Yaminabe
Friday, April 2, 1999

James had an idea for yaminabe. In yaminabe, while the lights are all off, everyone would put food into the nabe pot. Most often the food would be quite unusual, as like in a prank. James had actually got this idea from reading manga! Anyway when Chang, James, Toshi, Julia, and I were buying food at Wellcome, we didn't show the others our food. Also, joining us at James's flat was Kaori, Ayumi, and Hiraling. Lights went out and we all put food inside. The food tasted really strange. Also, there wasn't enough room, so I wasn't able to put everything inside. There were people yelling "mazui" all the time! I could feel that there was fish inside because of the bones. Taking pictures of the pot caused flashes and so everyone saw how gross the nabe really was!

the person and his/her food
James - curry, fish (with bones)
Chang Ki - M&Ms
Julia - i kinda forgot
Toshi - luncheon meat, plum
Warren - orange, tong yun, eggplant, pineapple, grass jelly

We dumped the nabe and then went to a cheap nearby restaurant to have congee!
