Which fruits do you prefer? Mei-Shun does the former while Shin the latter for persimmon, apple, banana, etc. They are all good for morning salad, adding cucumber in one-bite cut. Hot tea, milk and this would make your day energetic.

StandardHappy visit to the hospital again for Mei-Shun. Please, Dr. A, take her gratefulness. They have many gingko trees in parking area. That tasty nuts fell on the ground, before pressed under tyres maybe. Such a pity … mottainai. They should be picked up and soaked in water or covered with soil for a while. Not to be stigmatized with that odor.
100th Ohagi
StandardThank you so much, mom. It is the best sweet for us, Mei-Shun and her older sister. Since her anko is rather sweet, we need to control quantity of it for coating a rice ball. Sometimes ohage (=bald ball!) appears in our hands. Well, no problem; tastiness is the most important. You say so, dad?
Golden Wedding Anniversary
StandardMei-Shun’s mother enjoyed making ohagi with her granddaughter for this ohigan (=an equinoctial week). Her loved husband asked his young bride to do it during their honeymoon in 1965. It served therefore the 100th celebration for the couple. Congratulations, dearest daddy and mommy.
Sweet Girl
StandardHere is Omochi-chan again. Mikan-chan found this stool the best place this morning. Yes, it’s cool, honey. Tasty season has come. Chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin, pear, grape and green orange … Oh, mom has to make a reservation to see Dr. M, her home dentist!
I’m steamy.

StandardSo is a sigh of relief again. Mei-Shun feels so happy to see Dr. A, ever smiling to give a report of no problem once a month. After this “ceremony”, a small party is waiting for her at home; a sundae in the refrigerator. Her diet normally allows sweets only in the morning, yet such a treat helps her continue it.
Great to See You
StandardTorrid weather gives us good chances to enjoy water melons. Vertical cut is normal for them, yet Mei-Shun had a little dream — yes, a horizontal cut to make the sweetest disk. And this morning, her dream finally came true. Thank you, Shin. He ordered it to a corporation called Tele-farm. They grow organic fruits and vegetables based on customers’ command via PC.

Dear Peach Lovers as well?
StandardIt looks that Mei-Shun has become more allergic to foods after taking operation. Among three biggest allergen; wheat, egg, and soy, the last one slightly affects her in milk these days. Kiwi gave her a shocking symptom. Sparkling wine also did, yet it might come from quantity, not from any component of it. And recently, after enjoying a melon and a peach, itchy rash appeared on her mouth. Which one caused this?
Annual Custom
StandardThis is minazuki, a Japanese sweet to eat today for Nagoshi-no-Harae. A half piece would be dedicated to your past half-year life, while another half to wish your happiness in left half of current year.
Hamo Season
StandardDaggertooth pike conger, Muraenesox cinereus, is popular in western Japan. Boiled and cooled in iced water, they are served with pickled ume plum paste. The white meat looks refreshing, tastes nicely light. They give good energy to keep yourself healthy during humid, hot summer.
