I went on a walk and stopped at Marché Maisonneuve again and purchased bread, Old Bay spice mix, chèvre, asparagus, daikon, scallions and ginger ($14.20). I also purchased a bamboo steamer with hilarious Frenchgrish on the packaging.

Last night, I discoverd Ozu's masterpiece "Sanma no Aji" (An Automn Afternoon). It's a quiet, intimate portrait of a japanese family in the sixties and features many scenes in restaurants or around the kitchen.

Suddenly, I was in the mood for a family-style japanese meal and cooked while having the last of my Maker's Mark whisky (since there's no Suntory left in my house).
