My new family is different from my old Okaasan, especially in food. This family eats way more fish than Okaasan did--and different varieties as well!
Yesterday I had salmon roe (ikura いくら) for the first time. It was...interesting--nice with rice and nori, but salty. I've also eaten whole (baby?) squid now--the eyeballs are more bitter and cruncher than I expected them to be.

I have also partaken of the Japanese hamburger (which is more like a mini-meatloaf, if you ask me).
And I've made cookies!

| Don't they look good? |

Hina-chan kept circling the cookies until I took pity on her and put them away. They're cinnamon shortbread dipped in chocolate (I also made some plain ones because it appears that Okaasan (this family) doesn't really like cinnamon).
Awesome blog, kiddo!
