I did not know the reason different in the name of the shop.
Oddly enough Baskin-Robbins actually translates into 31. Tongue

LOLSurely. Natto is the food that a soybean fermented. It is a unique smell. There is often a person in disfavor with Natto in Japan. By the way, I do not yet know the taste of Daiquiri ice. I will try it this time.

I was shocked by taste of the ice cream of the mint chocolate since Baskin-Robbins struck Japan. I remember that I learned that there is such an ice cream for the first time at that point.

Probably it is about time when I am in my teens.

I said that Japan depended on an almost overseas technique about a cake and a cake before. Probably I thought that a homemade cake might be made in each family in U.S.A.
Or the kind of a splendid cake to offer in a shop.

By the way, a photograph of the cakes which I put is the cake which I ordered in a Japanese ice cream shop. The name of the shop is called "31 Ice Cream".

The shop is called "Baskin-Robbins" in U.S.A.
I did not know the reason different in the name of the shop.

Yes. I store the cake in a freezer immediately. The candle which I stabbed because the son is 3 years old is 3.

Sounds good, I always have a bottle of pickapeppa on hand. Sometimes I'll use it as a dip for tortilla chips by itself.
I learned about it from a micorbrew and sandwich and chili place on about 11th in SF. I forget the name, they were there a long time, but I think they finally went out of business. They usually had about 6 homemade beers on tap, one was called Polly wanna porter.

Now I'm having grilled eggplant sandwiches with the same sauce.
I make a very similar 'picante' when I'm broke, or just cause it's good.  Garlic, olive oil, tomato paste thinned with a bit of water, brown sugar, some hot chilis or hotsauce, Worcestershire, and a slice of lemon.  Sometime I'll add Pickapeppa sauce (a very good tamarind-based product with a parrot on the label.)

Thanksgiving is one of the best meals (though you usually can never eart as much as you'd like because there are always at least 5 or 6 different dishes and quite rich with the stuffing (dressing), sweet & mashed potatoes, and pie. 

I like to make creamed onions to bring to the table, one of my favorites, and I'm always glad to see either green beans or Brussels. 

My creamed onion recipe ('creamed onions' may sound terrible, but they come out mild, sweet and delicious, a perfect side to complement the other classics and really simple to make)  - -

Pearl onions, half a pound or so
Chicken stock
Heavy cream or Half&Half
A pinch of nutmeg
S&P to taste

Cut off tops of pearl onions and and peel, sautee in a large pan at low to medium heat in some olive oil and a little butter till they begin to brown around edges.   Add enough chicken stock (Broth will do but stock is much better) till the onions are half in liquid, and simmer on low till onions are tender and stock has reduced.  Add the cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg and continue to simmer on low till cream has reduced and all is rich and tasty.

It is very splendid. It is completely an imitation if I supply food in Japan and do a thing. Probably Japan will prepare for cooking like them in the New Year.Smile

Probably I knew that there was Thanksgiving Day approximately one month later, but of course I have not experienced it.

Probably each family will cook an original dish. A turkey and vegetables.

Yes. Yes. I am going to often reproduce taste to offer at a restaurant at home. However, I know that I can never do a thing.

The pasta and sandwich look very good. Probably the hot sauce looks like almighty about a dish to some extent.
