If life gives you 3 ripe bananas and 2 children crying for cupcakes, you make banana cupcakes. Banana cardamom cupcakes with poppy seed on top.  

Buon giorno! Brunch at Drogheria Sancricca with twins. Maritozzo dolce, whipped & custard cream with hazel nut cream on brioche bread, just arrived as we were ordering. I got 2 and off course twins loved them! I had my cappuccino and tuna salad sandwich. Pickles came with the sandwich was awesome!

  I just couldn't walk pass it. Amber ice cream and iced tea along with a sample chocolate at Summerbird. It was nice sitting in the outside as the weather started cooling off. Bye bye summer. https://www.summerbird.jp/

Wanting to get away from the crowd, I opened the door of this beautiful restaurant. Despite the busy lunch hour, they offered me a big private room for a single lunch. It made me feel like having a short trip out of Tokyo. I think I need it once in a while. Today's lunch: yellowback seabream and striped bonito sashimi, sea eel and maitake mushroom tempra, farmer's salad, ICHIHOMARE rice, and soba with grated daikon radish Echizen style. 人混みから離れたくて、ふと見かけたこちらの素敵なお店へ。忙しいお昼の時間にもかかわらず、たまたま空いていた個室で贅沢に一人ランチ。ちょっとした旅行気分。こういうのも必要だな。 本日の御膳「秋の日差し」メッキ鯛とスジガツオのお造り、穴子と九頭竜舞茸の天ぷら、福井　農園サラダ、いちほまれ、越前おろし蕎麦 https://www.aoyama-bouyourou.com/ Entrance A little garden 本日の御膳「秋の日差し」メッキ鯛とスジガツオのお造り、穴子と九頭竜舞茸の天ぷら、福井　農園サラダ、いちほまれ、越前おろし蕎麦　 Today's lunch: yellowback seabream and striped bonito sashimi, sea eel and maitake mushroom tempra, farmer's salad, ICHIHOMARE rice, and soba with grated daikon radish Echizen style

Off course first time after the lockdown. Hope they can use some of my hair... ヘアドネーションのために髪を切りに行きました。少しでも使えると良いな。 And the blog by my hair dresser: https://ameblo.jp/ur-hairmake/entry-12627217508.html
