Laundry and Japanese Cake

Today, I finally had a chance to finish off the laundries from my 24 days trip.  This one week has been pretty busy; back to work, sorting up the souvenirs, cleaning the house, catching up with friends, talking to my family on the phone…

I turned on the washing machine 3 times today and all the clothes are dry and clean now:)  That’s the thing that I like about summer in Perth, it rarely rains and no moisture in the air (very dry).  Even jeans or thick winter jackets get dried in 10~20 mins!  

While I was finishing up the laundry, those clothes reminded me of cold, snowing days in Japan.  It seems like the trip was ages ago as it’s very hot summer here and my brain can’t imagine that I was in the winter just few weeks before.

Thinking about Japan, suddenly I felt like eating some Japanese.  Something that I can recall my memory in Japan.  Then, I started making some Maccha (Japanese green tea) mini cakes.

Same recipe as Blueberry Cupcakes , just change the blueberry to Maccha powder 🙂

The bitterness of Maccha was perfect to me.  Enjoyed with yuzu orange condiment.  After that I called my house to chat with family 🙂
