Decided to stop by H Mart in Burlington to look for some things. I haven’t been to the Burlington location in years because it’s so crowded (pre-pandemic). Didn’t find what I was looking for but got steamed Korean corn (forgot to take a pic) & some Lotte citrus gum. 
I’d never had Korean corn 🌽 before finding it at H Mart in Cambridge a few years ago. I love corn so I got it expecting it to taste like most corn in America. It’s a difference variety called waxy or glutinous corn.

Resisted the Hello Kitty toilet paper. 😹
While we are on looks, let’s talk cute animals and #kawaii 😍 Without cheating, who’d like to suggest what features we perceive as CUTE in animals? (Yep, we have scienced this) #animalwelfare #science
Great work from @DogSpies @DogUmwelt showed us that ‘baby schema’ of round head, large wider-spaced eyes with coloured irises & a mouth approximating a smile rang our human-sees-cute bells. Other research by @AnthroZooRG shows we perceive cute dogs to have desirable personalities
Interesting side note, children have been shown to perceive snarling dogs as smiling and friendly. They are terrible at reading dog behaviour cues unless we actively teach them. Most dog attacks happen to children under 7yo, often a dog known to them.
