This week we said goodbye to our friend and neighbor Chiaki Kakuto as she finished her contract and heads back to Japan. Alan's sister Katherine also was visiting from the Texas so we celebrated with a Japanese/American dinner and played Uno.
She constructed a wonderful instructional module for making recycled paper and gave us these beautiful gifts.
Always cooking together when we visited helped create cross cultural exchanges like finding out how to properly fold gyoza wrappers and how to make carnitas tacos.
