How cute they are! Thank you so much, Shin. He sometimes takes Mei-Shun by such a pleasant surprise, knowing her methods of weight control including candy-first one. She is getting along with others as well, to lose half a sugar bag since the last time of a slight shock. Now her hands and fingers are quite sore after dancing with horseies, you would be off tonight, Ms. Piano.

Rice Rounds
StandardMei-Shun resumed her cycle of our main staple. Simple and the best white rice, called 銀シャリ comes first. Her favorite breed above means “a silver crescent”, written in an unique kanji letter. Pearl barley or もち麦 would be added to the next, reasonable Ibaraki products often employed. Porridge is the last choice, kindly wash inner pan of her rice cooker.
Autumnal Art
StandardShin went on a business trip to Tokushima, home town of beloved Master Mei-Shu. He always brought home sweet delicacies, yet salty one this time because of above beauty. Mei-Shun received a regular message from 両口屋是清 the other day, charmed by such an amazing technique that ordered it immediately. The husband loves the lower half, while the wife the upper.
十五夜
StandardWe are on lunar August 15th, the best full moon of the year 仲秋の名月 is expected tonight. It is also called 芋名月=imo-meigetsu, a good moon of potato. Not meaning cut-surface shape of normal one, but the beginning of taro season. Mei-Shun loves it, while gloves are indispensable to wash and peel fresh ones. And oh, thanks a million for bringing souvenirs made of sweet potato, Shin.
Featuring Foods
StandardKaori-san, one of a few but the best friends of Mei-Shun, kindly replied to a 残暑見舞 the latter sent just on the deadline. A brown envelope with 3 invitation cards enclosed, saying “Bon appétit!”. It would be the title of her exhibition held in Kyoto from the end of October, at the same gallery as 2 years before. Shin would be happy to accompany his wife who means to put above pendant on.
Enjoy Excursion
StandardMei-Shun visited a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station for a cut. Cool weather started just at the beginning of September let her decide to make front hair again. She met with Shin who is heading for Osaka, ate out together after longer than a whole month. Now she has 2 hours before the appointment. Shopping would not take so much, may she come earlier? … thanks a lot, see you in 30 minutes.
Double Dolce
StandardOh, how delightful it is! Or they are Mei-Shun means. Shin ordered a rolled cake on business, yet received two at home by his wife on weekend. It is a kind of dream for her to eat this nostalgic sweets until feeling full up. Hmm, one is coated by sliced fruits under jelly while the other whipped cream. They gave almost no effect on the scale she got on tonight after dancing with Princess Maria and Ms. Bunny Girl.
Shrimp Shock
StandardOh-oh, thanks and sorry, Shin. He went on a business trip to Nagoya, brought home a can of … cracker. Called ゆかり=yukari, made Mei-Shun take it as a famous topping on a bowl of rice. However, she merrily removed above golden lid to find poor, beaten water creatures. Such density of a food-ingredient animal is too high for her. May she close it and run away?
Sweet Souvenir
StandardShin went on a business trip to Hokkaido yesterday. Mei-Shun worried about him who had the second shot against the novel coronavirus on July 19th: he had high fever, then felt ever tired and sore in back for 2 weeks. A few recent days saw him better, yet whose attention easily wondered. It was after he arrived in Sapporo when she knew his destination to ask for her favorite.
Month Moves
StandardThis weekend was brilliant for Mei-Shun. Her last day of July, Saturday was spent with Princess Maria and Ms. Last One after nearly 2 months. Following August 1st, Sunday was birthday of her mother who stays in 草津 on vacation. Receiving a pleased reply to her younger daughter’s congratulations, the latter dined out with Shin and mom-in-law at a grilled-eel restaurant.
