Sick of Garlic?!

I love garlic, so I always forget that I cannot eat it too much...

My favorite garlic product is taberu la-yu. But it makes me feel sick after eating a tablespoon of it. Damn, I totally forgot about it and had it on Sunday "a lot" and believe it or not, now I feel very sick for whole week!!!

It happened to me in Italy, too. I think they use a lot of garlic for any food. I always have severe stomach cramps on the last day of the trip, so I'm afraid to visit Italy again. I love CARBONARA!!!!!!!

Maybe I am I seriously allergic to garlic!

OMG... I wish I could be sick of garlic.

Do you have any food that you like but you can't eat?!

It's a dish to go with sake or beer, too :D

Jyoshikai @ Kyodo

Last night I had dinner with two girls in Kyodo. I seldom get off at Kyodo station but I heard there are many nice restaurants there!!!

We tried 2 restaurants last night :D

The first restaurant is called alden. They serve nice and cozy Italian foods.

The second restaurant is popular, SALVATORE CUOMO. Their location is nice, actually! They have a nice lawn in front. We had wine outside and was really relaxing!!!



We had a nice girls' talk there. hehe

BTW, how often do you (girls only) eat out with girls?! We call this kind of gathering 女子会 (jyoshikai) "girls' meeting" in Japanese.
