Happy V Day

A little late, I know, but what's that cliche again? Everyday is Valentine's Day, that's right.

Anyhow. The brother wanted to have a picnic breakfast with the girlfriend. Took the opportunity to try out the tofu/avocado dressing from Harumi's Japanese Cooking.

That's the pale green lump in the corner. I think two tablespoons of mayo is too much, especially since Jap mayo has a really distinctive taste compared to tofu and avocado which are mild in comparison.

I love scrambled eggs.

Went to Meidi-ya to get Jap pudding for dessert. The strawberry is a special for Valentine's. It tastes exactly like strawberry milk.

I was so arrested by the fact that they have different expressions on the peel-off lid, I spent quite a while checking all the containers in the open fridge. I suppose I looked like some really anal person. You know, the kind who digs all the way into the back of the shelf to get the supposed freshest or nicest-looking item.

The brother bought flowers for the girlfriend. Either he or the florist really knows what he/she's doing, as they were quite pretty. Not that insipid bouquets aren't as sweet but honestly, if you're the kind that dislikes insipid bouquets, the fact that you received an insipid bouquet does diminish the pleasure a little.
