Mei-Shun recovers from sore throat little by little: spray, mouth wash and pills all worked well. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, enough meal might be more important – weight control could be ignored. When body requires energy, her favorite food would serve most. Here 新米, rice of 2025 harvest is cooked. First bowl needs nothing on, just enjoy.
good taste
Pancake Party
StandardWe have a new moon for lunar September, yet under such gray sky who would never show that celestial beauty even in her full shape. Mei-Shun therefore gave up visiting the nearest shrine on the way to a Hawaiian restaurant, for dinner appointment with M-chan, an ardent Mont Blanc lover. Oh dear, is this your goal they serve only for a limited period?
Peek-a-Boo
StandardThis is the date I and mom visit “Arles”, accompanied by dad if a holiday. After getting off Ms. Scarlet, we noticed a message from him whose lunch was a sweet potato ring with soft serve ice cream. I prefer whipped one, on a chou à la crème shaped like a little swan; always mom’s choice, purr. Our tea time might start late at night on 和紅茶 or red tea cultivated in our country.

Hello, Halloween
StandardThat is why mom brought home a fashionable bear full of popcorn. This one with pink hat is for dad, the other blue stays in a clinic Dr. W manages. Both of them have a red feather added on the top, meaning her annual and modest contribution. Last year might see another color, not a couple. We prefer the latter, or more to enjoy happy faces, flavor and friendship. Purr … purrr …

Summer Soup
StandardWelcome back from Canada, Shin, via Kyoto. He caught a cold, yet seems to have recovered on board thanks to virus-free air. Mei-Shun cooked 冬瓜 gourd, one of this couple’s favorite vegetables. Do you kind 529 followers wander why it has winter in name? Kept fresh until freezing season in storage is the reason. Autumnal 季語 for haiku includes it as well.
Cute Chocolat
StandardIt is normally the day for me and mom to visit “Arles”, accompanied by dad if weekend or holiday. However, he stays in Hokkaido where 2-night reunion is held from yesterday. Since souvenir delicacies are highly expected, we just wait at home. By the way, happy to see Mr. Air Conditioner stop weeping after Friday when we headed Tsukuba horsey riding club.

Replace by Refreshments
StandardJust one month has passed since Mei-Shun decided to practice “La Cinquantaine” and “Habanera” every time she opens Ms. Piano lid. That resulted in much better flow of melodies, gives her joy of finger singing. After such a pleasure, Mikan-chan and her mom got on Ms. Scarlet to achieve another with horseies. However, several drops from white sky turned into a shower.
Number Nine?
StandardShin kindly brought home superb delicacies from 九州. They are loved by Mei-Shun whose father was born there, precisely in Fukuoka. Since this city accommodates November sumo tournament, the wife applied for a ticket again. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, the husband’s business destinations include Oita and Miyazaki. They wish family trips to Saga and Kumamoto, covering all 7 prefectures.
Sweet Spring
StandardThey are written, while read shin-kan-sen, the same as our bullet train. One of Shin’s buffs lives in Tottori Prefecture sent him this box of juicy pears, as much as 14. He kindly left Mei-Shun with all of them, except for just 1 for mom-in-law. Here vegetable-fruit drawer of Ms. Cuby, or a refrigerator the former uses, has become a temporary orchard.
Wonderful Wajima
StandardThanks a million, Shin. He kindly brought home Mei-Shun’s one of favorite sweets. She heard that cherry blooms all through the year, somewhere in our country. On the contrary, 楓=kaede maple does from May to June with baby greens. Flowers are so little that few people recognize them. However, red adult leaves represent autumnal beauty. Both plants and night-sky splendour are perfect matches.
