Here, Ruby, have some ginkgo nuts.

Thank you so much! *Chomp* Wow, they're so soft and crumbly. I've only ever had ginkgo nuts in steamed egg custard before.

This is also a great way to eat them. Ah, it's time to try the foil-roasted mushrooms.

*Sniff* *Sniff* I can smell butter and soy sauce wafting off them.

Mm-hmm. You catch on quick, Ruby.

*Munch* *Munch* This is super good too, Kanata!

Then try this next. I put shredded fish and crushed ginkgo nuts on top of some thinly sliced sweet potato, then sprinkled it with salt and grilled it up.

Y-You managed to fit all the tasty stuff we gathered on the potato!

*Munch* *Munch* It's so goood!

*Stare*

Hm? What is it, Kanata?

You know… When you stuff your cheeks full of food like that, you look like a squirrel or hamster.

Eek! W-Were my manners bad or something?

That's not what I'm saying. Umm…

Yeah?

You're just so cute! When you look like that, it makes me want to keep feeding you more food!

Huh?! Umm…what?!

Yeah! Next on the menu is takikomi gohan stuffed to the brim with mushrooms. We also have miso soup with lots of goodies.

They look so delicious!

*Giggle* Have as much as you want.
