No, I didn't Go to Canada


Maple Cream Cookies from Canada

I wish I were the one who went to Canada, but no, unfortunately not. One of the students of the language school I work for gave these to me as a souvenir yesterday.
Yum! :D
It must be beautiful in Canada now... with maple leaves turning colors...

I live in Canada ^^V. And yes, autumn is very pretty here. I'll take a picture of the valley that I walk across every morning to school on Monday... it's absolutely breath-catching! I don't know if I can post a picture in the comments section though ^^". I'll try!

hello Obachan.
Unfortunately Vancouver is raining and bit nasty.. Those cookies remind me of the maple syrup farm I visted in my middle school. It was amazing experience for sure. I still remember taste of hot syrup poured over fresh snow to make real mample candy. yummm~. warm and not sweet but almost like chestnut....

Hi Obachan! How are you? Wow these cookies look pretty! Is there a filling in between? By the way, how are your pumpkin cookies doing?

Hi, I found your blog when I was searching for Japanese recipes.

Those look like the cookies I sent with my son, who is currently at Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies. I am from Richmond, BC, Canada so I also gave my son smoked salmon to give as a gift.

I spent 3 hours last night reading your wonderful blog. I tried to leave a comment on one of your entries from 2005 re:raw eggs on rice. But I don't think it got through.

I LOVE your blog!!

Hi guys!
Thanks for leaving comments and sorry I didn't respond earlier. Something unusual happened... I got sick. I'm not sure if I caught a cold or I was sick of having to take a test. Last sunday, I needed to take an (expensive) English test. At the end of the test, I was already feeling heavy all over with pain in the joints. Then my fever went up real quick that night to almost 40 C (104 F?). It was a pure luck that I didn't have to work at the bento shop Monday morning. But from Tuesday on, I had to pack bento from 9am to 2pm, take a shower, go shopping for the Halloween event scheduled on this Sat., then straight to work at the language school. Yeah, skipping lunch every day. My fever is still around 37 C and I had no chance to experiment on the pumpkin cookies...I'll be baking them tomorrow night, pretty much based on the original recipe.
Anyway, let's hope that I can survive tomorrow and Saturday, AND have a real rest on this coming Sunday ALL DAY!

It was very pretty when my wife and I went last month. You should try to go sometime. Not now, though. The exchange rate is horrible.
