mos burger, you delicious thing, you!


ugh, i don't know what happened today. i was attempting to have a nice relaxing day when suddenly delicious mos burger popped in to my head. i've only had it once, in the rocking city of hachinohe. ok, hachinohe isn't really rocking at all. it seems to be a semi sleepy factory town, the pittsburgh of northern japan. anyways, after a week and half of my stay there, i finally convinced my brother to take me to mos burger. i wasn't sure what to think. i was starving! after a 20 mile or so bike ride the previous day along the coast line, and the elusive large meal in japan, i just wanted a tasty burger. after much pleading with my brother, we finally turned in to the mos burger parking lot! mos burger is interesting to say the least. it's a burger, a generic bun, all the odd toppings you can think of and then the crack! yes, the japanese have a food version of crack, and it's the manwich/questionable meat slop/chili-esque addition to your mos burger. i've been dreaming of it all day, and even investigated opening a chain here in the states. i've amused myself with the mos burger website. it's soo cute and i have no clue what i am clicking on 90% of the time. i came to the relization that only an expensive plane ticket to narita will help me with my craving, and alas, i'm still hungry....

west virginia, wild and wonderful...





so i survived another trip out to west virginia a few weeks ago. i'm a city girl, and i get such delight in being stuck in the middle of nowhere. albeit, stuck in the middle of nowhere with an iphone in one hand and a friend in the other! i went with my good buddy charles and his partner ryan. i ate a ton of gravy. i have never seen so much gravy in my life. apparently the gravy boat has yet to be invented in west virginia, and a huge bowl will suffice. 0.o we were also greeted by cute pomeranian puppies! i got to shoot a few different kinds of guns, and i am convinced i hit the target even if no one else was. i ended my memorable trip with a stop at tudor's biscuit world! if you have never experienced this tasty delight, then your life is seriously incomplete. trust me! alas, here are the pics!
