about autumn

what do you love about autumn?
for me,
definitely fragrant olive!
smells so sweet,
reminds me of the arrival
of the season.
to tell you the truth,
i don't like autumn very much
because
the air of autumn just makes me feel lonely.
do you agree?
(my favorite season is summer)
but
dont worry
winter is coming
and
i will soon start missing autumn :)

i got these 3 postcards from an old lady at the castle ground where

we play in the weekend.

she stays there from 11 am to 4 pm almost everyday

and she says she draws 10,000 pcs an year and

give them to people and enjoys talking with people.

her grandchildren are all over 20yrs old...

can you imagine...

she is amazing.

powerful.

i love her words on the postcards.

" You find what you want to do. Not anybody else."

(chestnut)

this is what i want to tell to my son when he gets older.

"It's ok with who you are"

(fig)

it was raining all day today,

tried to be calm at home.

after this freshly squeezed grapefruit juice,

we took a walk in the rain 'cos no way that he could stay at home

all day...you know...

rice ball & vege sticks

the last post was about instant miso soup stock.

now

you can add a hint of mirin(or sugar) & grated ginger to the miso stock you made

and spread it on the rice balls!

then put them in the toaster or

fly in the pan.

and

if you still have more of it

add sesami oil (on top of mirin & ginger)

then

here is dip sause for vegetables!!

yummy

try it!

our today's breakfast
