i sit here, next to mum, on a couch, watching "Man V Food" (ridiculous show about an American filling himself with lard, with a side of lard), with a lovely full tummy, writing about the last fourish days in Chicago.
chicago is a combination of leafy apartments in suburbia, strips of "rust belt" and ghetto neighbourhoods, a hive of incredible architecture, and a happening downtown of sky-high buildings puncturing the blue. And it's all perched on the side of the massive Lake Michigan.
To both kick-off and close our lovely time here, we visited our 'local' japanese restaurant, Ukai, where we tasted exquisite japanese-fusion foods, cheaply and (for once) in a respectable serving size! Included in our tastings was grilled eel, hanger steak, air yuzu, gomae and other complex delicacies.
ta ta ta ta ta... i am actually wondering whether it's really particularly interesting reading what i am doing? probably not. i'll leave it here i think...
