sushi wushi lunch
today peter and i went to the japanese place (which was thankfully air-conditioned) down kleine berg for a sushi lunch. we shared some oshinko-, tekka-, sake-, kappa- maki and some tamago and sake nigiri. yumm! forgot to take pictures, so what else is new.
it reminded me of having sushi lunches with my father. not that peter reminded me of my dad or anything. i just miss being able to just have lunch with my dad sometimes. and when i ate with my dad, we end up in a japanese place most of the time, hence this flashback during lunch today.
whenever my dad came to visit me in london, he always wanted to go to this japanese place in soho, where he'd always order the sashimi bento or the toriteriyaki bento.
a few years ago, i was down in lisbon, visiting my parents. my dad had found this great little japanese place in alcantara but it was expensive and i was broke so i figured if i swung by his office, he'd take me out there. hehe. little miss sneaky pants i was.
so my dad and i had a delicious lunch, over which we drank sapporo (or kirin?) beers and and plum wine and sake. uh oh. just a bit too much. when lunch was over, we were both giddily tipsy, except we weren't going to admit that we were hammered.
dad: i don't think i'm going back to the office.
me: no? why not?
dad: because i'm going to go and play golf!
me: *thinking: shit, i can't go home and pass out now* oh ok, i'm going to the museum of fine art then!
so paulo dropped my dad off at home, and then dropped me off at the art museum. omg, what an afternoon. i was really drunk in the museum, i just waltzed through all the galleries, cross-eyed at everything. i couldn't remember anything i saw (so had to return the following week).
after a while, i had to sit outside to clear my head a bit. i got home, and my mom asked what we did for lunch that made my dad so tired. apparently my dad had gone straight to bed after the lunch drinking session. huahahaha.
anyway, remembering this story made me smile.

I love that story, Yas! I have had similar experiences eating at Japanese restaurants with my dad... well, except for the alcohol bit! That has yet to be done with bokap gue! ;)
