yum yum, eat 'em up!
Today I received a small 'package' from a colleague. It looks really nice and cute. It was so cute, that I wanted to wait and share it with all of my readers. Both of you. I don't know if it is referring to Ringo Starr or not, but I like the bandanna. After carefully opening the package, I see what looks like a, well, a bunny! a picture of the package and the bunny is on the left, if you didn't yet notice. Click the picture to better understand the Beatles reference.
There's an added bonus: it looks like the bunny is cowering and waiting for some lurking danger to go away. Well, I just finished dinner and I'm looking for dessert! Checking the wrapper again, I was expecting some sort of apple flavor. Well, it was a sweet desert and it had a wisp of apple flavor, about as much as you would get from eating the wrapper.
Actually I had another dessert too. It came from this bag down below somewhere. I went for dinner last night in Shinagawa and never made it out of the train station. They had a section there called "ecute". Maybe the guy who coined the term 'ebusiness' named this place. Anyway, it was a nice section and you would never believe that you were in a train station. There were several restaurants, a store that reminds me of Lechters and a stationary store that was selling expensive pens for like, 150 US dollars. Add a lot more zeroes if you're paying in Yen. Anyway, it seems the Japanese are really into New York style and flair. Why else would I be able to find a doughnut store (they should have spelled it donut!) that originated from some little corner of Manhattan, near (Delancy Street, not too far from the Williamsburg Bridge) but cannot seem to find Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kremes anywhere in Japan? They (The Doughnut Plant) have these great big square doughnuts. Here in ecute land, these folks were also selling 4 small doughnuts for 1150 yen. That's right on par with the pens they were selling at the other store. Obviously, I did buy the doughnuts, but I did not buy any pens. All in all, I enjoyed the bunny more than the doughnuts.

Pete, I had no idea that you liked desserts so much! Or is that you can't find anything else that you like to eat there? When I spent a week in Germany during the "mad cow" epidemic, I just ate jam and bread in the morning and chocolate for the rest of the day. Sounds like you are you going through a similar experience! Best of luck in hunting more desirable chow in future. Take care, Leo.
that cookie looks disgusting.
you have to be one of the few people who remember what a lechters is!!
