I wonder how Ron is doing... remember Ron? Our apartment dog from last year? He was such a sweet doogy - dirty, but cute. That's one thing you won't ever see in Japan - a stray dog. Anyways, he was getting on in his years, and I hope he's still as happy as he could be - fed, spoiled and loved (mostly) by a building of Romanians.
We had an AMAZING dinner last night - in full Greek style, there was food food food and more food. After a morning at the UNU library, Nao and I met in Shimokitazawa for a wander, some shopping and a delicious coffee before meeting up with Steve in Nakameguro for a rainy ride home. As soon as we got home we launched into dinner prep - on the menu: Greek potatoes (think lemons, olive oil and garlic - yummmmy), stove-top souvlaki, tsatsiki and a massive salad (tomats, cucs and feta... yum). We made, we ate and then... we made more. The only recipes we've tried from Whitewater Cooks are desserts - this time it was white chocolate hazelnut brownies... seriously. It was a total team effort with all three cooks on the go, melting, chopping, stirring, and folding, and then our medium-sized oven did the rest of the work. It took a little longer than expected, but after an hour of bake-it and 10 minutes of cool-it-down (the recipe called for a complete cool-it), we gluttoned - it was delish. And now, it's time for me to work it all off at the pool. Eek.
We are getting SO EXCITED for the Olympics! I am so happy that we have the slingbox - we are loving all of the pre-Olympic stuff, and most of the commercials are awesome too. We'll watch the opening ceremonies live tomorrow morning - hopefully we can carry some of the good vibes into F. C. Tokyo's weekend games. We'd love to be in Vancouver for the tourney (I even looked at flights the other day - eek), but I guess we'll have to settle for home games in Tokyo. Not a bad second - we're cheering for one Japanese team and for all Canadians, competing at home... yeeaaaah!
