Hungarian Honey

Standard

Here are Shin’s souvenirs from Europe. He returned on the last day of solar May, stayed at a hotel only on 2nd during the 1st week this month. Mei-Shun heard from him that Hungary is famous for foie gras and paprika. Either is suitable to bring home; the former is a bit too high-calorie, while the latter fresh. It is used for gulyás, their symbolic stew the wife is quite interested in.

Sweets Shopping

Standard

Mei-Shun finally visited a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station. Before walking toward there, she dropped in a 菊廼舎 shop. Her elder sister Y will soon reach birthday, while Shin does tomorrow. However, he is on a bit hard weight control; asking the wife to bake even a chiffon cake after his annual checkup. She therefore chose smaller cans and a tiny bag shaped like Mikan-chan’s breed.

Sweet Stick

Standard

Mei-Shun finally saw Dr. N, one of her home dermatologists at noon. The former patient tried a reservation online, yet just a second made the system tell her it was not available anymore. All right, no problem. 30 minutes are enough to reach that clinic in time, helped by kind Ms. Scarlet. Frozen あんずボー=apricot bar would work as cool appetizer later.

Full of Flowers

Standard

Here Mei-Shun opened a big box of chocolates, one of favorites for Shin and herself. They are a bit worrying about its sustainability – that shop quite decreased product variety. The wife therefore purchased more online this year; on February 14th or St. Valentine’s Day, followed by the same date in March. She also noticed they taste the best until June 6th, his birthday.

Sleep Smiling

Standard

Here I’m at the best place to relax, mom’s legs. She calls me the prettiest profile, purr. We are on the last day of solar April, lunar March 14th or White Day. She therefore relishes a white-meat melon – a treat for herself who slightly succeeded in weight control. One of her favorite fruits and 黄八丈 shochu distilled sake, dad’s souvenir from a tiny Tokyo island, are a nice match.

Delicacy Dessert

Standard

This is the date I and mom visit “Arles”, sometimes dad accompanies. I’m ready to go, yet what are you taking out of a box? 冨貴寄 assorted cookies and candies, wrapped by a paper cover with beautiful cherry blossom drawn on. I see, it replaces cakes today, purr. He brought home a bottle of sake squeezed in 立春 morning, you opened it recently. They would be right matches.

Twice Today

Standard

Yes, it rained from before noon, then in the evening. Mei-Shun stays at home, almost finished tasks including practice on Ms. Piano. “Ständchen” by Master Schubert nicely flew today, yet M. Ravel’s “Pavane pour une Infante Défunte” had several mistakes. Well, she is never able to please every great composer. After a cup of warm green tea, she would take a deep breath and try again.

Steamed Sakura

Standard

Yes, Mei-Shun really loves it; blossom in spring, early summer fruits and sweets all through the year, featuring that colour and scent. Above joined her favorite list this year, had been seen for long time. Since a bit high-caloric, she wondered if it tastes nice as its appearance. Thanks to a discount, a pair was tried with Shin of course. Hmm, such fluffy texture reminds them of silver daughter.

Sunny Side

Standard

M-chan and Mei-Shun visited a bistro in Tsukuba for dinner. The former kindly reserved a table at 18:30, while it took almost half an hour for them to see above dishes. A plate looks like a tiny wood; various, colorful vegetables embrace a Hamburg steak, topped with a fried egg. 3 types are served as meal only, followed by drinks and desserts including the most popular custard pudding.

Meow, Meow

Standard

Mei-Shun received an e-message from her only niece M-chan. The latter will soon become senior at University of Tsukuba, currently in the middle of job seeking. Or at the end of it, since she had promised to contact auntie when content results won. That might be why Mikan-chan opened her last and 22nd paw on Princess Cymby. Now which restaurant above hearty eater choose?
