Lunch in Detroit

Ahhhh, safe on the ground in Detroit.  Jeff & I decide to get some lunch before our flight leaves for Japan.  Yum, there was a Pizza Hut, a McDonald's, an Irish Pub . . . we kept walking.  Jeff says, "Let's get Japanese!"  Of course, I should have guessed!  I looked over the menu of the Japanese Cuisine & Sushi Bar.  I suddenly wasn't very hungry.  I ordered Miso (soup).  I figured that was safe.  Jeff ordered some kind of Ramen - but let me tell you - this was NOT the Ramen our kids eat!!  His Ramen was topped with sliced cooked pork, sliced hard-boiled eggs, seaweed & something that looked like watercress sticks!!  I was thinking, "I'm so glad I just ordered regular Miso."

Until I tasted it....I thought I had just swallowed the dirty water from a goldfish bowl!!  UGH!  Let me describe it. . . . .white chunks of something (I was afraid to ask).  I think it was hard-boiled egg whites or maybe tofu??  ...lots of sliced green onions....& SEAWEED!!!  I soon figured out that if I avoided the seaweed & ate only the green onion & broth, it killed the flavor of the dirty goldfish water!  And alas, my Japanese food adventure has begun!!!  I am entering this adventure with an open mind, but I'm seriously worried about the food!
