Pikake & Pearls: Helen & Randy’s Website

Hello everybody!  Happy Spring :)  Got this from the post office recently.  Isn’t it cute?  I love simple and pretty designs…

Our picture stickers are made by MOO Designs in London, a company that works with Flickr.  They remind me of pikakura in Japan but the stickers aren’t as cute or creative since we had to order them online.  But they are made of good quality paper—thick and glossy—and they don’t seem to fade over time.  I’ve already used some on my credit cards (good for photo ID) and they don’t rub off like the Japanese picture stickers.  $10 for 90 stickers!

For dinner we decided to satisfy our craving for anything Japanese, so we made okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes) on our stove.  Unlike New York City where one can find ramen, takoyaki, Beard Papa’s, and okonomiyaki, Boston is limited, but luckily we found okonomiyaki-making kits in Don Quijote in Hawaii and brought them back.  We found okonomi sauce in Porter Square and finally tonight was the night that we make our own!  It was soooo good :)
