August 29th Lisa Eats a Fizzy Pepsi Cheeto

Dear loyal follower...Melissa (because apparently I have only one actual Follower according to my blog statistics)!  Things are going well here in Tokyo, better than last week! (No deaths or near deaths like last week for which we are grateful!)  Our real estate agent is staying in touch with us regularly and trying hard to find us a building for the church. Nothing is done quickly in Japan but with much thought and deliberation before hand. There is actually a Japanese proverb that says that if you are in a hurry take the slow route because hurrying can cause mistakes to happen! (It's true! Anytime I've tried to get Gary to hurry faster for something he goes slower!!!!)

The weather has finally let up some, cooler evenings and less humidity so it all helps. There's even been a couple times when we didn't need to run the air conditioner which will be even nicer with the electric bill!

On to food!!!


Gary and I made it by one of our preferred bakeries in Fuchu this week. It's a bit far from home so we don't get there too often. We did pick up a couple of our favorite breads and enjoyed them the next morning with coffee for breakfast.  I like a big eggy French toast like bread. 

 

 

And Gary likes what I call Crown Bread...I have no idea what it really is called!

 

The other day I decided to make a new Kakuni recipe.

 

 I've made it before but I had a new low-fat one that has three times as many steps to it but looked good. I got the recipe from one of my favorite you tube  Japanese recipe cooks.  Here is the video I used.

 

It's funny because the site is called Cooking with Dog... which is either a very clever play on a stereotype...or just an unfortunate choice of names! Lol  It features a lady who cooks while her dog watches!

 

To top off the food section we have the new cheeto flavor, Fizzy Pepsi!

 

Let's see what I think about this new flavor...
