またまた again

2月も今日で最終日。
今夜も嫁の友達が我が家に来てくれました。
チーズフォンデュしたり大福食べたり。って食い過ぎた～。
一番右のめーは、3月に南米に旅行に行くらしい。
さようなら～。南米は危険がいっぱい。
2度と会えないかと思うと・・・悲しいのか？
いやいや、きっと無事帰国するでしょうか???

Today is the final day of Feb.

My wife’s friends were coming to my house tonight too.

We ate cheese fondue and soft round rice cake stuffed with sweet bean jam.

We ate too much..

The right girl in picture, Me-chan, will go to South America for sight seen in Mar.

So long! You may know South America is very dangerous.

If I think we may not meet again.. it is so sad.. really we feel sad?

I hope she can back to Japan safely but she can?

池上本門寺 Ikegami Honmonji

どもども、今日は東京に買い物に来ました。
朝、店が開くまで時間があったので、定番のお寺参り。
池上本門寺って何で有名なんかな？と思いながらのお参り。
日蓮宗の総本山で、日蓮上人がお亡くなりになったのが、この池上本門寺の
有る場所なんだってよ。
知ってた？
それと力道山のお墓も有って、そっちでも有名なんかもな。
そんな訳で境内で写真撮影。
それにしても天気良かったわ～。快晴～快晴！

Hey body! Today, I’m coming to Tokyo for shopping.

In the morning, I had time before shops were opened so I went to temple, Ikegami Honmonji.

The temple is very famous but I don’t know why it so famous.

The reason is this is the head temple of the Nichiren sect and Saint Nichiren was passed away at here, Ikegami Honmonji.

Have you known it?

And also there is Rikidozan’s grave, pro wrestler, so maybe it is famous the reason too.  

I’ve taken a picture in precinct.

By the way, the weather was so fine! So clear!

タコパー Takoyaki lunch

今日は、ヤマハ吹奏楽部定期演奏会。
ワシは行かないけど嫁と会社の友達が行くという事で、演奏会の前に
我が家でタコ焼きパーティー。
彼女は、ワシと同期でもあります。
お土産でお酒とか一杯貰いました。ただ・・、ワシ脂肪肝ですから～っ！
残念っ！

Today, Yamaha brass band concert will be held.

I’m not going to go there but my wife and our friend in Yamaha will go so before the concert, we had Takoyaki lunch in my house.

She is my contemporary too.

She has brought Sake and etc as souvenir but now I’m fat liver!

So I cannot enjoy it!

花粉症 Pollinosis

やって来ました、この季節。
そう、スギ花粉が飛んでます。先週土曜日からワシの鼻は彼らの来襲を敏感にキャッチ。
鼻水は勿論だが、今回は鼻の奥から喉にかけての粘膜もやられている様で
ヒリヒリ痛いのなんのって。
勿論、頭は何時も以上にボーっとしてます。
去年は目薬とマスクで何とか乗り切ったが、今年は全く無理っ!!!
火曜の仕事終わりに薬局へ駆け込み、薬剤師の言うがままに一番効く奴で
眠くならなくて、口が乾かないやつ購入!!!!
そう、その名も「アレグラFX」！
最近CMでお馴染みの奴ですわ。ホンマ効くんやろーな？と疑いつつ飲んでみると
メチャクチャク効く～～～ｯ!!!!!
全然マスクいらんやんっ！箱で買ったのどうないしてくれんねんっ！っつーくらい効いてます。
これ、絶対お勧め。ホント口乾かない。でも、やっぱ眠くはなるな。

You know, this season was coming!

What am I talking? Yes, I’m talking about cedar pollens floating.

From last Saturday, my nose sensitively caught their attack.

Running nose is of cause and also I’m feeling pain at mucous membrane in nose and bottom throat this time.

Also my brain is conscious less more than usual.

Last year, I could get over this problem with mask and eyewash but this time, it is completely impossible to endure with only them.

After finishing work on Tuesday, I run into drug store and I bought the most affective medicine but no dry mouth and not being sleepy as pharmacist advice.

Yes, the name of the medicine is “Aregra FX”!

Nowadays we may see the commercial on TV, right?

I was little bit doubt about the affection but it is really good!!!!!

Completely, I don’t need mask now!

You know how affect it is that I’ve bought a box of mask but now I don't need it.

How should I do it?

I really recommend this medicine to you.

It is really not dry mouth but I feel sleepy a little though.

嫁の職場の先輩が「注射すると全然違うよ～。」
とアドバイスをしてくれ、早速本日、念には念を入れて、おケツへ強烈な一発を覚悟し
紹介して貰った浜松の”とみた内科”へGO！
しかし・・・、ついでに最近内臓の調子も良くないのでエコーもお願いしたところ・・・。
脂肪肝、胃が荒れてます胃炎？。胆のう、十二支腸も・・・などなど良くないお話が。
肝心要のおケツ注射はナシ。ノドの痛みは感染症からも来てますので飲み薬で
様子をみましょう。という事でアレグラ追加購入（保険適用）。
そんな訳で、注射打ちに行ったのに肝臓やら胃やらの不具合で薬を7種類も
飲む事に。
あまりに体調が悪かったので3週間前からお酒は週2に減らしてたんだが
その努力虚しく。そりゃ3週間じゃな・・。と半分納得。

鼻の調子もいいし、どうせ会社休んだのでランチは美味しい物食べたいな。
って事で訪れたのが、食べログランキングお寿司部門　浜松第1位「大山屋」さん。
何が凄いってランチ　海鮮丼が￥750よ。
書き込みで開店後直ぐに満席になる。と書いてあったので11：10に入店。
ワシが一番乗り。そして、11：30には満席って書き込みスゲー。

お目当ての海鮮丼がこちらです。

My wife’s co-worker advised her injection helps a lot for Pllinosis so today, I went to “Tomita hospital” in Hamamatsu city for getting the great pain injection to my bottom for beating it perfectly.

And also I asked the hospital to check my stomach too by echo medical machine because nowadays I feel not good in there.

Then doctor said my stomach is little gastritis, gallbladder and duodenum are not good condition and especially my liver is getting fat like a foie gras.

I went to there for infection but I couldn’t get it.

He said my throat pain is coming from infection too so I need taking medicine for while and check how it is going.

So I purchase Aregra again with insurance cover.

Even though today I went to hospital for getting injection, I couldn’t get it and instead of it, I got 7 kinds of medicines for treating my stomach.

Since 3 weeks ago, I’ve reduced to drink alcohol to 2days a week but it hasn’t worked a lot.

Yes, I know it is only 3 weeks. Yah….I understand a little.

OK, I need to change my mind.

My nose condition is good now and I got day off today so I want to eat good lunch!

So I’ve visited the first position in Sushi restaurant ranking in Hamamatsu city, Ooyamaya.

You know what is good? It is seafood big bowl for lunch whose price JPY750.

I’ve read comments in internet the restaurant will be full soon after open at lunch time so I visited there on AM11:10.

I was the first person and on 11:30, there was full of people.

The comments helped me a lot!

This picture is my purpose menu a big bowl of seafood.

中央に鎮座している白い物体。これナントっ！ヒラメの肝。
カニだってカニカマではありまへんで。イクラも勿論人工ではありません。
全て本物！味噌汁、ポテサラ、メロンまで付いて￥750は安い！
大盛無料で、ちなみにこれが大盛です。
間違い無く大満足のランチでした。

White something, sitting in center of bowl is, saying, liver of flatfish.

You know, crab is not steamed fish paste.

Also salmon roe is not artificial roe.

All the seafood is real one.

The lunch has not only big bowl but also potato salad, miso soup and melon.

Isn’t it cheap enough?

And large serving is free so this bowl is the large.

I could really satisfy with this lunch.

朝食 Breakfast

先週、今週と週末関東は大雪みたいですな。
しか～しっ！静岡県西部は全く降りまへんで～！
雪はチラリとも来ませんでしたわ。

さてさて、朝食はパンなど軽めに済ませている家庭が多いかと思いますが、
我が家は、朝からガッツリ派。
朝から肉魚は勿論ですが、朝からラーメン、朝ラーも週一ペース。
ちなみに今朝は、朝から鍋～っ。
昨日スーパーで鱈が安かったので、鱈チリ鍋です。
冬の鍋っていいよね～。簡単だし野菜めちゃくちゃ食べれるし。
我が家では、週2回以上は朝食に鍋食べてますよ。

そんな訳で今朝の朝食です。鱈が野菜の下に隠れてしまってるが・・・・。

Last and this week end, Kanto area had heavy snow.

BU~~T! at west area in Shizuoka completely didn’t have any snow!

Even one pcs of snow didn’t come down.

Anyway, I think most of people may be eating light breakfast, like bread or something, but in our case, we eat a lot in breakfast.

Mainly we eat meat and fish but also we eat Ramen noodle in breakfast almost once a week.

Then today’s menu is Nabe cooking for breakfast.

Yesterday, cod fillets were cheap in supermarket so I cooked cod Nabe.

You know, Nabe cooking is very nice for winter because it is very easy and we can eat lots of vegetables.

In my house, we eat Nabe cooking more than twice a week in breakfast.

So this picture is today’s breakfast. The cod fillets are hiding under the vegetables so you may not see it though.

Everybody loves Raymond

トロントに居た時に、毎日欠かさず見ていた米国のコメディ番組「Everybody Loves Raymond」。
帰国してから10年が経ち、英語力の低下がどうにも止まらない。
そこで初心に帰り、当時大好きだったテレビを見ようと探したのがこの番組。
日本のAmazonでは結構な値段がしていて、二の足を踏んでいた所、たまたま
Amazon UKであればリージョンコードが同じで、米国より安くDVDを買う事が出来る事が有る。
との書き込みを見て早速検索。
有ったぜっ！しかも価格は全9シリーズが揃って￡35,89送料込。って安くね？
約6,400円よ。DVD44枚入り全２１0話。
発注から10日で無事届きました。

主人公のレイモンドは、妻デブラと3人の子供の5人家族でニューヨークに住んでいる。
彼らの家の前には道路を隔てて、強烈な個性のレイモンドの両親と兄の3人も住んでいて
毎日レイモンドの家に来てはトラブルを起こす訳よ。
恐妻家のレイモンドは、嫁姑の間に挟まれ日々悪戦苦闘。
少々オーバーでは有るが、多くの問題が日常に有りそうな事で共感が持てる。
いわゆるドタバタコメディーでは無く、会話の”間”で有ったり人間関係だったりがとにかく
面白い。全話を見た訳では無いし会話の半分も理解出来ないけど腹を抱えて笑える
シーンがメチャクチャ有ります。
もし、米国コメディーをトライしてみたい方には、私はフレンズよりもこっちを断然
お勧めします！
まぁ、Youtubeでも結構公開されてますので興味のある人は是非見てみて！

When I was living in Toronto, every day, I was watching US comedy show “Everybody loves Raymond”.

From back to Japan, 10 years have been gone and I cannot stop losing my English skill day by day.

So I remember original intention and I’ve tried to find this TV show for watching which I love.

I've found this in Japanese Amazon but it was expensive so I was wavering to buy but unexpectedly, I’ve found a comment that we can buy same region codes DVD in Amazon UK and we have chance to buy the price cheaper than in USA.

Soon after, I started to seek it and I could find it!

You know it’s true! The price is GBP35.89 including postage for all 9 series.

It’s cheap, right?

It is about JPY6,400, 44 DVD and 210 stories!

After placing, it was arrived safely to my hand in 10 days.

Main person Raymond is living in New York with 3 kids and his wife Debra.

His parents and big brother who have strong personality are living across a street from his house and everyday they are coming to Ray’s house and make troubles.

Henpecked husband Raymond is always gotten into the trouble between his wife and Mom.

It is little bit over reaction but most of troubles that we also have possibility to have same kind of situation in our life so I can sympathy the stories.

This is not slapstick.

Human relations and their talking ways are so funny.

I haven’t watched all stories yet and I cannot understand over half what they are talking but there are so many scenes which I can laugh a lot.

If you want to try US comedy, I really recommend this rather than “Friends”.

And if you have been interested in this, you can find this in Youtube too so try it.

らーめん Ramen

昼飯を食べに社食へ行くと家庭調理用御当地ラーメンを販売していて
全商品300円！Sale!と書いてある。
スーパーで売ってるラーメンだって3食大体200円前後。
4食入って御当地ラーメンで300円なら安いな～。と思い2箱購入。
そう￥600です。
中には20箱近く買ってる人もいて、おいおいそんなに買って食えるんか？
で、事務所に帰りネットで自分が買ったラーメンの価格を見てビックリ！
どちらも1箱￥1,050よ。
それが何故か￥300って安いわ～。価格チェック後もっと買おうかとも
思ったけど、いやいや我が家は夫婦2人きり週一で食べても1月かかるわっ！
と思い追加購入は止めときました。
年末あっちゃんから北海道ラーメン送ってもらって、今週からは米沢、金澤
ラーメンを堪能します！コレステロールが・・・・。

When I went to canteen, I found booth which is selling local famous restaurant ramen noodle for house cooking and the booth has sign “all packages are JPY300! Sale!”

You know even normal ramen noodle at super market, the price is about JPY200 for 3 people’s packages.

I thought these are cheap because all boxes are as many as 4 people’s packages and it is famous ramen restaurant’s noodle so I bought 2 boxes.

Yes, it is JPY600.

Lots of people were buying at there and one of them was buying about 20 boxes or more.

I worry about he could eat completely or not.

Then I’ve backed my desk at office and I was so surprised when I checked ramen price which I bought in internet.

Both of the list prices are JPY1,050 but I could buy them with JPY300.

I don’t know why it is so cheap but it’s good, right?

So I wanted to buy more but I changed my mind to give it up because my family is only wife so it takes as long as a month even we eat every week once.

End of last year, my friend Acchan sent me Hokkaido ramen noodles and I could enjoy them and also from this week, I can enjoy Yonezawa and Kanazawa ramen noodle!

I may have to care about cholesterol......
