Valentine's Day, Part 2

Yesterday, we arrived home to find a package of chocolates in our mailbox. (Thanks again Mom! (and Dad?)) There were some delicious Laura Secord french crisps, but they're all gone now. You can see below what's left:

The heart-shaped box contains some delicious truffles (I just ate one) and the red-wrapped ones are solid, delicious chocolates. I shared some of these with one of my students.

Today, I also received some delicious-looking maple cookies from one of my students. So it looks like it's going to be a fattening week.

Chocolates from Canada

Thanks Mom and Dad for the chocolates and card and earrings! I just read the God-Math article and it was interesting. I liked the following quote:

"With or without religion, good people will do good, and evil people will do evil. But for good people to do evil, that takes religion."
(Steven Weinberg)

Hand-made Chocolate

One of my cute soon-to-be 8-year old students gave me two truffles, plus two hand-made chocolates, one of which you can see here. It was tasty! I particularly liked the little silver candy beads, which I remember eating when I was a kid.

Thanks N___a!

The Choc-U-Lator!

I can't forget the gift that my sis sent me. It's a choculator!


This smelled so chocolatey when I was opening the wrapper, and I was so disappointed when I realized that I couldn't eat it! But, I now have a choculator, which I didn't have before, and I can't complain about that.

Thanks Kath!

My Valentine Gifts

I was able to relax this Valentine's Day, because in Japan, men don't have to lift a finger... until March 14th, which is White Day, when men return gifts to all the women who gave them gifts. Anyhow, I got some lovely things from my Valentine, as you can see below:

Here you see some fat, arranged in nice shapes and packages.


Here you see a nice brown shirt.


And my favourite gift, a brown watch. Brown! I love it. Who said watches bring bad lu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-c-k....

(Sorry, I just fell out the window.)
