I have a Japanese friend who had been in the states for just over 10 years. She is constantly learning about American ways. She comes to my house and immediately says, "I need more green." I assume she meant plants in her garden? hahaha We had her over for Christmas last year. She looked at the fresh roasted beets on her plate for a long time which she graciously helped her self too. She had never had them. She was a good sport for trying them and she loved them!
