When I thought this was the end, the second daughter, Kate (29),
appeared, and she had a big chocolate cake in her hand.  

The children started working on new cakes one after another, as if they had forgotten to eat.
The sun goes down around 10 pm,
and the Richard family's supper with constant laughter continues until late at night.

The other is Eskimo ice cream "Aguto".  
Curious about the first dish,
grind three kinds of berries and mix caribou fat
and water to complete.

This tasted strange.  
It's a taste I've never eaten before.

It's an irresistible taste for Eskimos,
but we refrained from it for a moment.

Everything is delicious and delicacy for the first time.  
Next is dessert. 
Eskimo desserts are freshly picked fruits.

The three types of cakes, blueberry,
salmonberry, and blackberry,
have a slightly strong acidity.

Eskimo style sprinkles plenty of sugar on top.  
The taste is delicious.

I want to feed my grandchildren in Osaka.

Pray and start a super luxurious meal.
Tonight, "King salmon" is baked in the oven.

The fat ride brings out the difference in umami.  

Kotetsu eats a large fillet and smiles with satisfaction.

It's an ingredient that you can't even taste in a first-class restaurant.  
The delicacy is "skin whale",
a gem that is not available in Japan.  
The pink subcutaneous fat part is soft and elastic.

The more you chew, the more delicious it spreads in your mouth.  
Bring soy sauce to a luxurious dining table.
 It delicious. 

However, washing your face and brushing your teeth is difficult.
All you have to do is put your fingers in the same basin and wet the inner corners of your eyes.

To brush your teeth,
use a glass of water to gargle and wash your toothbrush.

Water is a valuable item, so it can't be helped.
 Still, it is a life without any inconvenience.

Supper starts at 6 o'clock.
"YOSHI" is called out from downstairs
when I'm thinking of taking a shower.
Everyone is waiting, so I'm told to come down.

The Eskimo dining table is crowded with natural fish and wild meat.  

Breakfast is freshly baked pancakes with bacon and fried eggs.  

Bacon is baked in the oven,
so it is crispy.

It's no different from eating at home.

At first, both of them were shy and did not approach.
Rodrick, who is the same age as my grandson,
teaches me how to write his name in Japanese
and he speaks well with familiarity.

He loves noodles and he sometimes eats four instant noodles a day.

We promised to rent only the bed,
but we forced ourselves to ask for a special meal.

By saying that it was the same as my family,
I shared a table with three meals.

Richard (65),
who has six children and twelve grandchildren,
is still an active teacher.

Children come to their parents'
homes to eat on a daily basis.

The eldest daughter, Mary (30),
is the mother of two boys, Rodrick (6) and Harry (2).  

Harry is always in the Richard family
because he is a kindergarten teacher during the day.

It's a casual hospitality to us who came from far away Japan.

Encounter is a wonderful drama.  

Surrounded by a happy family,
another relative has increased on Shishmaref.
