...and tuna fish for lunch.

last weekend, yoshi went to his parents house. his cousin was getting married and his aunt from tokyo flew in to go to it. so, since we live near the airport, yoshi picked her up and took her to his parents' house on saturday. on sunday his mother and aunt went to the wedding (apparently on one else his family was invited. that's typically japanese). then yoshi took his aunt back to the airport on monday. i am sure that they enjoyed some family time together and maybe even an onsen or two, but it left me home alone with little hiro for two nights and i was exhausted! we didn't have the car you see, so we pretty much stayed in the whole time. when yoshi got home on monday afternoon i went out by myself. of course, i went to the coin laundry to dry some clothes, but it was so nice to go out and not have a little one hanging on me and whining...

anyway, since we were home alone, i decided to make pancakes for breakfast on sunday morning. i had a box of bisquik that i had brought from the US; those pancakes were the best i've had in some time! we both ate them in the kitchen, hiro on the floor and me standing up (yoshi would not have approved! ha) but we had to eat them nearly as soon as they were done since the kitchen was so cold. yum.

then, for lunch i had a craving for tuna fish sandwiches. so, i made some! even hiro enjoyed them although i had put onion in the mix. it's funny, i didn't have any tuna fish sandwiches when i was back home, but my first week in japan...

well, we survived the weekend, but then yoshi told me this morning that he has to spend tomorrow and the next day in kagoshima! ack, how am i going to make it??
