I had breakfast at A Happy Pancake.
Like the otter cafe it’s popular so you should get a reservation for it.
But I stumbled up to it ten minutes before it opened and got in.
I had an egg and cheese omelette and three of their specialty pancakes, which were nothing like any pancakes I’ve had before. Very light and airy with meringue but not like a Dutch baby.
Now I’m back at Teramachi (shopping arcade that intersects with Nishiki food market). This is where I played with otters yesterday.
There’s a record store here I want to check out then there’s a capsule toy machine I want to hit “Villain Yummy “ where the take the visual motif of a classic Disney villain and turn it into a dessert in tiny plastic form. Like the top of Maleficent’s head as a cake.
David, Japanese pancakes are a wonder all their own!
I hope you know how much joy your reporting from Japan is giving at a time when it is sorely needed.
brenda, THE GLOBE!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Inam also low-key crushing on said coworker.
I worked at the library today—which is joy. But I have a cold, which is not. Story time in a mask for the win!
I am demoralized by events. Are Fridays going to be trauma-inducing news dumps for the rest of this unholy administration????
Iam also low-key crushing on said coworker.
I took a friend to a Cubs game 10 years ago and he happened to be next to us (company tix) and she *still* asks about him.
Boarded my flight and two rows behind me is the uber toxic owner of my last company. He seemed very discombobulated that i was here and in a better (further front anyway ) seat.
“You’re going to …London??? On this plane?”
He did name drop that he’s off consulting with Cambridge and Oxford.
I could honestly not be more delighted at this turn of events.
That is hilarious, brenda!
“You’re going to …London??? On this plane?”
Bwah!
I got some Disney Villain Yummy capsule toys. But not the one I wanted the most! Dangit. That's how they get you.
I'm thinking about trying to get tickets to this show tonight. It's nearby: [link]
That looks very cool David!
we will need a full report on your experience!
That looks very cool David!
I'm thinking...Steampunk Anime Blue Man spectacle.
I saw the Blue Man Group at the Astor Place Theater circa 1993. They just had their last performance in NYC last night.
