FLO

I loved the lunch I had the other day.

I bought the lunch set (it's like a combo meal) from FLO, a deli in EXCEL shopping mall next to Mito station. It consists of seafood quiche, vegetable salad with creamy dressing and strawberry tart and costs me only 510yen(less than $5)!

H&M

The other day, I went to H&M(Shin Misato) for the first time!

There's wide selection wich I didn't expect but I somehow prefer GAP may be because it's more casual.

However, I ended up buying the brown sweater since it was a bargain, 1000yen(about $10)! OK, you may find something similar in other shops around, but I wanted something from H&M and convinced myself that it's worth buying because its design, wide-neck(although it's turtleneck), is not like sweaters from Japanese brand.

Then I went to IKEA near H&M and got the cute wall accessary

Apple Pie

I found some Kogyoku apple at a supermarket, Kasumi in Loc city shopping mall. And I baked some easy pleasy apple pie using ready-made pie crust since my son loves it.

After cut a pie crust into 6 pieces, I put some apple fillings on the crusts and sprinke with cinnamon sugar and baked.

I like Kogyoku apple for the pie because it tastes sour.

noun + with attitude

I just re-learned a meaning of a word, attitude. One day, I listened a phrase containing "with attitude" from a radio program, and I checked them with dictionaries.

According to OXFORD Advanced Learners Dictionary, it has a meaning below:

confident, sometimes agressive behaviour that shows you do not care about the other people's opinions and that you want to do things in an individual way: a band with attitude

Oh, may be I want to be called "a house wife with attitude" (lol...)

Karinto

Things are getting settled and now I'm back to normal life.

I tried yaki(grilled or broiled) karinto from "Hana Komichi" which newly opened near my house. Karinto is a sweet, deep-fried snack whch is primaliry made of flour, brown sugar, and yeast, by the way.

I liked yaki karinto because it's healthier and has the flavor of brown sugar much more than normal deep-fried karinto.

Try some when you visit Japan.
