Mei-Shun seems to suffer weekend overeating syndrome from the beginning of this month. On 6th, Shin’s birthday, he and his wife ate all day long, as much as they like. 12th let her enjoy soba. It takes at least 3 days to come back to her normal diet with 3 methods; biggest breakfast, 8-hour carbo and candy-first. And weight control is easier when the couple do together, while difficult if one of them drops out.
Shin and Mei-Shun ate out for the first time in as long as 3 months on weekend. いしじま, their favorite peanut shop and soba restaurant located nearby, looked quite fine even in such a rainy day. The wife found a soba shochu, distilled spirit on a menu, ordered a small bottle to be diluted by 蕎麦湯=soba-yu, hot water used to boil the noodle. Hmm, it is not bad.
Followed by dessert of course.
They are so bright that Mei-Shun feels as if beaten in eyes when she opens the front door. Mom-in-law chose it to be planted here — she visited Switzerland 22 years ago, quite liked that country where many houses grow geraniums at windows. It also works as bug repellent, not only cute but useful. By the way, what is the brightest is your eyes, Mikan-chan.
Hi, a larger package of 羅臼昆布, welcome onto the table of Shin and Mei-Shun. The wife has to take good care of you from now, since weather forecasters said minutes before that rainy season seemed to start today in many areas of our archipelago including Kanto. However, it is clear with strong breeze. Well, it often occurs as soon as we come into that period of humidity.
Shin and Mei-Shun visited 乙戸沼 Park on weekend, expecting those flowers on season. Thank you so much, gentle ladies, for waiting above couple in 80% blossom. And they reminded the wife of a yukata Master Mei-Shu gave her several years ago. She might be ringing a bell to let her last 名取 contact Master Bando to apply for kabuki dance performance on stage in November.
Mei-Shun changed today’s reservation at a hair saloon in 御徒町 for a cut, newly into one nearby 東京 station next week. The latter gave her a phone call to inform their suspension in April, yet returned to normal business 2 weeks after that state of emergency lifted. This is also the day her beloved father went on a long journey 11 years ago. She hopes to see him at mom’s home soon.
His favorite hydrangea in sky blue is missed as well.
Oh, Mei-Shun did it again. She boiled a stick of alga powder, meant to pour it into a container to store in the refrigerator. However, since it was too hot to handle, she shifted her gear from cooking to cleaning. Now what should be done on it? Re-heating is not a proper way, dangerous with a high risk of burning. The best is to cut it directly within the pan. Yes, she is used to such a slight accident.
To you, Shin, just one day before. Mei-Shun has already got ready for his favorite chiffon cake. Chatting on a sukiyaki pan and this handmade dessert, the couple are looking forward to seeing a beautiful full moon at night. By the way, we have 芒種=boshu, the 3rd of summer 二十四節気 today. It means a timing to plant rice and wheat, yet a month late in our modern eras.
He rushes back home fm 松山.
Yes, one in green flesh while the other orange. Shin, a generous orderer and Mei-Shun enjoyed the former this morning. Cut into quarters, one piece was delivered to mom-in-law of course. Oh, how sweet and juicy it is! According to attached instruction, their best time would be shown at the bottom: when we touch softer there with sugary scent, let them stored in a refrigerator.
Their season has come, for following cute flowers in bright yellow. Mei-Shun is so happy to see them this year again. They also bloom in white at cowboy movie background of her favorite smart phone game ねこあつめ, cat collection. Such change might come from our custom called 衣替え, kimono replacement in which many high school students start to put on summer uniforms on June 1st.
