arent you sorry you asked?

That baby looks like it needs a cigar and drink.
always love the pic's you come back with Jon.

I'd love to see some sort of write up ... Even just captions to the photos (all of which are amazing BTW!)

Very nice work, and yes I'm very envious! Love Japan

How much did those dumplings cost? They look nice. Any chance you will be importing more affordable lines of natural stones?

@which dumplings? The ones in the last picture? My mother in law, sisiter in law, and sara made them. Suigyuoza (boiled gyoza).

On the natural stones, i doubt they will be getting cheaper to be honest. I have quite a few things i am testing out, but the prices are going up, not down over here. Rarity is the main issue. Things are running out, and there are no plans for reopening mines at this point. Things will run out too... none of these things last forever (and in this case, the timeframe is probably shorter than most realize).

and a couple more recent ones:

Nice Jon. BTW, what is that green soup ?

Antirust liquid

Somehow Jon's excellent photography makes me want to try that green soup.

Heck with the green soup, I'm feeling a random urge to smoke!
