So, as I’ve talked about before, in Japan, the women give the men gifts on Valentine’s Day. Typically chocolate.
Last year, I demanded that Yukari get me a gift. Yukari, thoroughly amused with herself, presented me with a heart-shaped rice cracker. Hardeehar.
This year, Yukari was determined to top herself. Unfortunately for me, she succeeded. On the 14th, I received a white, heart-shaped fish paste cake (kamaboko), with “St. V” iced onto the top with pink-colored fish paste. The cake apparently also contains bits of cheese. She bought this at the market in Kanazawa.
I’m not touching this thing with a ten-foot pole, but if you take a look and want it, let me know:
Microsoft sez you got dominated.
