Yup.
You know what Leo Durocher said about nice guys......
Well, I don't mind if I finish last if I can continue to be nice and giving to others. It's not always about the results of the race - the preparation beforehand and the race itself is, in my mind, at least as important. _________________

Gomen.... Decades of accumulated cynicism.
The good news - I think my good deeds went unpunished - she's backed off on her direct assault. Never underestimate the power of the omelet
Actually, all the food and clean-up work that went into her birthday played a role too - it was so over-the-top generous, I don't think many could have complained.
Win em over with kindness! (and food ) _________________

Not sure if this has been posted here but I found this quirky cooking show on youtube called "Cooking with Dog". The host dog named "Francis" narrates lol. Good show for those who want to learn how to make popular Japanese dishes.

Like other parts of the civilized world, many foreign food items are popular in Japan. I don't think it's a "native" item.
Good book on J food: A Dictionary of Japanese Food, by Richard Hosking. _________________

You know I was thinking the same. I find Francis' voice calming.
