Beautiful photography. And chocolate - yum! 

Liz, you know I thought about you as I was buying the brioche. There is no bad food. I wish I could share it with you. You had a rough week. 

What a beautiful still life you've created Fritzy. Everything looks delicious! 🌈 

Fleur, thank you. I didn’t know what to do with the stuff I inherited from my mother. Vintage Sango china, tea ceremony kits, Japanese wooden tray, cast iron teapot… so I decided to use them in photos. I am also very fond of kilims. 

This is just such a beautiful presentation! 😍 

KAGrimm thank you, I do have a tendency to make a huge production out of nothing🤣🤣 

Try Traders Joe dark cocoa chocolate 72% is really good and not that much calories. 

The matcha gets me more excited than the brioche. Craving a bento of sashimi. 😪 

Some of the folks posting pics of sashimi & seafood makes me green with envy. I have to go to restaurant depot to get some serious fish. 

Looks so zen. Love it! Your teapot is also lovely.  

Happycamper, I was planning a carb celebration week next week. Your 72% chocolate made the list. Thank you. Trader Joe’s is a dangerous place to hang out though, I was hooked on some of their candies😱 

I wish we had Aldi's!😢 

ACB, it’s weird but I don’t miss sashimi or sushi. Maybe because I used to waitress at a sushi restaurant? If you ask me, I choose 蝦餃 and 魚翅羹 over sushi any day.  

mewgirl, these days you can get cast iron teapots at Teavana or World Market, if you are interested. Comes in colors too, really cute. Mine is a bit older and straight from Japan. 

Diana, Aldi is growing on me but their produce section is not so great. You also need to bring your own grocery bag😫 BTW how’s your mother? Being a nonagenarian is very, very hard. Please don’t be discouraged, it just takes for a while for her to recover from the recent setback. She is beautiful and looks like quite a strong lady. 

I have a cast iron pot too... but I don't use it often. They are so nice to have and make tea with.  

mewgirl, same here, I rarely use it.  

Mindful portions🤙 

Yfritz, thanks for asking. My mom is good one day, weak the next day. To be expected I guess...we are leaving Saturday to go back home and will return in 2 weeks for her 94th birthday. 💜💜💜💜 

Will have to go to Aldi now, never been there. Thanks Yfritz!👍💕
