Cardcaptor Sakura - my first manga

I cooked some no-bake cookies over the weekend for the first time and they came out perfectly! I had to do a bit of guess work in the recipe and added less sugar because I had to replace peanut butter with peanut crème. Peanut crème is what’s sold here. It’s really sweet and is closer to peanut frosting. I also had to use a whole bag of oats and a packet of cocoa powder so it wasn’t very cheap to make ha. I gave one to Ichigo-sensei and she loved it. She will bring peanut butter back from her Costco trip for me!

Got to leave school early today for a meeting at the Kencho in Maebashi. K took the train with me and we caught up. His school experience sounds quite a bit different than mine. I bought a Suica pass in Takasaki station because I was sick of having to wait in lines to buy tickets everywhere. Instead you can just load money on this card. Although it’s not very useful to me where I live on the private train line, any time I travel anywhere it’ll come in handy.

We basically shared our lesson plans and talked about school in groups spilt by school level. I finally got to meet S with whom I’ve been talking a lot on facebook. We decided to hang out a bit after. My first plan was to go to the mall and buy some sneakers, but the bus schedule wasn’t really feasible. Instead we went to Animate in Takasaki. It’s a big anime/manga merchandise store. Very interesting to see what is offered over here and currently popular. I want to try to buy some posters and folders at some point. On the train there, we ran into some of S’s students and chatted with them. There were also some elementary kids and one really talkative one. He knew some crazy words like Humpty-Dumpty and octopus. He had fun talking to me. So cute. For dinner we walked to Tin’z Burger Market, an American themed burger place where the owner speaks English. The burger was amazing! Delicious. I ended up with an avocado burger and fries. Nothing like satisfying that craving.
