Today was one of those lazy sundays where I don’t feel motivated to work, sew, cook or do much stuff. Actually come to think of it, sometimes my weekdays are also lazy too. Hm..but that’s another topic for another day.

We have neighbor living above us and they have a little girl about 5 or 6 years old who LOVES to run and thump around their house. I don’t know how or where little kids get all their energies from. That little kid can run straight non-stop for 3 hours! It’s madness I say! Imaging hearing thumping sounds to and fro above your head for 3 straight hours. I know it is wrong to have evil thoughts or ill wishes against a little girl but sometimes I can’t help myself! At times like this, hubby and I just want to go out and enjoy ourselves. Even though today the little girl did not run or thump so long, we still decided to go out and enjoy the sunny weather.

We picked a ramen restaurant that opened up just few months ago for lunch. Usually I would order a nice hot bowl of ramen but since I had upset tummy two days before, I wanted to play safe and ordered something with rice instead. I looked at the menu quickly and picked out the eel rice bento box set. I love eel rice although I did not know how eel looks like in real life until few years ago and let’s just say I prefer the cooked version. When the set arrived on our table, it consisted of a box of eel laid on top of white rice, a little side dish of sauteed cucumbers and a bowl of miso soup. At that point I was starving already so I munched right down. Yum-o-yum! The eel is just right and soft with a hint of sweetness from the sauce. With a few bites of the eel rice, I also ate the cucumber in between. Having a delicious meal like this on a sunny day sure can bring a big happy smile to my face (and heart!). Ahh......what a lovely way to spend my Sunday afternoon~
