♥ バレンタインのチョコレート ♥

私の大学のにほんクラブは 先週の週末に かわいいエベントが ありました。 バレンタインチョオレートを つくりました。

In 日本, the girls give chocolates as a "confession" to the boy they are crushing on (ほんめいチョコ). Usually, ONLY girls give Valentine's Day presents to men, and women receive nothing in return. But don't get too excited, guys. Of course, there are also chocolates handed out in friendship or obligation, like those to bosses, colleagues etc. called ぎりチョコ。 It literally means "obligation chocolates." Personally, it sounds more like, "I'm giving this to you because I don't have a choice," though close friends have no awkwardness in this at all. A month later on March 14th is a Japanese holiday called White Day. It is the day where the men return the women's gifts with a gift of their own at least twice or thrice the value of the original gift. I like THAT holiday ;)

 First, you must melt down some chocolate. You can add dye or mint to them and use various flavors for a hint of creativity.

Then you must pour the chocolate into molds and freeze them so they keep shape.

 Finally - Tada! Pretty and yummy chocolates to share with everyone. Spread the luuuuuuurve, guys! :)




 PS: 今日 私のデトノートを へやに きますか。きれいで すごいですね~
To those who don't know: デトノートは おもしろくてたのしいまんがと アニメです。このまんがは 一番すきなまんがです。Aaaaaaand, it's amazing. The main plotline revolves around Light Yagami (a genius college student), L (a genius detective), and Ryuku (a しにがみ, or a death god). しにがみare supposed to reap human lives from the "Other World". They use an innocuous little notebook called a Death Note to do their job. In fact, rule number 1, as written in the notebook, says:

「"The human whose name is written in this note shall die."」


。。。 Who wants to be the first name?
