It is the pizza margarita which Queen margarita liked in the old days.

I ate a pizza for the first time since I left the parents' house and began a single life. When I went to Italy, I ate pizzas almost every day. And I have eaten Turkism pizza in Turkey. But, it was not so delicious. I like Italian pizzas more than Turkish.

The other day, I went out with my hubby to get something and had a pizza as a lunch. SAL, I order it in Italian accent to be in Japan.

My mother in law came and we visited relative's house to celebrate her brother's getting well. My uncles and aunts in law reminisced about the good old days that I heard  many times before.

And I concentrated on eating foods my mom brought. The next day, I gained weight.

I washed a blanket yesterday. I always wash dark colors separately, and wash a sweater separately, too...........

Of course I know it is good to keep writing English. But recently I have nothing to talk here. The duty as a local self-governing body was over and I reduced my working hours. It is still far to quit working though. 

If I quit work, I will stop studying English. Or can I go for overseas travel many times?  Don't I wish, I am going to continue English learning.

When on holiday, my hubby was out. Though I thought to eat out, it was hard to drink alone. Don't you think so? 

I made a stop at a super market and got boiled firefly squid. My hubby does not like to use appended venegared bean paste. But when I am alone, I use as is.　The dried fish named halfbeak I bought at Atami tastes as good as it looks.

It is fine today, and I had some visitors. It is a little hard to write an article about foods because of full belly.

Every time I walk past the shop. I want  to buy Goza-sourou, but don't want to spend money because of tightfisted.

That day, there was no line in front of the shop, so I bought four kaiten-yaki for 320yen. It is good for me to order takeout it and eat in my home every once in a while.

By the way, which do you eat first, "adzuki bean jam" or "white bean jam" ?

As the sweet alcoholic drink amazake made from sake lees which I made was so delicious before, I tried it again. Last time, I used a rice cooker, and this time, I used a crock-pot. 

I have some stock of sticky rice which has been send from my country. I kept it warm as rice gruel for about 10 hours. It was more delicious than my mother made. Quite frankly, I think I'm always doing a hell of a job.

I have some potted plants in my room. But I sometimes forget watering. Last summer, I put out kalanchoe, because it was dying and drying.

When my garden was covered with snow, the leaves which touched the snow died. I thought to cut off the part, but found it gaining flowering sprout. What a tough plant!

I took a break at an arcade in Atami.

That day, I had four meals, a breakfast at the hotel, the chopped horse mackerel and soba noodle as a lunch, and a combination meal at 3 p.m, and then I went to an okonomi-yaki-restaurant with my family near my house at night.

After I had the set menu, I regretted that I didn't order shore fishes. Of course, sliced raw cuttlefish is good, but I'll bet shore fishes are better than that.

Malus halliana blossoms out.

I had a phone call from a gardener not so long ago. I answered to him. "Because the trees of my garden have lots of floral buds, please come after flowering."

There were some flowers which did not bloom because I asked for the gardener to treat early last year.

I wanna have a bit of fun.

Traveling casually. As I wanted to fly by the seat of my pants, I just made hotel reservation in advance.

In Atami, I visited Kiunkaku. The great house has 3000 tubo(坪). I was surprised with perfect garden and luxury house. I want to live in such a house. Of course I do not weed.

Because I heard that shore fishes were delicious, I ate the chopped horse mackerel. Mmm.... dericious!

I had a cherry viewing party with my neighbors last weekend.

This cherry tree had been planted since before I moved to here. The cherry trees of the park got old and the people who gathered under the trees got old, too. There are many post-baby boom generations in my neighborhood.

Anyway, I cooked barrel of Sushi for it as my final work. I did all I could. I'm happy to be free up from today.

I have been taking pictures about for 2 years to place some images into my web page. And I realized that I always ate japanese style foods when I went out.

Spring, Bloom, Flowers, Sunlight, Daffodils, Tulip...........

Do you see?

Spring came.

Words are power, and give me imagination.

Welcome to my garden, flowers.
