These are mushrooms. Rather, these are the tiny mushrooms that are left when we've munched all the really nice big mushrooms behind them. It's actually really strange to go into a supermarket and see more than one variety of mushroom - normally it's just a couple of trays of watery button ones. Here, there are about 20 different types, and the fact that they're all different shapes and sizes means that it's pretty much a lottery picking which one you want. We really need to start picking up the pace on the whole Japanese front, so we can understand what we're eating.

It was nice to get a postcard from Lukas yesterday - full of his typical wit and not without a hint of mint... but good to see that he's having fun in America.

We had dinner at Cory and Kristen's last night, which was most delicious; we ended up playing Cranium, girls vs. boys, which should not have been as difficult as it was (possibly because they give you play-doh in the box - that was my concentration gone) but, as usual, the ladies were victorious. Pah. A good night though, and I've heard of a T-Shirt that, if it turns out to be true, will be the BEST EVER. Expect pictorial evidence should it prove to be genuine...
