TAMPOPO - A favorite DVD review

It's billed as a Japanese Noodle Western. That alone was enough for me to see it years ago. And I've been a fan ever since. It hit all my favorite quirky notes - the food shots were beyond fabulous...the story is unique... The shots of Japan are terrific.

It's just plain crazy-fun! Check out the other reviews on Amazon...I'm not the only one who's a fan of Tampopo!

Attack of cuteness...

Some days the simplest things make me feel good - a pink pen... A new cell phone charm... a post card... Some day it takes a whole tsunami of cute to work out life's kinks.

On days like that I'm glad 'cute' is so reasonably priced.

If only all the world's ills could be cured by some glitter...

Sushi Dinner photos

Photographs of Negimaki, sushi and green tea mochi... More of my obsessive food photo'ing...

I didn't know if I was going to include the food in the blog but looks like I did afterall.

Japanese snacks and random goody photos

I love to photograph food because... Well, its around all the time and it looks so darn good. Even though it's not art...exactly.

There is something so yummy about food and sinful about food porn. Here's some way fun Japanese snacks...

Ramune Soda Junky...

I love the stuff but can't explain why...
