Yuri and i made chocolate chip cookies. Yuri cracked the egg. Her nose has tape on it because she fell down the day before and scraped it.
Japanese kitchens don’t have ovens. In the background are a toaster oven and a microwae. I intend to try baking in both of those and see which works better.
Emily just ate some cookie dough and is looking for more.
Putting dough on the microwave plate. The microwave actually had a convection oven mode that worked out OK for baking cookies. The toaster oven did not work well; it was too hot and didnt’ have a temperature control.
Taste testing: the most important part.
Ryou-kun really wants that egg.
A walk in the park. We took Yuri to lots of places around Japan. So when Yuri was at kindergarten, we took Emily to the park.
Emily likes slides.
Emily didn’t get a proper nap earlier. So late afternoon she came over and fell asleep on me.
Emily picked up Yuri’s school stuff. It was kind of heavy for her, but she carried it around for awhile.
My last morning in Japan, in the car taking Yuri to her kindergarten bus stop.
Last picture of the kids.
From the bus to the airport.
The foods i brought back. Bottom row includes a box of Kellogg’s matcha cereal!
This flight of Kit-Kats were among the things i brought home. Clockwise from top left: matcha, hojicha, wasabi, baked.
