"Dinner um acht!"

I'm getting a bit reliant on Koishii for take-out food. I got introduced to it by R (cue several amusing "being mistaken for a couple by waitresses"-type-encounters!) and I've had dinner there a few times but started using it for take-out lately - a bentōhas become a Friday night staple for me at the moment. 

I may have slightly overdone it this Friday night with both a chicken katsu bentō and chicken katsu noodle soup - was completely stuffed by the end of it but very worth it. Good bit of comfort food and somehow I seem to think Japanese food is guilt-free - mainly because the amount of glutamate from all the soy makes it taste like a big slab of meat when it's really just a very thin (albeit salty) soup.

Just Eat makes ordering so bloody easy these days - whoever thought it up was a genius - pre-ordered and arranged to arrive just before Jonathan Creek started and I didn't even have to speak to a human on the phone at any stage - yay! Not too impressed with the new Jonathan Creek, incidentally - the mysteries used to start in the first 5 minutes and then you had the whole episode to try and work it out before the end. Now they start really late and last about 15 minutes and to be honest, they've all been a bit shit. I really hope they don't make another series of it - the last few Christmas Specials have been stellar but this crap on BBC at the moment isn't Jonathan Creek - it's a very, very pale imitation.
