I am busy during every summer vacation.
I was preparing for supper in the early afternoon.
The sky became dark and I got the washings in a hurry.
Thunder and heavy rain came over.
It blacked out in the daytime.
I continued cooking with the air-conditioning blasting. 
That was a fearful storm I had.
I felt that the room became hot and stuffy.
Then I realized the air-conditioner wasn't working.
It seemed to have stopped because of the thunder.
I was asked by men at the gym today.
"Were you absent from here due to the rolling thunder yesterday?".
And I knew there was a blackout then.

 Do you see me strutting like a peacock?　I think it to be ideal. I reduce only fat without suddenly reducing my weight. Chances are high to reach 22%

It is the first production. I cooked it in imitation of a recipe that I found on NET. And I seasoned it like KIn-pira Gobou in sugar and soy sauce. I was pleased that my family ate it with gusto. Well, how shall I cook it next time?

I was given bitter gourd yesterday. Only once, I had given it, and cooked it while asking my husband how to cook. I seasoned it like Okinawan.

This time, how shall I cook it?  I am worry a great deal. I checked some recipes for bitter gourds some time ago. How about "Goma-ae ; dress it in a sesame sauce" or "Kinpira" ?

But I can't get very enthusiastic about the cooking.

Last Saturday, I got my work done early and went shopping with my husband. I left my house at half past 1 p.m. and got home at a little past 5:00 p.m..

We were tired of walking and took a break. Perhaps I ate this pon-de-ring for the first time. After I got home, I checked the calorie on NET. It was just what I thought, but I was surprised, that had a high fat content. Such a small doughnut has 10 to 20g fat. Don't you know that?

Please, do not say, "Leftovers lunch". I cook all of dishes everyday.

Yesterday, I cooked vegetables for two hours. The vegetables which my parents in law sent. The vegetables which an  acquaintance gave me. The vegetables which a neighboring person gave me.

My refrigerator is jam-packed!  Though I am overwhelmed with gratitude, it is troubled. It's too much. I sometimes wanna eat out with my husband but must eat up them. Hang in there!

Is it still the rainy season?  Blue sky, Buzzing of cicadas, Young blueberry. All of those let me know that summer comes. I just cleaned my house or did the house chores, I got sweat quickly.

By the way, after the chores, I cut a melon in season which my aunt in law gave me. It was enough sweet to soothe my tired body after a hard work.

I weeded out with temperatures hovering around 33 degrees Celsius. There was a time for everything. It was very slack weeding. I cleaned only an outstanding place. Even so, I got sweat a lots and palm pain a little. At any rate, the half of my garden became much clearer.

I liked a hair barrette and it was broken down. Because I used to use it everyday. 

By the way, the end of rainy season will come and hot summer will be here, too. In summer time, I cannot go out without a parasol or a hat. I want someone to carry my bags, a parasol a bag and a few shopping bags. They make me tired and make me sweat. Bring it on, summer!

First of all, I'll go shopping tomorrow, I should buy new barrette........ with a parasol.

I am glad to be given gift certificates, but have no chances to use up. I went to a department store with some gift certificates left over the other day. Anything special I want? No, I have everything I want to have.

Actually, I wish I had enough gift certificates to buy expensive items. I have very little choice. The day, I had lunch to use up them. But I thought the sushi cooked by myself was more delicious.
