☆ Steam Crab dumpling(かにシューマイ) ☆
Good Morning Everyone, its Valentines Day. Did your special one give you something special today? Here in Japan we celebrate Valentines Day a little weird, from what my hubby does in the States. Usually the girls or women give the chocolates to the person they like or love, but in our home my hubby always gives me the Chocolates, Red Roses, and the Wine for Valentines Day. In the month of March on the 14th is when the boys or men gives the one they like or love and we call that day “White Day”. I think the Chocolate makers makes the best on both days.lol
