Mon 22 Sep- a trip to the dentist

Mon 22 Sep- we had a light breakfast: coffee, cereal with banana slices, fresh prunes and dried figs. Kiyomi's tooth had lost its crown several days ago, so we visited the local dentist (about 50 meters from our apartment, just through the old city gate). Kiyomi was very impressed with her expertise and sensitivity. We stopped by the library on the way back to check email and return the borrowed book.
Kiyomi fixed the vegetables, tuna and octopus we bought yesterday, and we had a delicious seafood lunch.
After lunch we went to the clinic to have Stan's PT/INR done, but found they only do the test in the morning and cannot keep the sample overnight. The clinic is in Rijeka near the huge supermarket like Costco named Kaufland, so we walked over to get soy sauce, mustard and Thai chili sauce; but we could not find any wasabi.
Back at the apartment, Kiyomi invited Ivan to try some Japanese style food, since he was kind enough to bring us some of his excellent red wine, some sausage and a pork steak that his father wanted us to try. Kiyomi fixed some octopus-cucumber salad, octopus spaghetti, seared tuna with salad greens, and a tomato-hard boiled egg salad. We had a very enjoyable conversation while we ate, with him and his friend from Pula, who is a TV program producer, a cook and a world traveler - he had been in Kobe, Japan so he and Kiyomi discussed Japanese cuisine, then he had many recipes for Croatian and other food preparation.
