Plants 2

left side: Italian parsley right: Lemon barm(?)

They've really grown up although I didn't take care of them at all... I use parsley sometimes to add to spaghetti or salad. As for right one, I used it just once to decorate on the cake. I haven't tried it for tea. It seems that it works well for perspiration. Hm, maybe I'll bake cookies with that herb sometime soon.

My plants 1


This is blueberry. I have this to make a blueberry pie. But this seed;omg in only less than one years old. So it has only one berry still...:( I wonder when I can make a blueberry pie with own berries.

Ume-shu(梅酒) jelly


Last night, I was going to go to practicing aikido but I skipped it because I was late to leave home falling asleep. I gave up aikido and I decide to make ume-shu jelly. My aunt, who cooks really well, gave us some Japanese apricots simmered with sugar. So I thought that'd be nice if I put them in jelly. And actually I didn't use gelatin. I used agar(寒天) or vegetable gelatin? This is the first time to use agar. So I didn't know how much liquid is proper amount. It seems that I add liquid too much or agar was a little. That's why too mellow. But tastes good!!

Now...

I was busy for some reasons. But now I'm released! It's still early afternoon. I'm wondering what to do today. Go out for jogging? No, it's too hot to do that. Go shopping? Hmm, I want to. But I'm poor now. Bake a cake? That'd be nice. But I should not take sweets so much... Well, tonight I have aikido practice...umm...should I go? I like to excercise, but for aikido,(to be honest) summer season is not acceptable for me...too hot and sweaty...terrible...(It's seacret.)

Shoben Kozo~summer style~


Hehe:) It's a kind of my pleasure to check his fashon when I pass through by him. He is standing in front of the police station. What a humorous person who changes his clothe...

How much does it work...?

One of my friend, she is sometimes(or always...) strange. She brings an iron dumbbell in her bag to go to a work every day. That is 1kg weight. According to her, she brings that to train to get muscles. but I doubt she could. Because she just has a bag and walks for 15 minutes, not lift up it repeatedly. But she believes she can get a training every day... I prefer a light bag for a work.
An iron dumbbell in a bag... isn't it a weapon? Ah, maybe she has that for self-defense...that'd be make sense... If you see a girl who has that cute bag, back off!

TOMATO!!!

My mom bought that huge tomato!! First I saw her holding a segment of that, I thought they would be apples.

hamburgers


Haha, not good shot. Really, after eating them I reminded I had a camera. How stupid of me. We had a super at freshness burger. Before that, we talked about burgers with some people. Somehow Macdnard is not so popular for Americans, Australians or other people from abroad. They say such like that Mac is not good but Mos burger is ok. That sounds strange a bit for me. Because who made Mac? I guess the taste is for westerners who eat those kind of food, like french fries, sandwichs, BBQ...I mean really western food. Well, I agree Mos or Freshness are better than Mac. But how much's the difference? Oh, well, that's ok. I don't mean to argue that here. I'm just wondering that. As for me, I feel like having Mac's french fries occasionally. And the CM makes me feel like trying new products even though I could guess the taste. But I usually don't expect that they would be delicious because they are processed food and cheep enough as them. For me, hamburger is just one of snacks, so that's ok.
