this and that

we saw these cuties at the big intersection outside of Tsukiji
 

their parents let us take photos of them

took a photo of this tall apartment building back in 2020

just learned they will tear it down soon...sad!

since there was a typhoon on Satoshi's birthday, I wasn't able to get him cake, so I took him to Cafe Vanni's this past Sunday

Danshari-ed (purged) my Hello Kitty collection (there were too many to upload)...Ecoring bought them for 100 yen a piece...

this was the chili I used for the potatoes

It was made in Spain

I like the flavor of this but it was a little too salty

I halved the can with Satoshi but think maybe I should add some water to dilute it next time

found another bag that lets you tear it midway I prefer crispy apples, these weren't but happy that they were from Aomori prefecture

found this camembert cheese that has bleu cheese in the middle, tasty!

pikake (jasmine) season

and gardenia (kuchinashi) season

haven’t bought ketchup in many years, used some when we ate our hash browns, will use it to make hoisin sauce chicken/pork soon

checked out a new (to me) food court near my dentist

they had Pizza Slice, the pizza I enjoyed when friend Val was in town

This slice wasn't as crisp as the one I enjoyed but was still tasty

I want to go back to try the other vendors in the food court

Sunday, Tokyo started rainy season. Apparently this year is La Niña so we started rainy season with rain

The gloomy clouds has been a bit depressing, but the cooler weather has been nice

Hope you have a safe weekend
