Gentle Gray

Standard

So it seems easy for you, Chinese 白茶, to stand up in a teacup. Mei-Shun loves and consumes you more quickly than brown one, also good yet rather normal. What fascinates her most is flavor of the former; flowery to nose, refreshing to mouth. If leaves come out of a pot via narrow spout, they would make 茶柱 to be sweet for eyes as well — particularly with 2 pillars.

Enjoy Eggs

Standard

Meow, it is the first time for me to see these seashells from Portugal. The same for mom as well, who does not know if any lady sells them on the seashore, yet quite likes this souvenir dad brought home. One bite let her remind of 鶏卵素麺=noodle-shaped, sweetened egg yolk. It is a well-known brand in Fukuoka, Kyushu which was exclusively opened toward foreign countries from Edo Period.

Farewell, Friend

Standard

Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet at 11 : 22 to see Dr. M, her home dentist for oral cleaning, new mouthpiece preparation and … removal of Ame-chan. Before going tense and sad, she dropped in one of her favorite bakeries. Hello baguettes, whose width is just equivalent to her mouth. 3 with peanut butter spread between slits, other 3 with milk cream. Please stay sweet girls until she returns lively.

Keep Kettle

Standard

Even if Ms. Iron is injured, she serves enough for Mei-Shun, a tea lover who chose Chinese gray friends today. Oh, a 茶柱=tea pillar nicely stands in a mug, lets her know something good would happen soon. It might be true or wished to; we have 仏滅=butsu-metsu, the worst among 六曜 while gloomy sky. And slight rainfall began just after she hung futon mats outdoors.

Elegant Eclipse

Standard

Mom told me that we would see a full moon tonight. “Yet in all different facade from normal”, she continued. “It gets slimmer little by little before staying behind the shadow of Mother Earth for an hour and a half”. And Uranus also hides at the rear of above dark moon, gives amazing phenomena after 442 years. By the way, I prefer brighter one looks like a spoonful of my milk, purr.

Trick or Treat!

Standard

Yes, of course Mei-Shun say to you kind 483 followers. Nice weather let her dance with Ms. Madoka and Princess Maria as well today. Now what result would her scale show? Hmm, so-so numbers allowing her to cook newly cultivated 銀の朏=silver-moon rice for a gorgeous dinner. However, she has to enjoy it alone because Shin refrains from this shining staple food even in other Asian countries.

Tell U Truth

Standard

Hi, 雁金=karigane green tea. It is quite reasonable compared to others Mei-Shun likes including 嬉野茶=ureshino– and 知覧茶=chiran-cha from Kyushu. However, its taste is never inferior to them made of leaves only. To be honest, it is just today when she learned that above name is used in Kyoto, while calling it 茎茶, meaning stalk tea is normal in major part of our country.

Weigh Well

Standard

Thanks a million Mikan-chan, for your post yesterday. Yes, Shin and Mei-Shun are in condition excellent enough to allow the wife to make her dream come true. After Sunday brunch followed by 冨貴寄=fuki-yose, they got on Ms. Scarlet to visit a rental storeroom via 乙戸沼 Park. Cherry trees began to change clothes, waterfowls came back to spend winter. So does above couple picking up thick futons later.

Great Grapes: 3

Standard

The other box of above fruit arrived at happy hands of Mei-Shun last night. She actually had a slight cold, staying home all day long. It therefore seemed like a get-well gift from Shin via Master I. Yes, thanks to it, she recovered toward 80% of normal condition today. Fever has gone, let her vacuum rooms in the morning. After lunch, which is better to go to nearby ENT clinic, or to walk to the nearest shrine?

Mei-Shun is a green tea lover: she enjoys it almost every day, all through the year. Now are cans of her favorite leaves going empty while tablets, balls and bags of Chinese tea arrived. Here are excellent breeds to replenish a couple of pottery from Hong Kong stored in a cupboard for decades. Hello, great to see you two again. Shall we enjoy a full moon tonight together?
