Wednesday, October 9

Jutta and I decided that we should meet again as soon as we could. It turned out that we could meet today for lunch. We agreed on the new area in Itis.

We abandoned our attempt at trying to order Chinese street food. You weigh the ingredients and pay according to the weight while someone cooks them in the sauce of your choice. Before you weigh them you have to choose them and place them all in a basket. So by the time you weight them you have already gone past the stage where you could change your mind.

You could, I suppose, make repeated trips to have the ingredients weighed, adding a little more each time, until you reach the minimum weight, but this seemed over complex and faintly intimidating.

We decide to do something simpler and just have lunch at Sexico, where they have an easy-to-understand offer of 3 tacos and a bowl of soup. On the way out we spot a number of other taco places (including, yes, Taco Bell) and decide we should attempt a determined comparison next Spring.

Since Jutta has decided that she will drop me off on her way home I take some pictures as we leave the car park.
