ごめんよ。英語できないな。
日本語しか喋られない。でも、オンラインの通訳サイトで、テキスト入力したら、翻訳が表示するぞ。かぼちゃは英語でPumpkinっていうんだろ？そうだ、味のことについて喋っています。
俺も賛成！！アイスクリームは最高！！！
俺は日本に住んでる少年だけだ。
じゃな

もんさい: you've posted in Japanese here a number of times as well as on my site (I'm Lia's husband, my site is at edpas.net). Who are you? We can understand a little of your comments, and can get a bit more of an understanding using online translation pages. But neither is very good at reading kanji. I—and some members of Lia's family—would have to agree that sometimes it is hard to resist the temptation of good ice cream. As for kabocha, are you talking about kabocha in general or kabocha-flavoured ice cream? I've never had the latter.

Baskin-Robbins in Japan makes a very nice adzuki bean ripple ice cream, but their maccha is a little on the “generic vanilla with some maccha powder added” side.

There’s a green tea shop on the main street in Koriyama — just down from the train station — that has a maccha soft-serve window at the corner. Talk about a treat: A large American-style cone (think Dairy Queen) of rich, green soft-serve! YUMMMMM!

Many of the snacks available at 7-11 have unfortunate English names. There was one particularly tasty item – a sweet biscuit tube filled with chocolate paste – called “Choco Colon”…

Ed – Thanks for the info. One of these days I’d love to be able to do something like that but my Geekatude isn’t up to snuff yet… yet. I’ll go check out your blog as well.

Jodi, as the alpha geek of our household, I could probably give you a long-winded and incomprehensible answer about Lia's blog setup but I'll spare you. Here's the simple explanation: Lia's blog is an independent installation of a blogging program called Wordpress, on my web server. The visual design was taken from a site for sharing such. I've also installed a few customizations, and will probably add some more goodies once I've finished tweaking my own blog, which runs the same software but looks completely different.

Hi there! I’m so glad you decided to join the World of Blogs so I can catch up with you more often.

BTW, did you create your own program or are you importing something like Blogspot?

Anyways, just wanted to say hello… Jodi
