Gifts from Japan

Dik and Daisy are so generous to buy us a box of chocolates, produced by Morozoff, a company which has been established since 1931. Thanks, Dik and Daisy.

The nine chocolates are placed inside of a round paper box, tied up with ribbons and beautiful roses. I love the shapes of chocolates – flowers, a heart, a layered cake, one with a paste which looks like wasabi,….. The sweetest is, of course, the one which bears “For Someone Special”. Am I so special?

My elder brother and sister-in-law are equally generous in giving me some interesting cow biscuits. They are packed nicely inside a translucent box with a sticker of a cow outside. When I say “cow biscuits”, I do not mean that they are for cows to eat.
The sticker mentions two things:
[1] Cows sable – something to do with colour or name of cows, maybe.
[2] Farm Designs – a farm display of cows.

I have opened the box of biscuits and arranged those lively cows and the green grass (made of paper) to a dairy-farm display. Each cow biscuit is wrapped in a transparent packet. It is really difficult for me to put these “cows” upright with their “two” legs, not “four”. Anyway, I make the display right on one of my bay-window platforms at home. Do you like the display of this farm?

My dear brother and sister-in-law also bought me from Japan a packet of candies which I have not yet opened. Let it be a “secret” for some days until Chinese New Year Day 1. Thanks, KS and LH.

Happy Chinese New Year to KS, LH, Dik, Daisy, Lit and Viv!
