We use the phrase daily to our mothers who cook our meals, and since it is a respectful and appreciative phrase, people tend to over use them even when they pay out of their pockets. <br /><keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-63441429722381509122010-06-20T06:55:57.326-07:002010-06-20T06:55:57.326-07:00And because it seemed more focused on the artistic...And because it seemed more focused on the artistic element, which was beautiful, the portions were especially small. I like the bento box lunches, but they didn’t seem to do that here. They presented on a long skinny ceramic plate, the way some Japanese restaurants usually bring out large orders of Sushi. It was definitely a stunning visual presentation.<br /><br />Yes, American portions are way Rebbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117210892683574784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-14507288770318947732010-06-16T03:16:29.151-07:002010-06-16T03:16:29.151-07:00Vincent,

I don’t know what his thought was exactly, but I doubt it if any intelligent Japanese is hot enough to debate about it and really want to unite people for that purpose. The trauma of WWII is too great.keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-61139180146225053472010-06-16T02:40:22.148-07:002010-06-16T02:40:22.148-07:00Rebb,

But just I was going to say that such restaurant must not be a Japanese restaurant, you said a fusion. That makes sense. As I mentioned before, we don’t usually use sasa by itself. It always comes with some other word or words such as “keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359240399655245601.post-70784173717678032312010-06-15T07:51:33.823-07:002010-06-15T07:51:33.823-07:00I'm not sure what the men meant when they said...I'm not sure what the men meant when they said “We should get together and be one.” At first I thought it meant that they wanted to unite against the Chinese buying the lands.<br /><br />Do you think the EU a good idea?

Does it stay that short forever?<br /><br />What's funny is we just had a working lunch meeting on Friday and we ate at a new Japanese restaurant that I picked called Sasa. It had wonderful ambiance, but it seemed to be a Japanese fusion and the portions were very small, so I see the association with Rebbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117210892683574784noreply@blogger.com
