this and that

This lychee bar used Okinawan salt and 12% lychee fruit juice...this was really refreshing.
 

Replanted the blood orange...its root were coming out of the bottom of the pot and the leaves were turning yellowish!

Need to buy a little more soil to fill up the pot...

black sesame banana soy milk smoothie from Vie de France...I should've drank it at the bakery, but walked all the way home...so I added some ice when I got home

You can choose between milk or soy milk, I chose soy milk

Loved that this was sweet only from the banana.

Would get this again.

Akita ice cream...Chigama ice...Satoshi said this was like sherbet

We had this after seeing the movie "Kokuho", sat in the balmy shade and enjoyed this

I chose the chocolate banana...eat fast, this drips!

Yesterday I had my yearly physical, I usually try to make the appointment for the morning, but when Satoshi called for me they only had afternoon times, so I was hangry by the time I finished at 13:45

if I did eat something it was supposed to be a piece of bread with nothing on it or udon without any seasoning, no milk, eggs, sugar or fats and it had to be done by 7:00...

I decided to drink a cup of almond milk, for some protein...oh and I had to stop drinking water 2 hours before my appointment, but with the heat being as brutal as it is now, I stopped an hour before my appointment instead of the 2 hours...hoping my numbers will be okay...

This was my lunch...cold brew, pastrami broccoli sandwich and a doughnut at Vie de France

This pineapple soda bar had 30% pineapple juice, was delicious and refreshing!

guess what I found on my blood orange...guess I missed this one,  I wonder if that was what the pigeon was checking out...

I think I might cut the leaf when it turns to a chrysalis so we can see what kind of butterfly/moth it will be

This morning I checked and it had already turned into a chrysalis, and is positioned pretty well between the branch and the leaves, so Satoshi suggested we just let it do its thing outside...hope to see it when it turns into a butterfly/moth

yesterday was 7.10 = natto day...for our bakudan bowls, I had purchased this maguro with avocado from the supermarket, it came with this spicy sauce and egg sauce in those genius packets that you can find in Japan...the packet squeezes out both sauces out at the same time...

The spicy sauce seemed like a kochujang type and the egg sauce was a oozy egg type

Last night we had a major thunder lightning and rain storm...luckily Satoshi came home before it really poured

Some areas of Tokyo flooded with the krazy downpour

3rd peach of the summer...way better than the last time I posted about peaches.

How's this blingy beetle?! when I passed by in the morning, I took this photo, but on my way home, I noticed it got squooshed...boo!

Oh, I forgot to mention that at the beginning of July, the property management changed the name of our apartment building...as V suggested maybe the owner changed...anyway, what p.i.t.a.

Hope you have cooler weather than we do, have a safe weekend.
