Of all the things I've learned from this blog (ok, "learned"), I think my favorite is using chopsticks to eat salad. WHY I never thought of this before you mentioned it, I have no idea. It's brilliant. It solves so many eating-salad problems.
And yaaayyy for getting the Japanese cookbook!

Chopsticks and knives are the two essentials to my kitchen. It might be a trifle more difficult to cook and eat without forks and spoons and spatulas and things, but it would be possible. There is nothing that cannot be eaten or cooked with those three (cos chopsticks are two) implements. I always serve salad with chopsticks. That whole big-fork-and-big-spoon thing is so awkward.
One mildly interesting thing about Japanese food - I grew up with the Osaka version, apparently, cos that's where my mom's from. Tokyo food, which is what's typically available at restaurants in the US, is never quite *right* to me. I do have a few comfort-food dishes I make occasionally... *is prompted to figure out if she actually brought the recipes with her to faraway places where she finds herself now...*
