paybacks

Well, its been a week of paybacks, and I'm officially exhausted and feel the beginnings of a pre-rainy-season cold on its way. Daichi, one of my fave students from Tane-chu, has invited to his home for his mother's MOST delicious meals a few times now...finally, they took me up on an offer to attempt a cooking showdown at my house. She won, it was delicious and I'm stuffed to the gills.
