Summer Adventures: Dinner with a friend

My friend M used to work at the bank in town, but she moved a couple of years ago. She was back to fill in for someone, so she asked if I wanted to go out for dinner. 
Mちゃんは前時に町の信金に働いた。最近もう1日に信金で働いたから、一緒に晩御飯へ行った。

We decided to go out to Lake Kanayama first, because the day before, I had seen pictures on a friend's Facebook page and the flowers were still gorgeous. 
最初に金山湖へ行った。前の日に友達のFacebookできれい花の写真を見た。

Unfortunately, the photos must have been taken more than just a day before. The sunflowers were rather sad. 
でも、前の日に写真を撮らなかったかもしれない。ひまわりはかわいそう。

The lavender was still purple, but at the end of it's time.

After the lake, we decided to go out for dinner at a cafe called Berries. It's a cute little shop, in the middle of nowhere.

When we got there, there was no one in the cafe.

I love their big windows. 
このカフェの大きい窓が大好き!

We ordered the Paella. It came with a bit of bread and a salad.

You know you've been in Japan too long when . . . (2)

You know you've been in Japan too long when, salad seems like a perfectly acceptable addition to breakfast, even though you have bananas. 

バナナがあるけど、朝ご飯にサラダを食べることがいい時に日本に長過ぎていることが分かる。


This was Friday's breakfast after finding leftover salad in the fridge from the night before. 
前の晩ご飯に友達はこのサラダ食べなかったから、金曜日に冷蔵庫に見つけた。

A Lazy Bento

Yesterday, I remembered that today was bento day at 5pm in a supermarket in Sapporo. Thankfully there were a lot of food choices. I bought bread and the stuff to make a salad.
昨日札幌のスーパーで「明日は弁当の日」思い出した。札幌のスーパーではたくさん食べ物があるから大丈夫だった。パンとサラダの物が買った。

I got home at 9pm and didn't care to put much effort into making a bento.
9時に帰った。弁当を作りたくなかったけど、作った。

Here is what my bento looked like today.
今日の弁当。

Bread and salad with pecans and basil dressing.
パンとサラダ。

I thought I was buying whole wheat bread, instead I got “black sugar” bread. It tasted like maple syrup. It was good, but didn't exactly go with basil dressing.
全麦パンが買ったと思ったけど、黒砂糖パンが買った。 メープルシロップ味があった。 美味しかったけど、ベジャールドレシングがあった。

As much as I didn't want to make a bento yesterday, I was glad today was bento day when I saw today’s lunch menu. Natto. Bento day for the win!
昨日作りたくなかったけど、今日の給食はなっと。弁当の方が美味しかった!
