☆ただいま☆ / ☆We're Home☆

Theme：blog

We left the house at a little after 1:30, and...




we went to Ebisu,



and we went to Shibuya,



and we went to Harajuku...




It was *so* hard to find something good............




I walked the whole time...




And during that time, Noa-tan.........did nothing but..................




.........sleep soundly...





But after all my walking and hard work searching, in the end...




I was able to buy some really great presents~




I hope they'll like them~~~




And after those four hours of nonstop walking, I was just a bit hungry, so......




I went and bought.........



TA-DA!









Wagashi (Japanese-style sweets)



Kuri manjuu (chestnut-shaped baked bun typically filled with a sweet white bean paste)



which I totally, totally love~








They're so cute with their chestnut shape


And inside,








the tsubuan (bean paste) also had big chunks of chestnut in it



There were also ones with、



Kurian (chestnut paste), and、



Custard



fillings~




Noa-tan went with the



Custard ,








and Non with the...








Tsubuan~




They were freshly baked and still warm -- so delicious!




I also ended up buying one more thing besides those...



It was...








more wagashi


I'm a much bigger fan of wagashi than I am of yougashi (Western-style sweets)


And inside...








Ohagi~~~ (sweet rice ball coated in some sweet topping), of the




Kinako (soybean flour), and








Anko (red bean paste), and







Sakuramochi (pink rice sweet with red bean, wrapped in salt-pickled sakura leaf)








varieties




Since we already ate the kuri manjuu before dinner, I'm going to wait to eat the ohagi until after I put Noa to bed and I can really take my time with them




Today, once again, Daddy's not here, so dinner is going to be just me and Noa





And, umm, there was something I wanted to ask you guys now...




I've got a bunch of stew left over from lunch, so I was wondering if you guys knew


some way I could take the stew and make some new dish(es) out of it?




If it's okay, I'd really like to figure something out for it, so if you know a good recipe, please, please let me know





If possible, it'd be great if it was something that Noa would be able to eat too
