2:40pm: ROAD TRIP!
Yesterday i woke up at 5am took a shower got dressed drank some coffee and headed out the door. I drove 360 miles down to virgina to pick up tomcat and 360 miles back so i can bring him back to CT for collage. It took about 7 hours to get there and even longer to get back.. it was about 11 at night when we got back to connecticut and we where both starving. All i ate before the drive was some crappy D&D sandwich and some coffee. Once we got back to CT i decided on going out to dinner some where nice to get some super delicious meat! :P So we went to this amazing sushi and hibatchi place on the turnpike called KOTO. when we got there it was about a hour and half before they closed so the two of us where like the only people there. We where greeted by the manager of the restaurant a very well dressed polite japanese gentlemen and we took at seat at one of the hibachi tables. I ordered us two tokyo teas (longisland ice tea+medori) and some really good sushi made with king crab, spicey tuna, avocado and topped with crunchy tempora to start us off. Taking a look at the menu i was slightly disapointed,i i was hoping to find some kobe beef but i had to settle for filamon young. I order the most exspencive thing on the menu the KOTO special for 2. It included fried rice or noodles (we got both) Shrimp, chicken, scallops, filamon young and mixed vegitables. First came the show, he covered the cooktop with oil leaving a trail to the edge that he lit on fire with a lighter. He then did some crazy japanese spatula action that was just amazing. Then he tossed around an egg for awhile with the spatula then sliced it in half and started to cook. He chopped up the egg into a million pieces when threw in the rice and oils and made friend rice for me. while he cooked he joked around alittle by pretending to squirt oil at us or whack us with one of the spatulas it was very amusing, at one point he took out a bobble head doll that he made piss oil all over the stove lighting it on fire. Next he cooked up the noodles for tomcat and some shrimp for the both of us. After the first part of our meal was served he started to cook the vegatables, scallops, chicken and the beef. The scallops where the best ive ever had and the beef was absolutly perfect. i was in heaven. After dinner and a show we split a some yummy fried greentea ice cream. the total bill ended up being 83 dollars with a well deserved tip of 15.
Gas and drinks for the long drive: $150, dinner for 2: $100, hanging out with tomcat again: priceless
