wanko no lube sheep desu

this will be the last crazy "engrish" post, i promise. at least until my next trip to ichiban kan, the 100 yen shop in japantown. it's next to the bank in the eastern wing of the kintestsu mall, if you're wondering.

my cupboards are filled with many cute yet disturbing little cups, saucers, plates and notebooks. just like this one:



this poor fellow has been named "wanko". hmmmm, i wonder just how he got that black eye? he brings me much joy. but not as much joy as this latest acquisition.



please to meet bobbin of the clickety click club. this beauty is a double decker plastic food storage container. yummy. you might note that this is a "lube sheep" item. i'm sure they have a diverse and interesting product line.

all of this has really gotten me into the mood to cook up a mess of japanese food. if you'd like to see more "engrish" (thanks for the link keiko) go here. for little strange news morsels from the mother country (or rather mother's country, as in my poor old moms who i mercilessly tease) go here. check back in a few days for the first post of my series on japanese cooking.
