wild strawberry

Today, I picked a ton of strawberries. Regular strawberries, one white strawberry, and a bunch of wild strawberries! I've never heard of wild strawberries before, but they're mini strawberries that smell more like strawberries than regular strawberries! They smell fake like candy. They taste as good or even better than some regular strawberries. I also learned how to not mistake wild strawberries for mock strawberries or hebiichigo as they are called here. Wild strawberries fruit faces downward instead and mock strawberries face up. Pictures below for reference! Wikipedia says they are edible, but I was told not to eat these, so I will try to refrain from eating them.

I also got some radish and a cauliflower, but I'm still thinking about how I should cook it.

I also picked some flowers! I put all the names in the pictures below. I wanted try flower pressing as a new hobby. We'll see how it turns out.

I also got a sprig of apple mint and my first thought was to make a cocktail. (さすが me) But since I don't have any liquor at home, I just crushed it and put it in my bathroom.

Before going home, I also got some sukiyaki my friend made for her family and it was so good. I miss being cooked for.
