"PURIN"

Purin, my friends.

Not pudding,

purin.

{Dictionaries will translate it as pudding,

but pudding to the people of Japan

is, well, pudding.

And purin is most definitely not that.}

Anyways.

The students

--bless their hearts--

are doing more testing this week,

which means more playtime for me and my Kobetsu sweeties.

{Mei-chan took this photo, bless her.}

Today, we honed our culinary skills

and practiced the delicate art

of purin making.

{The smaller ones had animal shapes on the bottoms!

And I got to eat a whale. :D}

Voila!

Or, as the natives say it,

VOIRA!

With a slice of pineapple for accent.

Mei-chan & Akita-kun,

you are my sunshines.
