the city of brotherly love -- and morimoto

Today I brought my slightly blurry eyes to Philly, where my colleague and I are going to be giving a presentation on Web 2.0. We took the Amtrak from Penn Station down here to 30th Street Station a day early so we could hole up and review the presentation and materials.

We did have to take a break for dinner, however, and for that we journeyed to Morimoto, the original restaurant of Masaharu Morimoto, of Iron Chef fame. It was an amazing meal - one of the best I've had in a long time. We ordered a tofu appetizer, where a waiter came to our table and literally MADE fresh tofu from soymilk before our very eyes. It all happened under the cover of a stone pot, actually, over the course of 10 minutes. But still, it was pretty cool. More to come on that later.

For now, it's time to rest my eyes. It's been a few days now since the eye doctor took out my "contact lens clear bandages" on my eyes, and my eyes have been feeling more tired and irritated. Today was also the first day I wore eye liner again - after almost 2 weeks. I think my Lancome Le Stylo Noir pencil had missed my lids!

OMG! I love Morimoto, and all those others from the ORIGINAL Iron Chef.

Aaaand, I love fresh tofu too... if I dare say, minimalistic fresh tofu is even better than the stinky stuff. :!

There, I said it.
