Nothing is more American than Apple Pie

---

Host mom brought back this massive apple pie from Costco, yes Costco is here too. We warmed it up and on my recommendation ate it with vanilla ice cream. It had lot of cinnamon in the filling and butter in the crust. It was my first western food in a very long time and really hit the spot on a day where I was thinking a lot about back home. I was extra-frustrated after class with my Japanese language today and was feeling down and tired of Japanese isolation. First time I really wanted to go back and see home for a bit. A massive wedge of apple pie and a good Japanese conversation with the family cleared things up fast.
