Customize your order

It has been years since I tried a ramen dish.  We went to Sansotei Ramen restaurant, they have a number of locations in the city.  We had a couple of Tonkotsu ramen dishes along with an order of fried chicken.  You can customize your order requesting how salty you want your ramen dish, choose  your noodle thickness and texture.  We just ordered regular everything.  It was delicious, a simple classic formula that has worked for centuries I imagine.

Hello Kitty Bags

 

My sister and her husband are travelling in Asia and are now in Japan.  She sent a photo of these 'Hello Kitty' bags she saw in Kyoto. I am wondering about that one that looks like a plant.  Why?

Oh sorry Elkes noticed it is just a decorative plant in the middle!

The unbloomed amaryllis

 So on March 20 the first day of spring I was being overly efficient and decided to cut the spent bloom off my star amaryllis plant, only to realize I also cut off an unbloomed stem!  My only choice was to wait to see if the cut stem could still bloom after I placed it in a vase with water as pictured.  I was mad at myself

So here it is on March 22nd, two days later.  I think it will bloom fully!
