I recently "celebrated" a landmark birthday. The gift I most treasured was a box of candy from my long-time Japanese pen pal, Satoko. Several years ago, she began a tradition (I hope) of sending me a box of candy for my birthday. I look forward to it each year. And not just because I like chocolates (which I do), but it traveled so far and from such a dear friend. Perhaps that is what makes it taste so good. Thank you Satoko!

I was able to manage my intake so that the chocolates lasted 4 days! Yum yum.
