今日は午前中は仕事を休み、近くの100円ショップに行きました。その前に、９時ちょっと過ぎにスーパーに行って、一本98円の大根などを買いました。
塩を葉っぱに振り掛け、よくもみました。
次にぬか床（どこ）に溝を３本作りました。
溝に葉っぱを入れ、
葉っぱを埋めました。
明日には美味しい大根の葉っぱのぬか漬けができると思います。
I also simmered some natsumikan peels. Then I headed for the 100-yen shop.
夏みかんの皮も煮ました。それから、100円ショップに向かいました。
Here are the items I bought:
Top: Myoga (Japanese ginger) roots
Bottom left: Asparagus roots
Bottom right: Fukinoto roots
私が買ったものです：
上： みょうが（茗荷）の根
左下： アスパラガスの根
右下： ふきのとう（蕗の薹、フキノトウ）の根
田舎そばと２種類の容器：
Top: Okura, two varieties of shiso
Bottom: Mitsuba, chuu dama (medium-size) tomato, and mulukhiya
種：
上： オクラ、シソ２品種
下： みつば、中玉トマト、モロヘイヤ
(2袋で105円でした。）
なぜ100円ショップに行ったかと言うと、このカラーボードを買うためです。
ボードは息子が去年サッカーボールで遊んでいる時に作った穴を直すのに必要でした。
どうにか直せました。
息子はサッカーボールを一回蹴っただけで、サイドミラーを壊し、この穴を開けたって信じられますか？
夏みかんの皮は水に漬けました。
Store-bought mini menchi (top) and regular-size beef korokke, which my wife bought last Monday.
Leftover shredded cabbage
Less rice than usual
今日の昼ごはん：
月曜に妻が買った市販のミニメンチ（上）と普通サイズのビーフコロッケ
残りのキャベツの千切り
普段より少ないごはん
まだダイエット中です。あと5 kg減量することにしました。まだまだ先は長いです！
Yesterday, my wife got a bag of fukinoto from her sister. My wife fried them with miso. So, it's a type of miso itame.
昨日、妻はお姉さんからフキノトウを１袋もらいました。味噌で炒めました。ですので、これは味噌炒めの一種です。
Miso itame ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am very glad to see you are preparing to a new gardening season. I bought exactly the same seeds (2 packages for 105 yen). I have sown some seeds much too early this year... They start sprouting, but it's been the coldest March for 27 years in my city.
The mysterious "baby leaves (or "reefs" ;-) ) were the first to sprout. I'm very curious to see what they will taste like and especially the chrysanthemum leaves I have never tasted in my life.
Myoga is the biggest discovery of my holidays in Tokyo and I would grow it if I had more space on balcony (although I'm not sure if it's possible). I saw it here only once in my Japanese shop.
I think of 100 yen shops with lots of nostalgia when I have meals in my 100 yen bowls, which are beautiful (maybe they have some production errors but I don't see any).
Gardening season has started in Niigata - so it seems. I am going to look out for some new plants too. Sadly my garden is too small to grow green asparagus, but I am thinking about ordering myoga (young plants).
ReplyDeleteGuess playing soccer around the house is now strictly forbidden.
Sissi: The link to miso itame images was meant for you (laugh)!
ReplyDeleteThe same seeds? It's a small world for two of us (laugh).
Sissi and Kiki: Here in the snowy region, people say nothing will grow if you plant before hachijuu hachi ya 八十八夜 (88th nights from Risshun 立春 (beginning of spring), that is, around May 2.
Kiki: Forbidden? He still plays with his soccer ball around the house!
Hah, your son must have a powerful kick!
ReplyDeleteIs myoga difficult to grow? It's almost impossible to find here, if I could obtain it, it might be easier to just grow it!
Still playing ball around the house.. You shoud have bought more boards and maybe a window or two. Son had to pay for damages caused by stupid behaviour for example wrestling with his friends, even after a serious warning to do this outside, and then he smashed the glass door with his lower back. Life is hard without much pocket money left for a few months.
ReplyDeletemuskratbyte: I don't think it's hard to grow myoga. Just keep in mind that myoga likes the shade.
ReplyDeleteKiki: At 16, my son is still like a child.
Here in California, I've started growing tomatoes and the sweetpeas and roses have started to bloom :)
ReplyDeleteYangsze: And, here in the Uonuma region of Niigata, we still have some snow left on the fields... Cherry trees will bloom in late April.
