Today for breakfast I ate ｃｅｒｅａｌ as usual instead of the traditional meal of fish, rice and soup but there wasn`t any milk left. I saw on the table a certain drink advertising itself as a milk drink which sounds like a certain bovine urine substance – Calpis
This is where the Japanese kitchen continues to play cruel tricks on me. I am (quite rightly) afraid to use the kitchen for fear of mixing bleach detergent into my meal or facing another similar mishap. I was told today that as Calpis (as well as having a silly name) is such a sickly sweet substance you are supposed to mix it to about five parts water to one part calpis. I poured half the bottle in straight and could only manage two bites before I had to throw it in the sink or risk vomiting my stomach into the sink.
And so February passes…
