Random Wordplay for Wednesday 12/28/11

Izakayas.

Used in a sentence: "I guess it goes to show you how much I happily eat at home as I was completely oblivious but happy to learn a new word when I saw 2011's five hottest dining trends -- one of which was the spread of Izakayas (sake-centric Japanese small-plates eateries)."

It sounds like something to try out (after all, I do enjoy tapas as a meal plan) -- although I've had octopus and miso each only once fixed Japanese-style and didn't like them, so I'm not sure what my selections would be. And sake links to ouzo when my mind plays word association -- to which my only exposure was pretending to have drunk it in excess in the climax of Barefoot in the Park back in my acting heyday at LVC (shout-outs to my drunk acting ouzo partner in crime, Sarah T and my fellow Barefootians Shawn W and Brigette C -- looking forward to the 20th anniversary of that production coming up next year in my Friday flashbacks)!

And, to close the loop on this randomness, we could all toast with Japanese Sapporo (something I do enjoy ...)
