Making chicken soup the Japanese way

 Book: the art of Japanese Cooking 6:00 hours One mistake: mocha, or fake mocha at 6 pm. Exercise bike later also. Do not forget making porridge until past 5 am.

Also fetched packages. On a whim I bought a PRINT dictionary that is supposed to be large print but really isn't. Grrrrr
