I like this umeboshi because there isn't any fake stuff in it.
I am grateful I was able to purchase some recently, but I hope the woman who makes this umeboshi is okay, she lives in Ishikawa prefecture.
The process to help that area after the earthquake has been slow because of the access to the area, hoping they can get the help they need soon.
I carried it home gingerly and still, look at it "leaning"
Somehow the raspberry flavor didn't match with the milk chocolate flavor either...bummer.
Wednesday, the lady that lives in the apartment building across the street from our building, was harrassing our building cleaning lady by making several trips with her dustpan and throwing dried leaves in our lobby.
backstory: the lady across the street often yells, for reasons unknown, and I have seen the police at her building several times.
she’s yelled at the people who live in the house next door and even someone who lives in our building when a car dropped them off in front of her building
It's not the first time she's harassed our building cleaning lady, apparently the cleaning lady before the one we have now was also harrased by this lady
I felt bad I didn't say anything to the bully, but I was also afraid of retaliation.
I couldn't report or block it, so I just deleted it.
Luckily many friends on FB checked for me, it was a phishing thingy, am debating deleting my FB account, it isn’t the same as when I first joined…
changing the subject...apparently FIL’s 17th memorial is this year.
BIL emailed Satoshi with 3 dates to choose from in March: 9th, 16th or 30th.
So Satoshi chose the 30th.
BIL emails back and says, “you know what? since it’s gonna be expensive for you guys to come to Kyoto, we’re just gonna have the service on the 16th, if you can come, fine, if not, fine, WT?!
We still plan to go, but like why even ask us to choose a date?!
Is it full moon? so many krazy things happening…
have a safe weekend
I'm surprised that the raspberry didn't match the chocolate. Sounded like it would be a great match. I had been reading about the Takashimaya Christmas cakes that were all smashed so thought maybe you got this from them too, LOL.
ReplyDeleteSad about the neighbor. She surely has some kind of mental problem and difficult to do anything about. I hope it doesn't escalate to violence. Be safe!
This seems so early for ume to be blooming. I hope I'll be able to see them in late February.
Your ume takikomi gohan is one of my favorite recipes. Are your ume on the sweeter side? or more supai? I usually have the 5% one but was kind of wondering how the rice would taste if I used the more sour one. (LOL, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.)

Be careful with that pupule lady Kat! Sounds like she needs some help.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world do they tear down houses that are packed so tightly together?! And, yah, best not to intimidate the crazy lady.
ReplyDeletemy ume is more sour V, hope you like it if you try it :)
ReplyDeleteKirk, haven't seen her for several days now...
Jalna, so krazy but amazing how they do it.
Take care everyone.
