My friend came to visit my house over dinner.
I had been thinking what to cook for dinner throughout the day today.



I had a lot of dishes in my mind



I couldn't cook everything today,
so I am going to save those ideas for next time
I asked her to come over for dinner again




She bought us taro & greem tea cakes
She called the green tea cakes as "green tea flakies"
but she is not sure what it's called.






They were sooo nice
but I forgot to take photos...



Anyway, long time no cooking for someone else
Felt so good


No lonely dinner tonight.
