Back from Tokyo again. Last time we went, when having dinner with friends (who went to my college as exchange students), they said "you guys should go to a maid cafe while you're here!" ... so I dragged R to @home and he was not happy with me OH WELL

Maid cafe! It's my secret wish to visit one, even more for butler cafes. You should visit Swallowtail, it's pretty famous as a butler cafe 8D

Also, you should visit one of Toshi Yoroizuka's shops if you like desserts (he's my number 1 favourite pattisier even though I haven't eaten any of his creations *sob*). There's one in Akasaka and one in Shibuya (EBISU, the one in Shibuya is extremely famous btw). Think of me if you eat there! ;A;

About the cooking, I've never made shepherd's pie before, but I guess less is more? Japan has a lot of fat beef btw, and the fat is what makes beef soft, but though the oil from high quality meat does not have that "urgh, oily!!" smell, try not to make it oily anyway I guess since they love their food healthy? OTL I suck at giving advice OTL

EDIT: According to sis, you can add a little bit of milk powder to the potato make it more fragrant, or milk (but milk powder's better), or butter, though it is less healthy.

I also did some thinking about some good American food, and I can only think of pumpkin pie, apple pie, casserole(maybe? depends) and the sort of food you'd eat at Thanksgiving ;w; I'm sorry if I can't be of any help ;A;

i want to go to butler cafes ;D; but they are too popular! the waiting lists are so long you have to reserve a seat months in advance. This summer swallowtail was having renovations so it was closed so I couldn't even get a lucky leftover seat. I just sat outside the closed building whimpering before limping away to mandarake......

i will try adding milk to the potatoes to make them soft *w* since I dunno where to get milk powder + I'm lazy orz

I also think of thanksgiving food when I think of American food, haha... I wonder how they would react if they came home to find me in their kitchen preparing a huge whole turkey on the table with a beer can stuck between its legs (how I have seen my family flavor their turkey). If I could bake I would love to make apple or pumpkin pie though ;w; (no way I can find canned pumpkin here though, I think?)
