check with Tom Cruise to get his diagnosis.

Hmmm.... Baltimore... And it just made Frommer's Top Ten List of US vacation cities, or something like that, so....

As for NYC - We could start around 6:30am. And end around 4:30am.

The Whole Foods in The Time-Warner is just a very neat place mainly because it's in the Time-Warner Center. There's a even a sushi bar inside. And it's just amazing to think that some place like that exists in the middle of NYC - and their very efficient Check Out system is also a wonder to behold. It's also subterranean - you take escalators down into it. However, we could just stay on the ground floor and see if Williams-Sonoma - the largest on the East Coast - is offering any samples.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #88 on:** June 26, 2005, 10:47:15 AM »

As for the taste of Nyquil - Well, I've always thought if the medicine in it didn't knock you out, the taste most definitely would.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #89 on:** June 26, 2005, 10:52:10 AM »

DR Jane - As for your "sampling diet" - most of the places on the "list" actually do offer samples and/or littler version of their more popular items. Fat Witch Brownies always has little cubes of samples out. Cupcake Cafe makes mini-cupcakes too - stil decorated with their signature buttercream flowers. And you can just get a bunch of sample spoons at Rice to Riches, Cones, etc. So, you may not be throwing away as much food as you think you might. Of course, I'm sure there would probably be a volunteer or two willing to share with you too.
