I got well enough to venture outside today. My mom and I ate burgers at Toot’s Grocery, a modest but tasty local burger joint. I’ve always loved the signs on the building that say “Toots”. I picked up some souvenirs to bring to coworkers and friends in Japan. I’ve gotten the most favorable reaction in the past to food souvenirs (who doesn’t love trying local delicacies?) I decided to bring cheese straws, a rich cheesy Southern spritz cookie. A friend of the family’s makes them downtown and when we went to fetch them, I got to see the spritzing in action. She’s happy to know that her cheese straws are traveling the world!
Next time I write I will be in Japan! Goodbye for now! xoxo
