Hiroko's Hitokoto

Night time solo time perfect for dessert time. Strawberry, blueberry, and balsamic vinegar heated up in a frypan. Wanted to add some sweetness, and topped cardamom ice cream. Delicious! 夜の一人時間にデザートを作る。苺とブルーベリーとバルサミコを軽くソテー。ちょっと甘さが欲しかったのでカルダモンアイスクリームを投入。美味しゅうございました。   Cardamon ice cream on top

 

 

 It was made for kids who are allergic to wheat and dairy. Yum!

  Found Spicebush tea and I had to try. It's decaf and I like the aroma! New favorite. 黒文字茶を発見。もちろんお買い上げ。カフェインが無いうえ、良い香り。新しいお気に入り。

A new little grocery shop that sells beautiful food. Bought a couple of Shiitake mushrooms to grill, and white mushrooms for salad, too. Will be back! 海鮮弁当 Seafood lunch Grilled Shiitake mushrooms Sliced mushroom salad

Nothing's going on but beautiful weather so took a walk to Juban with twins. Stopped over to a newly opened little grocery and tried some grilled sweet potato. Yummy! Then we went to book shop, bought a couple of Paw Patrol books, read at Starbucks bench in the outside while mama was having her break.  Naoya Masaki Book time at Starbucks

 Everything goes wrong, nobody's happy, there's such a day and that happened to be this day. So went to a small park we don't often go to for a change. Those huge smoothie helped their bowel movement tremendously...  Masaki with pineapple smoothie Naoya with açai smoothie Moon in the blue sky

 TGIF!

Pansies, marguerites, and other colorful flowers at the front yard of kindergarten. Take a close look, there's one that looks like a mutation of 2 or 3 marguerites. It looks like a lip, too, reminded me of "little shop of horrors"...  

Morning only, no lunch, so had a picnic at the small park after pick up instead of eating at home.   A video here .

Mo had a school trip to go to Hikawa Shrine in the neighborhood to see their big portable shrine they repaired after 90 years, and the article about their visit was on the newspaper this morning. The storage was closed since 1935, and it's a miracle it survived the Tokyo bombing and the war.  These videos are from 3 years ago when they first opened the storage to take the portable shrine to repairment:  taking the portable shrine from the storage , and  lifting up the portable shrine .
