this and that

Finally tried Shohei Ohtani’s favorite yogurt, made by Iwaizumi, a maker in Iwate, the prefecture that he is from.

It was a little more tart and a little more expensive than the brand we usually buy.

But I'm glad that they has this smaller size, the size I had orginally found at the stores was huge and a pouch type.

If I see this version in the stores, I’ll get it again

I had a coffee float, this had way too much ice in it though
Satoshi had the chocolate parfait.

1st time making stuffed tomato

I cooked the filling before stuffing the tomatoes.

Since our tomatoes weren’t too big, I also baked the filling that didn’t fit in another bowl

Minced chicken breast, onion, rice, carrot, red bell, herbes des provence and cheese

I put the tomato “innards” into the bowl with the extra filling

Would make this again

Bought myself a new frying pan, the one I bought in Hawaii a couple of years back was junk, there is a rivet on the inside of the pan that is not non-stick so everything sticks to it.

This one is a little heavier, but so far it is good, just takes awhile to warm up, so gotta give it more time.

It is the start of Golden Week...not sure what we'll do, but Satoshi does have a few days off here and there

Have a safe weekend.

I love how so many houses and apartments have a little garden growing in front no matter how small the space.
I think a lot of areas around here, the plants get stolen. Even had a bunch of stuff stolen from my yard and I don't live on an "open" street.

Stuffed tomatoes look delish. But they're so expensive. The wisteria is so gorgeous. A lot of montsuki feature wisteria. N

V, some houses have their plants stolen here too, they often have signs in front saying "we're watching you" :) Take care, Kat

Thanks N! I think some kamon (family crests) are wisteria :) Take care! Kat

Lovely wisteria Kat! I know of several businesses that are doing cash only because of credit card fees.
