Down, Down, Prices are Down

It has been a month since I have heard the “down, down prices are down,” ringing in my head. It has been more time consuming and marginally more expensive, but an exciting consequence is eating more fruit and vegetables.  

In some dramatic periods of reflection (alternatively called the drive to work) I was thinking about how when we lived in Japan and rarely went to the supermarket. Although it was a diet largely based on copious amounts of alcoholic beverages, it was local veg shop (which was under the highway), the occasional food hall, small local shop, convenience stores and fish mongers that I made all purchases.  So I have dived into the archives and found some photos of some of the greatest food in the world. 

Tako :)

I see an egg, some pink and maybe a potato cake.

Nabae- or as we call it stew

Yakiniku

Last one is my favourite, takoyaki.
