The ending did not produce as large of an emotional response as the events that happened in the game did, to tell you the truth it ended exactly as I had expected it to, so I guess it was more closure than anything else. I have yet to see the very ending of the game, but the last boss is beaten. So ends a chapter in my life that I am inviting to end with open arms - there are SO MANY other video games I could be playing..
At least until Persona 3:FES comes out.
In other news, I have been going on some food adventures!
First off, the apples.
Mike and I went to the WORLD CLASS Shoprite near the Sbucks he works at for dinner, and while we were there I decided that I needed to buy some damn food. When I went to get some apples I was pretty surprised to find that there were over 10 different kinds of apples. We stood there for about 15 minutes trying to decide which ones to get, but I ended up getting one of four different kinds.
I got Macintosh (sour!) Jazz (tastes like snapple apple!) Pink lady (tart, with a funny aftertaste!) and Stedman (havent had it yet!). So far I have not found the right apple for me (banking on the Steadman by the looks of it) and next trip to that Shoprite I will be getting four different kinds of apples. Pretty soon I will be an expert on what kind of apples I like to eat.
Secondly, French Press!
Mike, for no reason what-so-ever (and this, by the way ladies, is why I am luckier than you) bought me a french press coffee maker from his work. I wasn't being smart enough to realize that when I ground up coffee to use in it that I needed to get it ground in the biggest chunk possible, so I tried to make it using the fine grounds. The coffee pretty much came out like very thick coffee, pretty much espresso-like. I drank some of it and had to throw the rest out. I have decided that I'm going to use up the rest of the coffee (Ubora blend, again courtesy of the boyfriend) thats fine ground in the one cup coffee maker. Which, by the way, kind of stinks, because I only have one mug that will fit in the coffee maker. The rest of the mugs are too tall! So once the fine Ubora is gone I can move on to the special Princeton blend, get that ground thick, and try this french press thing all over again. I'm sure there is some kind of water/coffee special balance that I have to achieve, but thats the best part about it - always an adventure!
Next, I made miso soup from scratch for the first time last week.
The thing that sucks the most about that though is that there is APPARENTLY some kind of secret miso/water/stock combination formula that I don't know yet - so every time I make the soup its a giant experiment of whats going to taste good. Other thing that sucks is that I don't readily keep broth in the house - so I had to use shitty campbell's chicken soup broth which has tons of sodium in it and really threw off the flavor. Other variations of miso soup use fish stock instead of chicken, and different kinds of miso, so there is a LOT of experimentation that is going to be going on over the next few months.
Finally in some kind of celestial breakthrough I found a kind of mushroom that I like! They're called enoki mushrooms, and they're cute AND delicious! I put them in my miso soup and they act as a kind of noodle since they get mushy. They don't really taste like anything, its more of a texture thing, but thats rad!
Like I do with most things, I bought them because they looked cute. Who knew they would be so tasty (in miso) as well!!
