Kaori-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.
Mei-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.
Oh, 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.
Oh-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?
Shin 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.
This 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.
Here are Shin’s souvenirs from Niigata Prefecture. Local beer is very rare to join his list, yet such a little surprise is delightful for Mei-Shun. Actually, the wife has seen 6 weeks so far to refrain from horsey riding. Her buttocks has no bruise, slight pain around has gone thanks to warm advice from family and friends. Now what would be an answer of scale after expecting perspiration?
This is one of corns mom-in-law grew. Not only a good cook, she is the best garden manager who chooses, plants and grows flowers, fruits and vegetables. Her 梅干し=ume-boshi, dried plum pickles has recently been found to be an excellent seasoning by Mei-Shun. Many people in our country eat it with rice porridge, yet a few put it directly into their cookers.
This is another souvenir of Shin who went on a business trip through Nagano, Yamanashi and Hokkaido. Mei-Shun loves both 六花亭=rokka-tei and Royce‘, two tops of pâtisserie roster in above northernmost prefecture. The husband had always chosen the former before the wife asked him to purchase chocolate-coated potato chips produced by the latter.
They came from Yamanashi Prefecture via Shin. Called 黒玉=kuro-tama, lightly sweetened green-pea paste balls are coated with brown sugar whose smooth surface might come from algae. Taste good in room temperature, while the best after getting out of refrigerator. More famous 信玄餅=Shingen-mochi is also accompanied by brown-sugar syrup, might be popular among natives.
