On Sunday, we had coffee date at Tandem; love the daruma dolls

Wikipedia: “The recipient of the doll fills in one eye upon setting the goal, then the other upon fulfilling it. In this way, every time they see the one-eyed Daruma, they recall the goal. One explanation how this custom started says that in order to motivate Daruma-san to grant your wish, you promise to give him full sight once the goal is accomplished.”

Munching on Hugo Reitzel onions “cultivated in the region of Verona and prepared with balsamic vinegar”
