miso soup

- shiitake mashroom soysause rice with instant miso soup -

finally it's getting colder in Japan and

great season to enjoy soups!

especially miso soup

i don't prefer to eat in hot summer days

but now

i'm already missing miso soups.

all you need is :

miso

finely chopped green onion

(wash them and wipe them before adding for longer preservation)

a pinch of dashi stock

or

dried bonito flake

just put them together!

if salty, add a teaspoon of mirin

this miso paste can be presereved about a week in fridge

just make a ball of miso paste and

place it in the alminium foil

then grill for a few minute in the toaster

until its surface gets slightly browned

ready to carry miso paste in your bento!

tuck it in your lunch box

(if you eat at home, no need to grill)

take seaweed(nori) with you

and shred nori after adding hot water

done!

dried bonito flake and dashi stock

today's lunch

- tomato omlet sandwich -

mix egg,cheese,diced tomate

with salt and pepper

&

dried basil

cook omlet and add ketchup if you like

i used the soybean buns!

the lunch box is designed for storing a bagle.

(i got this for myself 'casue i'm a big bagle lover!!)

i am opening a new store of lunch boxes and stuff

in a week or so.

this box will be sold at my new shop,

so i will update when the website is ready!!

crossing his legs

he said "mama, look!" crossing his legs

,trying to act like adults.

after i looked at him thru camera lenz,

i felt he is growing so fast.

but
i felt relieved
to see him eating the doughnut,
with icing sugar smeared across his mouth :)

sweet potato cream

finally

it looks like summer ended(still hot in the afternoon)

then

autum is the season to eat in japan :)

i got some sweet potatos and decided to cook sweet potato cream

for lunch!

just

cook some sweet potato in the microwave until they are cooked

and

mash them with fork

add some sugar and milk(and vanilla extract)

then a little little bit of salt.

that's it.

good with pancake,toast!

seeking coolness

we went to marugame castle

still(it's already September 12!)

we can hardly stay outside and play...

35℃　highest / 26℃ lowest

but

we could feel a bit of autum air in the wood...

we did not go outside and play for a while

so as soon as we got there, he started to run and never stopped...

i coold feel how much he misses playing outside

by the way

this is my "mama chari" !

i got this a few days ago because it was super cheap.

it's fun riding a bike for the first time in years and

makes things easier like going to post office where

there is no parking lot.

and...

makes me not to drive a car more often...

yes,i got a reason for not driving a car!

i hate driving... :)
