Second Post-Ippai

Second Post!  So, I haven't really been blogging, just because there's been so much to do.  I wrote my first post a long time ago, but never published it for some reason.  I think I'm going to try to start blogging just a little bit each day so that I don't forget what happened by the end of the week.  So, I was considering writing about my past week, but there's just too much.  In a nutshell I was juggling this new living situation with cool trips every day after school and meeting a ton of new people and figuring out bus stops and much much more.  Luckily one thing I didn't have to worry about was my Okaasan! (Host mom!)  She's been so great and talks to me all the time with patience far exceeding what my Japanese skills deserve. She's also great in that she makes AMAZING FOOD.  The title for this post is the word for full.

If you haven't noticed, my facebook page is now entirely filled with food.  But in case you haven't noticed I'll share a few now!

Eating a fish bone!

 Can always count on Okaasan to take pics of me when I'm looking my best.....

 I kid you not, this was my breakfast one day. To say the least, it was indeed a good morning.

 Some yummy rice topped with an omelet with sauce spelling out my name

Curry! My Okaasan calls it "Curry, to my taste"

 So I thought I might get hungry in Japan, since I have a budget and since I heard that Japanese portions are smaller, but I was so wrong.  Okaasan feeds me so much food, our fridge is always so packed with random stuff and she's always asking me if I want a snack or ice cream.  The first day I met her she took me to some bakery type place where we bought cake and ice cream to take home.  The next morning she asks me if I want cake...like I didn't even have breakfast yet!!  And tonight she made these really tasty sandwiches which were made of ham, lettuce, mayo, spicy japanese mustard, cheese, and some other stuff.  I ate two and I was full, but then she was like, "you should try this sandwhich, it's the same thing but I put peppers on it!"  So of course I had to have another sandwhich.  After I'm done, and super full, she jokes about how, "That was just a snack, we haven't even had dinner yet".  Or at least I thought that was a joke.  In all seriousness that wasn't dinner.  She made a platter of around 8 sandwhiches (all with bread slightly bigger than the standard american bread) and it was a snack she made me.  She always makes a ton of food and wraps up what we don't eat, but I don't know where that uneaten food goes, because she makes new food every morning and night!  Ippai datta yo! (I was seriously full!)
