Not Just Ninjas

Tomorrow we leave on our big three-week trip to America. In between seeing all the lovely people we’ve been missing for a year and a half, this trip is going to consist largely of stuffing ourselves with all the lovely food that we’ve been missing for a year and a half.

For fun I am establishing this graph to track my weight throughout the trip. If I am lucky, it will be a very boring flat line. As I blogged shortly after arriving in Japan, I lost 15 pounds pretty much immediately on moving here; I’m fully expecting to gain it back, with gluttonous interest, during this trip.

Slightly obsessive food log:

• Omelettes and hash browns (and bottomless coffee!) at Coral Cafe, Burbank
• Pizza and beer at Earth, Wind and Flour, Santa Monica
• Breakfast at Martha’s in Hermosa Beach
• In-n-Out Burger
• Guadalajara Taqueria in Davis
