Today we went to Chapters, which is a giant book store here. Sometimes we just go there to look around when we're bored, and today was one of those days. But today we finally found something good there, one that I can learn from. It is for me to learn Kanji, which I can read maybe 4 characters of right now (月，一，二，三). How sad is that?
I can read katakana pretty well, but no hiragana either. So when we were in Okinawa and I tried to read the newspaper, all I could read were the words in katakana, which were not very many. So my goal next time we go to Japan is for me to be able to read some of the newspaper, and the menu at a restaurant.



We also went to Walmart (just like every week it seems) and I finally got a BBQ cover. Since we put the new BBQ outside this week I have been a bit paranoid that it would snow and the pipes would start leaking when the snow melted and rusted the metal. Luckily it didn't snow this week (!) so I got a cover today.

At the food store we grabbed a bunch of salmon (raised on the farm, the ocean is too far away for fresh fish to come here). I am going to try to cook it on the BBQ tonight, don't know how that will turn out. But I know Nadu doesn't care how it turns out, fish is fish, dammit!

The fish turned out great. Cooked 2 filets on aluminum foil with garlic, onions and lemon juice, and 2 filets right on the grill with just salt and pepper. Both were awesome. So juicy and tasty, kicks the crap out of cooking fish in the oven.
