Day 212: Hello Triyaki!

Jess and I have been hearing commercials on the radio for a new Triyaki buffet in Lawrence. We've had the original Triyaki drive-thru chinese a few times in the past, and have always been pleased with the results. Today was MLK Jr day, so Jess was off and we took advantage of our time together to run some errands. One of these was trying out the buffet for lunch. It reminded us of one of our former favorite restaurants (now shut down), Jade Mongolian Barbecue. There are cold bars where you build a bowl of assorted ingredients which you take to a window and they make it into a soup for you. Jess wasn't impressed with her chicken broth base, but I rather enjoyed my beef. That is until I squirted wayyy too much red chili sauce into it. Beyond the soup that have a standard assortment of pre-cooked chinese food (General's chicken, lo mein, etc.), and a pretty impressive variety of sushi which Jess bravely dabbled in. After lunch, we moved on to more errands, including buying me an entirely new supply of socks. As you can probably tell, Triyaki was just about the highlight of our day.

Trying new things!  We found some we liked, and some that we weren't as thrilled with.
