Acme Chophouse

Yes, I'm really into food these days. Everything tastes so good! I've just started putting extra something on my thighs (and Dav says my butt is bigger already), so this pregnancy thing isn't just about the belly. Sigh. But I'm enjoying it now that it's more obvious I'm growing a little being versus carrying a beer belly.

Anyhow, last night was a delightful work-related dinner. We've had 4 of our Japanese 6A members working here for over a month, and since they are leaving tomorrow, we took them out for dinner. Lilia suggested Acme Chophouse and it was perfect in terms of offering a memorable meal that one would just not find in Tokyo.

To be honest, it's the kind of place I'd never go on my own, and would only eat such a type of meal once every 3 years or so. It's huge and meaty. Only one fish dish. We did family style so we got to share a variety of dishes. Two things: 1) the meat is organic top quality meat and absolutely delicious, and 2) my body can tolerate only so much meat!

We all had a good time, and I think our Japanese team got all proteined-up for their trip home! Sekimura-san got some good pics here. Clearly, both of us started our picture taking with our lobster bisque soup :)

ha! when I read "beer belly" it took me a second to realize you were talking about that perfectly shaped belly I saw on you last weekend. It's funny but I was really struck - honest to goodness - by your distinct little shape. It's so... chiseled? I don't even think that's anything close to the word but something close to that! It's like this little alien being attached to your tummy. I hope alien doesn't sound BAD, I don't mean it that way. But when I hear beer belly I think rolls of jelly and your little gargle is this perfectly formed firm bump. How's that for a distinct description??! ;-)
