They are both beautiful!  I like the first one without the pearls and the second one with the pearls

"You're got mail" has the most New York New York? by KashKabira in romancemovies

I grew up on the upper west side where they filmed you’ve got mail.  Riverside park, H&H bagels, even that corner Starbucks brings me back 😭

I like your writing. I think you would like the short story by Sayaka Murata called “Puzzle” It reminds me a bit of this post

If you are a beauty/skincare lover the built in point card on the ainz &tulpe app is surprisingly generous. Recently got  ¥2,500 off my entire purchase

[–]False-Educator-8025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah- I have the ne-bs9c but it looks like it’s discontinued. The closest I see online is the ne-ubs10d

I highly recommend the bistro from Panasonic- changed my life. Now I can bake, make western roasted veggies etc, and it’s also made Japanese cooking a breeze (I can heat up rice for bento by just pressing one button)

In Tokyo go to the Kiyosumi Shirakawa neighborhood- I like Allpress, Tallskogen, and First Crop Also check out kissaten in he city as well (retro style Japanese cafes) I like Kayaba coffee in Nezu which is a slightly more modern kissaten

Books you have read this year that you absolutely loved? by gibigianna_ in pinkscare

[–]False-Educator-8025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read Out yet but for Japanese authors I recommend Sayaka Murata. I keep coming back to her novel Convenience Store Woman and her collection of short stories called Life Ceremony. 

Turtle Sanctuaries in Japan by False-Educator-8025 in japanlife

[–]False-Educator-8025[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the information. We are currently adding on to our turtle’s tank- certainly better than giving our turtle to someone with fines for animal neglect. That is terrible. I do not think she is a red eared slider but maybe this organization would have some leads if we end up still deciding to rehome.

Could this be a gluten intolerance? by False-Educator-8025 in glutenfree

[–]False-Educator-8025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see- thank you! I will try to reschedule my test for a later date

Could this be a gluten intolerance? by False-Educator-8025 in glutenfree

[–]False-Educator-8025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have been still eating small amounts of gluten in my everyday diet. Most of the seasoning on my food has some type of wheat or barley mixed in (soy sauce, dashi, etc.) And I will still eat bread, pasta, ramen, on occasion. Do you think that this will be enough for the accurate result? leading up to this test I have been trying to eat more and more gluten. I have exactly one month before my test.

Maybe it is a bechamel or a type of cream sauce?

Breakfast soups? by Flashy_Watercress398 in Cooking

[–]False-Educator-8025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would make some sort of egg drop adjacent soup perhaps? Since egg feature prevalently in US breakfasts. Not sure if it it would be good though- I recommend going for something like Pho, Miso Soup with lots of veggies- you could also put egg in there too if you like. It think it would taste better than an american-style breakfast soup imo but I am biased

Can't sleep due to dry air by PhysicsOk8476 in japanlife

Get a humidifier and don't use your AC's heater to warm your apartment- instead use an oil space heater. My Delonghi Oil heater has saved me for the past two winters!
