So I've been glued to my desk as much as possible over the past few days, since I returned from playing Irish music in the woods with Martin Hayes, and let me tell you-- as much as possible just hasn't been enough.
So in an attempt to glean a little more time at my lovely corner desk in the livingroom, I've been getting up between 6 and 7 every morning to make coffee, stare into space, check my email, and write. This morning I woke up with a 40 lb dog on my legs, freezing under my one quilt. Apparently my dog got cold in the night as well, because I couldn't get him off the bed, and he stole what few blankets I did have.
And since it is so chilly this morning (finally) I decided that what I needed was a good old fashioned bowl of...okayu.
And, it just so happens, that I have some leftover brown rice in the cooker from yesterday, a jar of shiso umeboshi, an egg, green onions, and miso paste laying around! Everything I could need for a perfect bowl of hot okayu!
This is my favourite cold weather, under the weather, feeling lonely chilly down quietly happy missing Japanhome craving something deliciously warm and salty dish.
