Tadaima!
I got back home about 10:30 last night, unpacked, had a shower, enjoyed The Best Coffee in the Multiverse, brushed my teef and had a good long sleep. This morning I got up a little late this morning (about 9am... flying in cramped quarters always makes me rather tired and sore the next day) and set to work on doing my things. Breakfast was delicious and consisted of a three egg omelette smothered in parmesan cheese, several slices of ham, some steamed vegetables, water, and another steaming cup of The Best Coffee in the Multiverse.
After that I got to doing things. So far I've finished laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the toilet and the genkan, cooking, doing dishes, wiping down the kitchen, ironing my shirts, putting away the laundry that I did before heading to Sapporo and a few other things. Then I went grocery shopping and checked out three supermarkets in the area to see which offered the best prices on foodstuffs. It turned out to be Summit, so I did my grocery shopping there, and headed home. Let me tell you just a little bit about my trip to Summit this morning:
The supermarket is split into two floors, with the registers (tills) on the main floor. Usually people head up the escalator to the second floor, get their stuff they need there, head down to the first floor, purchase more, make their payment, collect their points and head on home. On the second floor is the produce section, along with several other sections. Right next to the produce section, where they have TEN VARIETIES OF DELICIOUSLY FRESH MUSHROOMS, is the FRESH FISH section. This is where they cut, prepare and package the RAW FISH for consumption as sushi, sashimi, and more. Of course there is other seafoods such as scallops, squid, octopus, eel, shrimp, blowfish, sea urchin which we also eat raw (and cooked) and more. I must admit that I am quite glad I headed to Summit today because what I was able to enjoy was a very simple, but nice display of a 45kg maguro (tuna) head, that you can see below. I couldn't resist taking this photo.
For some strange reason at that particular moment I happened to just randomly think of my English friend "NiceButDim" (on Multiply) who is an absolute lover of FRESH FISH, especially RAW! It made me smile knowing I could do something nice for him by sharing this photo with everyone on my blogs.
So NBD, my friend, this photo is for you!
I love you!

P.S. Now it's time for lunch. I still have some accounting to do, and some other work. Then I'm going to meet Megumi outside somewhere and let her enjoy a steaming mug of The Best Coffee in the Multiverse while sharing my Sapporo adventure with her. I'm looking forward to it.
