I ate a pudding today and I remember I read a good story about pudding before.
Morozoff is a Japanese sweet company establised in 1931. We have many Morozoff shops in Tokyo now, but originally the shop opened in Kobe first and Kobe people love Morozoff very much. Morozoff is well known for thier pudding. Since Morozoff's pudding is in a very tough glass cup, some people keep the glass after eating the pudding. Actually, they said every person in Kobe would have a lot of Morozoff's pudding glasses at home; some said their pinchpenny character (it's a typical character of west Japan) made them keep them. In days of old, such free glass cups were appreciated, but recently nobody cares about them, so that Morozoff cups were used for plants, flower vase or gargling.
In 1995, Kobe had Great Hanshin earthquake, 6,434 were killed and over 250,000 houses were broken and people lost their place to live. But many people found the Morozoff's pudding cup in the wreckage of houses. Expensive fine dishes were all gone, but only Morozoff cups were still there. One lady who lost her mom and her house also found a few Morozoff's pudding cups at her broken house. She said the guys who were working for helping people and Morozoff's pudding cups showed her that toughness was more important to survival than looks or money. That will be so true. So many Kobe people are reminded of the Great Hansin earthquake when they see Morozoff pudding cups still now. I read such a story.
I wrote about Kansai (west Japan) people sometimes; The difference between Tokyo and Osaka, Osaka has lower Ore Ore Fraud damage, Osaka is angry now. and maybe more in past. In those posts, I said often Osaka people are pinchpennies :-). But basically I like Kansai poepole very much. They are tough and never forget laughing.
The sky is clean clouds returns the love of the earth mother!

Hi there,
I had the pudding cup before, but it was too heavy to drink something. I used it as flower vase, but it has gone or I throw away.

When I was a little girl living in Japan I used to eat Japanese pudding like that pictured in the Mozoroff link. When I got older and we moved away, I realized that in the rest of the world, pudding is softer and served in bowls. What the Japanese call pudding is much more like the Spanish "flan" - an egg custard turned upside down on a dish with caramel syrup. I like both Japanese and American pudding but they are actually very different dishes.

That transparent toaster is amazing -- such a clean, simple design. My wife has always collected toasters, and for a while our house was almost filled with them. When she sees this toaster, I think she will be very sad that there isn't a place to buy it yet.

Yikes! Those poor kitties in costume! I think if I tried that with my kitty, I'd end up in the hospital :)
