Shopping

Actually, I'm feeling lazy, so I'm not going to do the long post about my awesome new futon.

But, I just went grocery shopping and found some nice looking tomatoes (trust me, this is rare) for under 100 yen (this is even more rare).  So I got a couple, but I don't really have anything to eat them with...  Maybe I can find some mozzarella cheese somewhere. 

Also, they have 100% real milk.  Not quite on par with milk straight from the bulk tank at Richlo Polled Dairy, but still really good.  (Also, they do something different with their milk here that results in a strange smell.  This, however, should not be a deterrent, as the taste is amazing.)

I need to buy an electric hot plate, as it's quite obnoxious to use the one downstairs.  So I'm debating whether I should  get one that uses induction heating or a regular one.  An induction cooker is much more energy efficient, but also more costly.  In addition, it works best with pots and pans that a magnet will stick to (no, I don't know the technical reasons.  That's why there's a link).  None of my whopping 3 pans are magnetized, so I would also need to buy new pans.  Decisions, decisions...
