It is Coming of Age Day today. Since 18-year-old young people are already called adults, 20-year might be taken normal these days. However, alcohol drinking and smoking would be allowed after the latter. Many local governments therefore hold gatherings on the 2nd Monday of January, may let them follow parties. Cheers from Mei-Shun with a glass of fresh red wine, souvenir of Nagano by Shin.

Tea Together
StandardMeow, it is the last day of 2022 for me and mom to visit Arles. However, dad e-mailed to us at noon that he had to visit Miyazaki from evening. Tiny party would therefore be held tomorrow night, with all of us attend. Now chocolate cakes seem clever choice to store in a refrigerator, while the first tarte tatin we see here. Oh, a swan made of chou à la crème is for me? Purr … purrr …

Gentle Gray
StandardSo 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
StandardMeow, 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
StandardMei-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
StandardEven 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
StandardMom 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!
StandardYes, 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
StandardHi, 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
StandardThanks 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.
