Ashley and I swapped friendship boxes again. I sent her a couple warmers and wax and she sent more fun Japanese goodies that have me plotting and planning my trip to visit her in a fervor.
Colorful and tasty tiny cups of bite sized gelatin. The girls gobbled these up in no time. The pelican was scooped up by Savanna tout de suite.
Pokemon curry? Sure! Why not? Straws that flavor your milk as you sip it? Fun!
I have not quite figured out the rice treats yet, but I am hoping the internet will aid me in this endeavor. The sakura packaged cracker assortment delighted me.
Soft Oreo filled with cherry blossom cream I believe? It was so rich and decadent, the filling had a raspberry liqueur flavor.
Tea pot shaped tea steeper and really cute decorative tape.
This gets me excited for 100 Yen stores!
So fun! Your trip is going to be amazing! I have always dreamed of going to Japan -- I look forward to living vicariously through you! :)
ReplyDeleteI am still is an unbelieving phase as I dreamily plot and plan and Pin places on Pinterest. I will definitely take y'all with me as virtually as I can. I hope you realize your dream soon! <3
DeleteExcited for your trip like Nancy. :) The gelatin cups look familiar, I think we got them from a Japanese restaurant near a friend's school with the check once upon a time. They are yum.
ReplyDeleteIt means a lot that y'all are excited for me! I can't wait to post my intended itenerary. I love planning! Those jello cups were quite fun and yummy. I can see how they would be a perfect way to end a meal.
Deletecounting the days my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the colored rice pack yet, but it seems from the pictures it might contain colored pellets to color cooked rice? I'll use my translate app to figure it out. did you know the google translate app now accepts photos?! best invention ever!!! lol
I keep meaning to google it! I know it will be fun whatever it is. :-)
DeleteGetting close! I can't believe I will finally get to hang out with you!!!
you can download the app to your phone for free.. portable translator!! i use it a lot.. lol.
DeleteI still have moments where I think "is this really happening?!?!" I will probably cry from joy.. oh how I miss you!!
Lol! I was just talking about that last night! It feels like an ephemeral dream still. I don't think it will solidify until I set foot in Japan :-) I miss you just as much!
DeleteSuch cute goodies! Those gelatine cups peek my interest - what exactly are they like?
ReplyDeleteHey Gil! When I get over there I will pick some up for you and mail them. They are like tiny one ounce shots of jello. Flavors like grape, melon and pineapple. Even some weirder undefinable flavors. Shoot me your addy, I am going mid-July. :-)
DeleteAww, thanks so much! That's so sweet of you. My email is gil.segev23@gmail.com, I also want to ask you about interviewing for my new series. :)
DeleteThank you Gil! I will be in touch!
DeleteSo many cool & fun things! I love that you guys do this & get the kiddos involved! :-) I'm so excited for you & your trip to Japan! Can't wait to see pics & hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteI am excited too. I keep checking my tickets, flipping through my passport book, watching youtube videos of people walking through Tokyo, pinning on my board. It seems so close!
