We had cold udon noodles with chicken and eggplant for dinner, but Nina was not too excited about eating eggplant, so we used the old “you have to eat all your food if you want dessert” ploy. It worked, but Nina came to the somewhat bitter realization that eating dessert last meant you weren’t hungry any more and couldn’t enjoy the dessert to the fullest. Ah, the sad lessons of life.

How can you raise her to be this very cute and clever?!! I wonder how much she can be so positive mind, as she seems. !!
I love your girl very much and you are my role model of raising a kid. I have 2 nieces & 2 nephews (I’m not married yet.I’m just 26) and I would need your suggestion one day

@kacangmede ha ha We would have to go to Osaka to find the nearest Ikea, but I think we would just feel tortured too, so we’ll stick with Mujirushi.
The cold udon dish my wife makes changes every time. She just puts whatever she has in the refrigerator (mini tomatoes, fried eggplant slices, sliced okra…) on top of the cold udon noodles with a little tsuyu broth on top.

@geofg Oh I do love Muji too! love their pens, notebooks, and flat shoes. going window shopping in Muji makes me feel at ease, seeing all the colors and simple shapes
[while windowshopping in IKEA makes me feel tortured with the beautiful design yet skycraping price 
]
Nina concluded this experience nicely, huh? The lesson of life, indeed. And everytime I watch this video, it makes me wanna eat nasu and udon, can we get the recipe?

I think my cuteness-meter overloaded. One little person should not be this cute!

@hybridstar08 Sometimes this works, but we don’t always succeed.

Ahhh… Nina knows how to bargain with Mama & Papa. The neverending dessert!
I love how Mama & Papa gets Nina to do what she’s told even if she doesn’t want to.

@z370Toronto Thanks! It’s from a Japanese company called Mujirushi (which means “no label”). They have lots of cool furniture and house stuff, a lot of it in beige or other toned down colors and for reasonable prices. There is an Ikea in Osaka, but it’s too far for us to get to.
