Every two weeks I teach a private lesson in Omiya.  Sometime in December this restaurant caught my eye.  Too busy to stop and with other food plans in hand, I put this soup shop on my calendar for after the next lesson.  It was worth the wait.  Here is a bowl of perfect broccoli cheese soup with carrots, served with a baguette and hot tea.

Sometimes when I take photos with my phone the camera does weird things. Was trying to show the radioactive green color of the candy and the wrapper, but this happened.  Needless to say, that hasn't helped my opinion on how radioactive it is. Oh, Japanese flavors...

A couple weeks ago I saw a nice cowl in a shop, but after looking at the price decided to make my own.  It's been a challenge to knit and has certainly broadened my knitting skills. Here's the work in progress.

In a moment of super-awesomeness my Nikon was left at home and the bag I carried was not my usual one so the Tamagawa fireworks photos I have were all taken with my phone.  Well then.  Not too bad for a 3MP camera.
