Greetings dear Chroniclers,

Are you keeping cool (or warm if you're in winter time)? We got a break from the heat today, so I snuck outside for a short walk this morning.

Quick house update: We pushed hard to get our den back together and made it in time for game day! Yay! And I think it looks even better than it did before we had the water damage.

Japan Trivia - Food!

One of my favorite things about Japan is the fabulous bakeries. Seriously amazing!

In Japanese they're called パン屋 (panya). Pan from the Portuguese word for bread and 屋 (ya) for shop/house/seller. The Portuguese arrived in Japan in 1543 and traded with Japan until 1639, when Japan closed to the West.

I do my best to be adventurous food wise and Japan's bakeries never disappoint. On my 2017 trip, we stopped at a little French style panya. I saw a curry cheese donut. While I was skeptical, I was also too curious not to try it. I'm so glad it did. This was one of my favorite things we tried on the trip.

Curry cheese donut. Try them if you find them!

Obligatory Ferret

Pocky munching on salmon, his favorite treat ever! (I always save some for my little carpet sharks when I cook it. And it's really good for them.)
