Picked this up in 1985, I believe. My family and I had flew out to California to visit my Mother who lived out there at that time. This was a fun place to visit and I would like to go their again, some day!

Detail of a small plate, traditionally used in Japan for sushi. Third in a series of five cat plates, each with a unique cat painting.

Two more of the cats in this set of five can be seen on my Flickr photostream. I have photographed three to date. Two remaining.

I usually take a photo of my breakfast as an insurance shot, but this is the first time (so far) that I have resorted to using it as my photo of the day.

This "full breakfast" was served on a ridiculously small plate - I included the paperback book to indicate the size.

It was hot and tasty though, and I ate it all up. I also had 2 cups of coffee.

The train that I had booked was cancelled, and I managed to catch an earlier one. Fortunately for me there were spare seats (and food).

The weather was wet and grey, and I wasn't pleased with any of the photos that I took en route. So, here's a picture of my breakfast.

Chipotle butter squash mash, roasted corn and black bean pico de gallo

Tempura-battered kimchi and rice balls, wasabi aioli, togarashi

Crispy confit fingerling potatoes, asparagus, ravigote, 6 minute egg

Caramel corn custard, roasted peanuts, caramel corn, caramel glass

Citrus cous cous with Sweety Drops, avocado puree, pickled ginger chips, strawberry gastrique

Mixed fried seafood

Sambal and soy, cilantro lime rice, crispy carrots
