Karuizawa 2008

Our annual trip to Karuizawa included a stop at a blueberry farm. It was the first time I ever picked fresh blueberries. After this experience, I've decided it's just much easier to buy them at the store! It's harder than it looks to find ripe blueberries.

Of course, we met up with the straight couple. This is their cat. They've decided to buy a cat since they don't have kids. Cute cat....however I am allergic to cats and I was suffering to get out of the house!

Our macrobiotic meal at the blueberry farm. I swear it took them an hour to bring out our food. By this time, we were all in a pretty bad mood and starving to death!

My sweetie pie. ;)

Dinner at a french restaurant in Karuizawa. Nice but it was actually just so-so.

The course actually starts at the bottom. Just too lazy to redo them. hehe

I really was hoping for a better dining experience. Maybe next time, we will choose a better place. Oh well.

The sherbets were lovly. The other stuff passable.

The beef dish was too heavy for us. The sauce too salty. I only ate half.

Fish was good. But a bit dry and just didn't seem all that freshly made.

Soup was just corn potage. Nothing special either. Hmmmm

The scallop dish was the best this evening. Very good.

This is where the meal starts at the french restaurant. The amuse bushe. Pastry crust with sun-dried tomatos. Really mediocre. Something I can easily make at home.

The mediocre eel dish we had for lunch. I swear, it just wasn't that good.

My sweetie pie driving. I love my partner.
