I’m making Red Bean Mochi today from the Ode to Japan volume of Kinfolk. While I’m waiting for my red beans to simmer and absorb all the water (hopefully it will, as right now there’s still a lot of water sloshing about in the pot) here are the rest of the photos from the boo’s trip to London. Let me just put on the record that Kinfolk volume 8 is my favourite Kinfolk volume so far; there’s just something about Japanese language, food and culture that is just so softspoken and gentle.
I’m having a little bit of a writer’s block today on account of going through a bout of mid-week blues and so I can hardly wrack my brain for anything to write. Which is a shame because London is such a wonderful place; and the United Kingdom in general is such a beautiful place. I suppose I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves then.
Being schooled on a British curriculum for most of my education, we did our math in pounds and pennies and learned more about English history than our own home country’s history (blasphemy I know), and therefore the UK has always held an intense draw for me. I wanted to see all the places I read about and experience the whole British culture for myself. UK is the boo’s favourite country in the whole wide world and he’s lucky for having visited it. This is London through his eye and through his camera lens.
