One thing we loved in Japan was the milk bread toast we had for breakfast. I attempted to replicate it at home.
I need to find a shokupan so I can actually get a full square loaf of bread. My bread was a little too small to hold the egg. Wish I had thought of this before we left Japan.
I'm not sure how they manage to cook it through without burning. We'll have to figure that out.
I also regret not buying matcha in Japan. Thankfully I found some at an Asian market. I also had to watch a bunch of videos to figure out how to make matcha. Once you figure it out, it's pretty easy.
I cleared the rink and resurfaced it for one more weekend out on the backyard rink.
The ice wasn't perfect, but it was just fun to be out there with Theo.
Meanwhile, Meadow and I walked over to our local thrift store.
Meadow found herself a cute hat.
Too bad these weren't in my size.
I've been eyeing a pair of those for years.
Once in awhile Theo remembers he has toys.
But he'd rather be playing hockey or video games.
The ice wasn't perfectly smooth.
I tried doing a trick and fell. Gosh it hurts to fall when you're older. Theo came over to check on me.
Going to miss backyard rink season.
Theo and Meadow had forgot about the lemons in our fridge. So we had to make a little batch of lemonade with the lemons that survived the trip to Tokyo.
Our trip to Japan was way cheaper than we expected. We weren't sure we'd do a spring break trip this year and then decided to go for it. I picked up some books at the library to plan for our next RV road trip.
We hadn't been to the science museum in a while, so why not make it a night over in St. Paul.
Theo would just come to the museum to do this the whole time if we let him.
They play it every single time.
It was getting too late to make dinner at home and Scott has been itching to go to Mickey's Diner again. There was a state wrestling tournament at the Treasure Island Arena. I was expecting it to be packed, but we scored ourselves a table right away.
We had went here right before COVID, but hadn't been back since. It closed during the pandemic and then never reopened until this past year.
I was clearly excited to be back. Oh and I fell this week on my right eye. I had a big shiner.
The menu had changed a little bit.
It wasn't quite the same, but it's just nice having it open.
Once we saw the bill we were a little sad to not be in Japan anymore. Makes me not want to eat out as much.
That's not new. Ha.
