Food pictures huh? Here's a little teaser for you Akimbo and anyone else reading.

Show Image


SNACK TIME FROM THE LOCAL JAPANESE GROCERY STORE!!

- Green tea Kit Kats
- Passion fruit Kit Kats
- Nori wrapped rice crackers
- Halloween edition strawberry Pocky
- Magosteen gummy candy
- Nori/Soy Sauce Rice crackers

The passion fruit kitkats are the ****! :thumb:

Though I do swear by the regional variant of the green tea kitkats ;D

EDIT: How much they costed? The green tea, I mean

$6 / bag I believe (in LA area).  You better stock up on those because I was able to finish 1 bag for a 4-5 hour road trip.  Since your road trip is like a few days, you'll need around 10 bags.

I had a box of green tea kit kats at home and I'm not *that* into sweets. I'll probably gift DorkVader the majority of Kit Kats if he likes them. And it was $6/bag.

Hm...well I tried uploading pictures but I was using my Olympus EPL3 today to shoot. And apparently, my Chromebook doesn't like even like the opening pictures. I tried uploading to imgur but it got insanely hot. I'll upload more pictures later.

What did I do today?

- Tried a new food called sangak. It's a Iranian/Persian flat bread that comes in a huge serving. For $4, I literally got this flag of flat bread; 2 ft by like 5 ft. It was studded with sesame seeds and so it was nutty, crunchy, and chewy.

- Bought some camera accessories

- Met Sheraton, owner of Originativeco.com.

- Introduced demik to homestyle Japanese food. We had oyakodon, chicken wings, lotus root, tofu, soba, and other delicious Japanese food for dinner.

- Played keyboards! I tried the SSKR finally as well as a KMAC2 Sherry brought. And Sherry also brought his GMK Dolch along with BSP PBT keycaps. I loved both of them. So much for giving up PBT...I'm on the hunt for BSP PBT now.

- Played a lot more with the 3D printer. Mkawa will be selling solder spools soon!

- Ate Blockheads shaved black sesame ice cream, VolcanoTea matcha green tea boba, and some of those Japanese snacks.

- Laughed hysterically as we bombed around at ludicrious speeds in mkawa's Fiat 500. That thing is a monster. As demik and Sherry, it's NO JOKE.

And finally, I HAD IN N OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME!! It was really good. I wasn't sure what to expect since I heard conflicting things but I really enjoyed it. I like it way better than Five Guys. And it was half the price! It's a double-double with fries. I just wanted to try it simple and not like Animal Style or anything so I'd know what it's like. Good stuff :D.
I LOVE THAT PLACE!!  have you learned the secret menu?

You guys don't even understand. If I can, I'll take a video later. Sherry and demik know....and nubbinator. It's seriously on another level. Mkawa was claiming 0-60 MPH in 4.5 seconds and I totally believe it.

In N Out was an unexpected but great dinner destination. Happy I had it but sad I didn't study up or listen to demik and mkawa. I guess trying tsukemen for the first time will have to cheer me up
:P. If you don't know, it's dipped ramen. Real ramen XD

4.5 is a hell of a good time, if you look at your list, few Ferrari beat it, and the ones that beat it are super cars worth 200k+++

I tried a "car" that could do 0-100 in around 4 sec, but it was like a big kart with a motorcycle engine that was built for a university competition (SAE formula or something like that). The feeling was impressive.

So if his car can do it in 4.5 sec, man 2 thumbs up to him!

Breakfast of champions: cha siu tsukemen from Tsujita Ramen. It's a tonkatsu style ramen but instead of having the noodles in soup, it's on the side like soba. And there's Chinese style roasted pork belly on top. You dip the noodles into the soup. It was incredible.

 We found the General Patton museum in California! It had a ton of tanks near a trailer park and gas station. And then we shot videos of us playing kendama haha. And we just crossed into Arizona. The mountains are more red and there's cactus everywhere ^__^. It's pretty flat out here as well.

Oh and Sam and I are getting much better at kendama. GH Kendama Pro Team!
