@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. You know…raw egg 🥚 in 🇺🇸 is not good to eat. That’s why 🇺🇸 has no Sukiyaki restaurant. We can buy special eggs for raw eggs(restaurant using)/I guess. It’s fine for me. I like 🍳 fried egg. One a day. You gave a healthy food. Ask your wife. Vegetable, fruits without too much sugar. She knows that! 😊 Let’s go for a good day!
@ユミ Thank you for message. Not so bad. When I was trimming the 🌹in my garden, They(roses)always scratched me. 😆(Shikatanashi). I wear long sleeve jacket, still ~ it’s very strong my Rose. 💕love
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your egg🥚 message ! 😋😄👌 I finally understand why there are no sukiyaki restaurants in 🇺🇸.🐮🥚🙅♀️🤭 Food preferences and dislikes vary from country to country. People in Africa🇿🇦 eat insect larvae🐛, but people in Japan🇯🇵 do not. Similarly, in Hong Kong, China🇨🇳, people eat pigeon🕊️, but people in Japan🇯🇵 do not.🙅♀️ People rarely eat raw eggs outside of Japan.🇯🇵🥚🙅♀️ By the way, Today April 24th is Botany Day in Japan, celebrating the birthday of Dr. Tomitaro Makino.😄🎂🌞✌️💦 Hoitara-ne ! 👋👋👋

Good morning. ☺️✨ That's right. 🤭 There's a time difference, but it looks like it's going to be sunny this morning, which is perfect timing. My friend's birthday is coming up, so I gave her the mimosa sapling she'd been wanting. I also made a reservation yesterday for lunch together. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 ☹️while I was writing a message, the network was suddenly cut off, because the battery 🪫 was dead 😵 ~. I will send a message to you tomorrow. Right now I am using my smartphone, it’s too small to type. 👋 talk to you tomorrow! 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! How are you? I have been back normal after I had 50day-stomachache. I will be 👌. I have already changed my mind about my life.
I know ~ every country has its their food. When I started to live on Guam, I saw some info/“we have delicious 🦇 BAT”…😵💫they eat~ It depends of the country. In those days(~1960…) we Japanese had sparrows(suzume). They had disappeared after 1970s. We human race survived everywhere in the world. ✌️ Dr. Makino(1862~1957)was a botanist. He died almost when we were born. He died at my growing place/(Bunkyo ward, Tokyo). That’s right ! He was there at the University Tokyo. I understand that. Thank you for your giving me a nice information. lovely 😊 Let’s go for a nice day!
Yes. I treated my friend to an early birthday celebration at a Japanese restaurant. The meal included sea bream shabu-shabu, clam soup in an earthenware pot, tempura, tofu salad, sashimi, bamboo shoot rice, pickles, dessert, coffee, etc. It was delicious. 🐰💗
