Something wild came in the mail!

Straight from Volks International! I actually got this on Thursday but haven't had time to experience it until today!

 

 

Can you make out what it is?? ^_~

I have already favorite'd all of these on your flickr stream. ^^ I LOVE the octopus. You have to name him if you haven't already. As for the rest of the images...thank you for totally destroying my mind with cuteness, I don't think I'll be able to function for a little while- I'll have to go watch the news or something to bring me back down!

I don't have a name for him!!!

 

I SHOULD HAVE YOU GUYS ON THE FORUMS HELP ME PICK A NAME FOR HIM!!!! 0_0

 

Great idea NakitaNinja!!!!!

Haha, my Saber is already in her outfit =3 She actually has some emotion now with her lion outfit and tiger slippers on. Can't wait for Noumi's bunny pajamas to get here next month since the fabric on these is just so soft >.

That's so cute! It looks so soft.

How about Otako (O [honorific prefix] + tako [octopus])? It sounds like "otaku."

I dunno... I think that is super cute!

 

Maybe even Otako-sama to make it extra redundant, I guess. Lord Octopus!

XD that's also pretty epic! I'll have to let it grow on me a little and see if something sticks - Sam picked up a couple small plushies for our girls to play with today, I'll have to post a picture with them tomorrow ^_^

You should name him Bubbles. That seems like the kind of name an octopus would have! That or THE KRAKEN. Even though krakens are squids...

Bobo?

 

What do Tsubo and Momoji translate into?

tsubo = jar

 

I remember Lime (Saber Marionette J) running around going crazy over the strangeness of the word.

It's a weird name, indeed.

I'll suggest more when I can. In the meantime, I guess a little research wouldn't hurt.

Does daidai taste good? Is it too bitter to eat? Can it be a tea?

Does daidai taste good?

Yes. I think the older you get, the better it taste.

 

Is it too bitter to eat?

The taste is only slightly bitter, so you don't need to worry about it being too bitter. I think the bitterness of the daidai actually adds a very refreshing taste to the overall fruit.

 

Can it be a tea?

I don't know about whether or not it can be used as a recipe for a tea, but I have seen Japanese chefs using it's skin for some type of dishes.

 

Daidais are common during the Japanese New Year, since these fruits are used for kgami mochi, a traditional decoration.

Daidai sounds good. I like citrus flavors. Thanks for sharing, Halcyon. If I meet a daidai, I won't hesitate to try it.
