Yestrday was pretty exciting. Around midday I heard a foreign chant right outside my house which strangely, sounded similar to the call of prayer I’d become so accustomed to whilst living in Israel. What it turned out to be though couldnt be more different. It was a call for hot sweet potato instead! Cooked fresh in the little oven in the back of this dude’s truck. 4 for 1000yen or about 10 dollars. How very exciting and random! Japan never ceases to amaze. So I made a colourful salad. If your food looks like crap it’s bound to taste like it too so make the effort to prepare beautiful meals in order to eat mindfully and thus reduce over eating.
