Sunday - Warm and sunny
A good day.
I got up this morning to an empty apartment. I worked on my computer for a while, then decided to get dressed. I even finished a book I was reading on my phone! F didn’t come back until after 1:30. We talked about going out for lunch, but I wasn’t terribly hungry. I suggested going to Subway in the mall. F liked that idea, so off we went.
In the mall, F had a ham sandwich and I had one of roast beef. It was really good. We went to the grocery store and each picked out a bottle of wine. Mine was for cooking, his was for drinking! After that, we had a drink in Doutors.
We checked out the hundred yen shop and then came home. A little later, F went over to his mother’s and walked the dog and did a few other things there. He came home again and we started to think about dinner.
I suggested going to the Nepal/Indian restaurant because I wanted some naan and curry. F said it was a good idea, but when we started out, we discussed our stomach’s conditions. Neither of us felt 100% great, so changed our minds. I suggested a Japanese/western restaurant near one of the grocery shops and F agreed, once he remembered which one I meant!
We went there and had a really good meal. F had a Japanese dish that looked really interesting, and I had a more western meal that included soup, salad and a grilled pork cutlet. We both got dessert. Because I don’t drink coffee these days, I got my coffee switched to oolong tea so I was happy.
After dinner, we bought a few groceries in the Pal shopping area and then came home. We had a quiet evening and I didn’t turn on the TV until time for Downton Abbey. It was a good episode tonight. It was Sybil’s wedding. I did a bit of crochet during the show. I’m a bit worried about my tension! I might be making the squares too big to match the other ones. Sigh.
Anyway, F went to bed a while ago and I really should go soon. I had a surprisingly enjoyable weekend. It was so nice not to fight about food for a change. In the last couple of months we’ve bought the local “foodie” magazine and have been using it as a guide to find good and new places. It has worked for us. Yay!
I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow. I have a parcel to mail and I have a few postcards I need to send as well. I’d also like to buy some train tickets, so come back and find out what I end up doing. Until tomorrow….

These days domestic foodie magazine s are published, which foucos only one city or a prefecture, which foucos sly one kind of good such as noodle or all types of foods.
They are fun. Do you have500 yen lunch passport book in your city or town?
I don't think we have a lunch passport book, but the one we buy might be similar. Many restaurants in Shonai present their special dishes, there are some coupons and it is a good way for us to find out about places in our area.
Shonai is quite a big area land-wise, but not so big people-wise!
The last magazine we bought introduced nice lunches. We've enjoyed some good meals because of the book!
Thank you for visiting :-)
