Mochi

Mochi is a asian dumpling like pastry that taste very yummy. It's made with rice flour for the dough and sometimes with a sesame seed coating, mochi HAS to be the yummiest Japanese pastry ever. Somtimes theres a peanut filling, red bean paste filling, ice cream filling evan a Nutela filling in mochi. Here are pictures of mochi (Japanese mochi and thia mochi) .

THE DURIAN! (AN AWESOME fruit!)

Durians are really smelly, they smell worse than rotten eggs! Also stinky socks. So do you think you would wanna eat that?! Well I don't think so, but Durians taste really good, at least I heard that they do. Anyway so I just saw a Durian not that long ago. IT WAS HUGE! Seriously it was like 17 inches tall! And about 7 inches thick! Look at the picture at the bottom to see how durians grow. Durians are really cool fruits because of how big they are. Durians grow in Asia, they are green as you can notice by looking at the pictures. You can make durian pancakes. Fermented durians look a lot like scrambled eggs to me, you can eat durians by simply holding it in your hands, after taking out the fruity flesh.
So you can tell that durians don't smell wonderful, they are like the opposite of roses. They are spiky but you can touch them, they just have big spikes, but they are like triangles that are popping out. Anyway,what I am trying to say is that they don't hurt with the spikiness. WARNING NEVER SMELL A DURIAN!

My pet gerbil Oreo

My gerbil is so cute so I just thought that it would be great to let the whole world see my adorable gerbil. Gerbils are rodents, they look like hamsters/rats it's just that gerbils have fur on their tail so it's not like a rat's naked tail. Oreo always chews stuff, you know why? Because rodent's teeth never stop growing, she has to shorten them so she can eat and open her mouth. The other reason why is because she gets bored a lot, so that makes her entertained.

This is so cute, (she's taking a nap)
