  Naoya Masaki Naoya & Masaki Naoya and a moon Naoya's action shot of Masaki opening gate

 

 The boys harvested DAIKON radish at kindergarten, and I cooked it with beef on frypan, and the green part with small fish. Very good job!  Masaki and Daikon radish from kindergarten Naoya with Daikon radish they harvested at kindergarten 大根と牛肉の炒め物 大根の葉っぱのふりかけ

Mo & Ton

 

 Last thing she wanted to have before leaving was grilled fish.  Rockfish grill アコウダイの西京焼 Osashimi Lunch at Takishita

  Gelato shop was closed, so we tried this new place. Very good ice cream, but I can't have it often as it's pretty pricey...!

 Last dinner with Ton before she leaves for Australia. Our favorite SANKOEN was closed, so we chose a different place called Yakinikuen. Masa joined, too.  Cheese! Grilling meat, garlic cooking in the boiling oil Beef tongue Mo grilling a shrimp

 

  Ceviche de pollo, lemon chicken stew & Chicha morada, purple corn juice at Arai Shoten, a Peruvian restaurant in Shimbashi. Wanted to try before they move to Yugawara in Kanagawa Pref. next month. A few people already lined up before the opening, and as soon as they opened, immediately all seats were taken. Very popular in this area.

  The other customers at the restaurant all spoke Chinese... They have some dim sum you can order by plate, which I want to try some time in the future. プーアール茶 Pu-erh tea Lunch soup Roasted duck lunch 杏仁豆腐 Annin tofu

 A quick break while waiting for the test result at Ito Hospital.

 

  They're made in Macedonia.

虎屋さんの白味噌仕立てのお雑煮。年末年始、学校が始まって、チビ達が風邪ひいて、日々過ごして気がついたら1月も後半。もう年始の雰囲気はなくなり、街は次のイベントのささやかな豆まきと大々的なバレンタインがあちこち目に付く。幼稚園では卒園の準備が始まり、あっという間に春になってしまいそう。 今年もよろしくお願いします。  

 

  いつもは大行列のお店に全く人が並んでいない。はてどうしたものかと思ったら、カヌレが予約販売になったようで、せっかくだから、目についたこのクッキーを購入。バターたっぷり、真ん中にもバターが。とてもリッチ。
