everyone likes this ROSE gum!

Even Hiro's mom's dog, 小夏ちゃん, konatsu-chan is fond of this rose gum! We went to Yokohama for the long weekend and enjoyed soba noodles at a family restaurant. His mom showed me how to make their family style しょうが焼き, ginger pork as well as curry. (one secret to making her curry: use 2 or 3 types of curry roux blocks)

Having a pet as a companion is one of the best things. In about 5 years I hope to buy a medium-sized dog...another black chow-chow? Perhaps that would not be fair to the new dog because I would always be comparing it to the old one.

Are you a dog or cat person?! I am definitely a dog person.
