Aogu's birthday request: white chocolate macadamia nut cookies (rather than cake! he's crazy!). I was only able to come up with white chocolate; thankfully I was forgiven for not complying with the second part of the request*. Bonus 50 bucks from the Oregon parents, and a cute son in Thomas PJs...what more could a guy want for his birthday?

*as of today, I've procured some macadamia nuts at the "bargain" price of 480 yen (five bucks) for what looks like half a cup? The revised white chocolate AND mac nut cookies are baked for sharing with our guests tonight, so we'll see how they stack up against the white-chocolate only version!

thanks for coming, kumi & brian! watashitachi mo tanoshikatta...and now that I know you don't really have an oven, I feel motivated to make cookies for you again.

that's a great compliment for A, mom, but he wouldn't be able to look this good without your help!
