Hi ho off to Brighton we go

I went to the gym this morning to do some miles on the treadmill. I ran for about 45 minutes. I had to watch soccer on TV. I miss working out to Sportscenter highlights!! Damn UK television.

After the gym, we headed to Brighton again.
Check out my loot!
What more could a girl ask for than a new pair of boots, French books, and a running shirt. I heart Brighton! tehehehe..

Eats on a slightly chilly day:
Advertised as the healthiest Pho (pronounced FUH) in Brighton! I could do healthy after last night.
Fresh summer spring rolls.
Beef pho- I asked for it spicy of course. I couldn't stop coughing from the spice but I didn't want to stop eating as it was VERY tasty.

Song of the day: Natasha Bedingfield's version of "The Scientist"

Last night's rendition...

Last night. Yoisho restaurant.
I prefer hot sake over cold. I enjoy sipping it.
Kimchi (a korean side dish) at a Japanese restaurant. I can deal with that.
Yakisoba-greasy but delicious!
Fried octopus topped with the sauce they provide w. pork tontkatsu
Pork cutlets
Fried chicken
I'm not sure what sauce they smothered this in but it was the best eggplant I've had in a while.
Skewers of chicken, meatball, quail egg, gizzard, heart, pork belly, and chicken wings. Not for the faint hearted. I didn't like the gizzard or the heart. Yuck.
Sashimi
Fried shitaki shrooms in soy sauce deliciousness
Green tea noodle salad. You can't see the noodles but they were such a pretty green color. So yummy and healthy!
Seafood omelette

Sidenote: this oversized meal was eaten w. a friend.

Dessert:
Chocolate brownie ice cream with a Belgian waffle. The ice cream was SOOOO good. The brownie chunks had a gritty texture, which I love and it was incredibly chocolatey! My mouth is salivating now just thinking about it!! I might have did a happy dance after I finished eating it :)
