Maya brought me a box of cookies from Kyoto. It's the green tea cats tongue from Malebranche. She said that Kyoto was famous for high quality green tea and Malebranche made lots of fine pastries with green tea.

        One of the things I like about California is there are lots of good products, such as Meyer lemon, almonds, and cherries, etc. Cherry season started in late May in the Bay Area. We can easily find big and good taste black cherries in local market. And they brought the idea of making clafoutis!
