I did it...I indulged, and loved it!! I didn't go nuts, went to an I-talian joint here in Shibuya, pretty good. Stayed away from the cream/oil based sauces, and went for a modest portion of spaghetti bolognese. Felt good. No wine, which I usually over-indulge in when having pasta. It made me think that I can modify Mama-Gurreri's recipe a bit and crowbar it into the PCP regiment. Before you say, 'pasta with tomato sauce, that's it?' I had a couple of Strong Zero's (8% alcohol, only 60 calories). I can usually put them away, but I was smashed.
2 things I noticed.
1) I had some cheap cheese before I went to lunch...the pre-wrapped individual serving crap....the real-cheese stuf....anyway..the salt tatse was over-bearing and had to stop after 2 pieces.
2) The chu-hais tasted like liquid chemicals. I know that's what they are, but it was revolting this time around. My second drink I went for a homemade shochu mixed with oolong tea...much better.
Interesting about the cheese..
ReplyDeleteMmm chemicals!
ReplyDeleteweird how you taste the salt eh! Beers are on me after you finish! Make that half a beer, you will be smashed after two sips!
ReplyDeleteYou watch what you say about chu-hais....
ReplyDeleteDude, I think I'd pass out after half a Strong Zero these days. Nice post!
