this and that

Tried Omma Foods' bi bim kook soo yesterday...618 yen (tax included)

The woman working there asked if it was spicy was I okay with that, I told her as long as it wasn't too spicy.

When I opened the container, it looked really spicy but it wasn't and I enjoyed the different veggies that were on top.

The noodles were chewy and had a nice pull to it.

I want to try their kimbap next.

Tokyo, as well as the rest of Japan's case numbers have exploded because the latest variant is krazy and our boosters that we received earlier in the year are now less effective

Yesterday Tokyo's was 8000 something and two days before it was 5000 something..eep!

The frustrating thing is a lot of us want to get our 4th vaccine, but the government has only approved it for those 60 years + and those at risk…so a lot of those in the medical field haven’t gotten boosted…gah!

There is an election this Sunday and a lot of things will apparently be decided depending on their results…boo!

Over the week, just like the weather dude said, we went back to rainy season but are again headed for sunny temps this weekend.

Actually there was a typhoon (Aere) approaching earlier in the week, but it turned into a tropical depression, or something like that.

Hope you are doing well.

Have a safe weekend.

bibimkooksu looks so ono. I had a little banchan left over from my samgyeopsal so I mixed that with some kimchi and rice and egg for bibimbap for lunch today. I even tried to koge the rice to make a fake stone pot bibimbap.

The bi bim kook soo looks so delicious.
The covid count here in Hilo is high, too. The BA.5 variant is crazy!!! Interesting that in Japan you have to be 60+ and those who are high risk, to get the second booster. Here the age is 50+ and high risk. It's one time I glad to be old. Hopefully, they will change the rule soon so you and Satoshi can get your second booster.
So sad to hear about former PM Abe.
