Oh hai Friday Finds followers! I know there are some of you out there, eagerly awaiting the spoils of my internet trawling. At least I think there are?! I admit, I haven’t been surfing lately – it’s been hard, with real life here in Tokyo distracting me with all of its deliciousness.
We’ve been eating loads of fluffy pancakes, because they’re so FLUFFY! I think I’m addicted. Mike, not so much. He says he likes his pancakes to be crispy on the top and bottom and fluffy in the middle. There are definitely no crispy parts on the pancakes that are dominating the scene right now in Tokyo. They’re more like soft soufflé piles of fluff: there’s barely any contrast between the insides and outsides. I thought I wouldn’t be into them, but I’m very very much so in love. I can’t wait until I go home and figure out how to make them. In the meantime, please enjoy these Friday Finds!
Oh, and I wanted to wish my dear sister from another mister, Alana a very happy birthday! Wishing you all the best dear :)

- I think everyone might have a lil Aggretsuko in them.
- Not quite sure what I think about this…
- This is just the kind of taste testing I can get behind!
- I haven’t started watching the latest season of Top Chef yet, but this lil vid of Padma reminds me that I need to, stat.

Link Love:
- These black sesame morning buns – I wanna fall asleep in them in the best way possible.
- Mini cheese danishes: so you can have five instead of one!

I’ve got my eyes on you:

Hi Steph! Thanks for sharing the link to the Padma video. I don’t watch Top Chef, but I read and LOVED her memoir ‘Love, Loss, and What We Ate’ in January. So incredibly brave and moving. I learned so much. Highly recommended!
