What are mince pies? A photo of one
Mince pies are an essential part of Christmas. They are small pies, usually between 2 and 3 inches in diameter (5-7.5 centimetres), filled with mincemeat The filling is a mixture of raisins, sultanas, apricots, glace cherries, candied citrus peel, apples, various types of nuts and mixed spices typically nutmeg and cinnamon.
Mince pies should traditionally have a star on top, to represent the Christmas Star which some believe led the shepherds and Magi to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.
Mince pies became a regular part of Christmas celebrations as early as the 16th century. At that time, they contained quite a bit of shredded meat in addition to the usual melange of dried fruits.

What are Brussels sprouts? Photo of some.

The Brussels sprout is a cultivar group of Wild Cabbage cultivated for its small (typically 2.5 - 4cm, 1 - 1.5 inches diameter) leafy green heads, which resemble miniature cabbages. The name stems from the original place of cultivation, not because of the vegetable's popularity in Brussels.

(3). I can not decide yes or no, because I do not know detail about the article, which is not shoun many.
1. The news involved with NGO, UZBEKISTAN police and civic group so it is complicated, difficult to get some informatins about this.

2.Because, the articlee is about human rights, it is important for us but not interwsting for reader.

4. Ikhtior Khamroev was arrested in unconstitutional, after that was beaten and injured in prison. Amnesty International tried to save him. And Bakhtior Khamroev thanked Amnesty International members for theirsupport.

5. I didn't know the blog of another Japanese person in the US. Masa is a Japanese and lived in Nara so I had alittle affinity with her. Idid not know that American people usually take 4 days is thanksgiving it is sounds fun. I would like to go to San Francisco.
