omiyagi

the beautiful box of tea candies i was given by the lunch lady at the elementary/jr high today.  they are apparently really special tea cakes from kyoto and the very expensive kind.  how lucky am i?  it was a really random gift as i simply helped set up for a special lunch for the graduating jr high students today and the lunch lady's daughter happens to be one of those graduating students.  im really not exactaly sure why she gifted me this ultra nice gift, but i do know that i am so grateful and happy to have gotten it anyhow.  what a beautiful thing.  ;)

  2. actually meggo, i didnt eat them at all. i knew better. ;) i am not a real fan of candy or sugary sweets and that is just what these are, and some of them are filled with lovely azuki beans (sweet bean paste) which japanese people LOVE and i, well, dont.
