Cheese, Wonderful Cheese!

This was part of Nozomi's gift to me on Valentines Day. The apple pie cheese sounds strange, but it was actually delicious!

Snowy Day

It's been snowing all morning and doesn't look like it's going to stop soon. Right now, the snowflakes are huge!
I drove Nozomi to work this morning and took this video. The music is "Snowflakes Are Dancing" by Debussy. (No, I didn't hold the camera while I was driving!)

Random pictures

The new Big America burger, The Broadway Burger, has been "released", so I'll go try it soon and give my review. First, here are a couple of random pictures...
I think I've commented on this before, but in case you missed it the first time... Mister Donut is REALLY popular here, and just had an anniversary celebration featuring Peanuts characters. Many people here call it "MisDo". I never knew Mister Donut in America; apparently most of the stores were in the Eastern U.S., and according to Wikipedia, there's only one left in all of the USA. I think it's odd that it started in America, but has all but disappeared there, but is now hugely popular throughout Asia.
The second picture: did you know that lemon steak flavored potato chips were American style? (Me neither.) The package says "California style steak flavor". What do you think, Californians?
It tasted like, uh, potato chips with a cold, greasy lemony beef aftertaste. Yeah, not so good...
