When people find out I’m a food person, they give me food. While I’m appreciative of any gift people give me, food is good.
On the last trip to China, A’s brother, DD gave The Cat a package of almonds (at least I think they’re almonds).
Almonds?
The Cat calls ‘em xiang fei zi (sorry, couldn’t find information on the web about them). The package contains at least twenty individually portioned packages.
Nom Nom Nom
The Cat said these are very high in nutrition.
To me, the flavor is a little salty/bitter. It’s an acquired taste. Once I acquired the taste, yum.
Our cousins gave us a bottle of mustard awhile ago. It’s their favorite.
Label
In order to try the mustard, I bought a hot dog from here. It’s decent, it’s cheap, and I think it provides a good platform to showcase the mustard.
A Costco Dog with Mustard
The onions and relish provides the vegetable components. 
The mustard did not overpower the hot dog. Good choice.
Another friend brought back candy from Japan (far from the Fukushima area).
Japanese Candy
It wasn’t until I unwrapped it that I noticed it’s supposed to look like a bouquet of flowers, cute.
Candy Bouquet
There are four flavors in the package: grape, lemon, orange, and strawberry.
Flavors
The candy is not as sweet as candy bought here (a good thing). The flavors taste more like the fruit they represent instead of just sugary sweets.
Belated Xie xie DD and family, belated thanks P & B, and domo arigato T.
Enjoy.
