Here are a couple of recent dinners worth sharing. Tonight was all deep-fried goodness: korokke and aji-furai, with two carrot dishes and a fresh salad on the side. A perfect combination.
Last night was pan-seared salmon, baked gratin, salad, and rice. It was so filling. I was happily stuffed. 😋
Mariko baked a fresh loaf of bread today. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? I picked up some sliced turkey and muenster cheese from the deli, so I’m very much looking forward to some top-tier sandwiches this week. 🥪😊
Yuzu really loves relaxing in the sunlight. Doesn’t she get too hot wearing that fur coat, though? 😄
The final episode of Spooky in Love was released today. I’ve been enjoying this K-dorama quite a bit, though I’ll admit I was ready for it to wrap up. It started out with a really fun premise, but the story drifted away from the ghost-seeing aspect toward the end and leaned more into corporate intrigue, which wasn’t quite as interesting to me. Still, Park Eun-bin was great in it, and it was a pretty different role from Extraordinary Attorney Woo or The Wonderfools. On to the next one. 😊
I started watching Lawrence of Arabia. It’s a very long film, so I’ve only made it through the first hour so far, but I’m already hooked. Those wide desert vistas are stunning, and Peter O’Toole was incredibly cool. Looking forward to finding time to finish it. 🎬
I’ve been slowly working my way through the candy and snacks we picked up at Ohmachi Shop. The actual candy inside is pretty basic, just sweet pressed sugar powder, and not particularly good. But I feel a sense of obligation to finish every one. The packaging though is really fun, very retro Japanese, and each wrapper is getting glued into the daily pages of my Hobonichi. 😄🍬
Anko, completely hidden behind the bicycle. She’s not fooling anyone though. 😄
