Thought it would rain the whole day like what the weather station forecasted yday, but it didnt. Well but it was cloudy cloudy cloudy and really strong winds through the afternoon, so the 2 of us decided to just chill out & relax at home...

a typical lazy afternoon at home... my favourite frozen blueberry blended yoghurt & Js afternoon coffee dose blended with chocolate milk & ice... & the tellie remote control

This was us warming up at lunch with ogikubo’s famous ramen bought from the supermart (yup the new mart brings in quite a types of ramen from reputable stalls around tokyo area & we r loving the variety!), roast pork slices from Satou’s at kichijoji, and...

home made melting eggs

Dinner was...Foil baked snapper with ginger and shiitake in shoyu butter, topped with ume.
with lots of garlic and white asparagus under the fish fillet, this dish was simple yet full of flavour~and with the remaining roast pork slices, made a simple corn soup with vegetables and soya beans. Wow never knew this combination could be so yummy! bursting with the sweetness of this season’s corn @.@

salad made with the season’s blessing of yummy leaf lettuce, young potatoes, tossed with young onions, tuna, sweet peas and aiko mini tomatoes.

And...

Melons r in season too!!! So, for dessert, the very chilled rock melons were simply satisfying~~~

I used to think melons were crazily high priced in Japan since the first time i saw those gems were that of an artisan fruit shop. costing an average of 10,000yen (abt USD100). i had thought it was impossible for the average household to enjoy those melons till i started living here and realised, hey, the supermart has more humane prices! bought one and tried last summer and was bowled over by the juicyness and sweetness of the melons! just one slice and u will b satisfied for a very long time. hehe the 2 of us usually have 2 slices each time. simple luxury. =)
