poltr1Cold and rainy today. Yecch. A wonderful day to sleep in.
But there is a bright point. I found a nice Lebanese restaurant by the Dayton Mall called "Taste of the Mediterranean". I had taboule, kafta kebabs, and a Lebanese coffee. For a few minutes I forgot all about the cold and the rain.
And another sad point. Shiro Japanese Reaurant is no more. It's been replaced by a Thai restaurant.
Days like today are wonderful for soups or meal-sized bowls of noodles. What do you like to eat when the day is cold and rainy or overcast?

Strangely, I'm not as interested in a similar Japanese style rice porridge called okayu.

Another favorite is hu tieu, which I can find at most Vietnamese restaurants.

Since my afternoons are open again, let's go sometime. What days are you available for lunch?
P.S. Cold days (and nights) are wonderful for snuggling, if the sweetie isn't adverse to snuggling.
