やっと Finally

家庭菜園2年目。
今年こそ自分で育てたゴーヤを食べたい！
という一心で、5月のGWから毎朝、毎晩水をやり、肥料をやり、話しかける事
2ヶ月半。
ついに！ついに出来ました！
ワシが出張中に嫁が収穫。何でやねんっ！という思いは有りますが
まぁ、そこは大人の対応で・・・。
美味しくゴーヤチャンプルーで頂きました。

This is second year of my kitchen garden.

I really want to eat bitter melon which I was growing up.

So I gave them water every morning and night, manure and talking them for 2 months and half.

Finally I could get!!!

During my business trip, my wife cropped them.

I thought why she couldn't wait my back!!! But I endure it as adult.

I cooked bitter melon fry and ate them deliciously.

アジア出張 Business trip to Asia

20日から東南アジア出張～。
今回はマレーシア、タイ、インドネシア～。

何だかよ～。最近飛行機落ち過ぎじゃね？？
ビビるわぁ・・。
そんな訳でまずは羽田空港からシンガポールへ出発！

From 20th, I was on business trip to South East Asia.

This time, I will visit Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

You know, do you think airplanes crash too much nowadays?

I’m so nervous.

At first, I departed from Haneda airport to Singapore! 

で、メチャクチャ乗りたくなかったけど、マレーシアからタイへは今話題の
マレーシア空港・・・。
空港での手荷物検査は全然見てないし、職員のお喋りも酷い。
しまいには搭乗のアナウンスすら無し。
ロビーで待ってたら、何気に職員が通り過ぎ小声で
「搭乗手続き中。」ってボソっと。
マジか？？って思って搭乗口見たら他の客は既に搭乗済み。
そりゃ落ちるわっ！って思いました。
でも飛行機は革シートで新しい。
当然飛行機はガラガラでしたわ。

And then, I really didn’t want to get but I’ve used Malaysian air, very famous nowadays, from Malaysia to Thailand….

At airport, luggage check was almost through pass, the inspectors were enamored for talking and no boarding announcement.   

I was waiting at lobby and one staff was going through behind of me.

And he’s whispered “now everybody boarding”.

!!! I’ve stared at gate and other passengers have been already boarding.

I was assured their crush because of that kind of their attitude.

But the airplane has leather sheets and looks new.

Of cause, it had lots of vacant sheets.

母ちゃんズ Mothers

おいっす！
昨日からワシの母と弟の嫁の母の母ちゃんズが我が家にやって来ました。
で本日、今回の最大の目的伊勢神宮参拝。
不思議なもんで、伊勢に着くまでは雨が降っていましたが、着いた途端に
カラっと晴れて、ワシの普段の行いの良さが現れましたわ～。
日帰りで行ったので結構大変でしたが、帰りには名古屋名物
ひつまぶしも頂き内容の濃い一日でした。
明日はピアノ工場見学に行って来ます。
内宮前で写真撮影。左がワシの母、右が義理の妹の母です。

Hi!

My Mom and brother’s wife’s Mom came to my home yesterday.

So today, I took them to Ise Jingu which is their main purpose of visit.

Till we getting there, weather were rain but when we get, the rain was stop and it was really fine.

You know why? I think because god knows my good attitude in every day.

It was one day trip so on back way, we could also stop at Nagoya for eating Hitsumabushi.

It was really good day and I’ll take them to Piano factory tomorrow.

This picture was taken in front of Naiku in Ise Jingu.

Left is my Mom and right is my sister in low’s Mom.

雌花開花ーーっ！ Female bloomーー！

お早う御座います！
先週末、大阪の嫁の実家へ行って来たんだけど、まぁ、立派なゴーヤが
今年も実ってましたわ～。
つーか、まだ7月に入ったばかりなのに、もう既に5～6本食べたとか言ってたわぁ。
んなアホな。早過ぎるわ。
一体何をどうしたら、そんなに早く実んねん。
で、我が家のゴーヤ君達にお前らも頑張れ、頑張れって気合いをかけたら
ワシの願いが通じたのか、本日雌花の開花を確認！
さぁ、今度は大きくなれよーーーっ！

Good morning!

Last week, I went to my wife’s home and in there, they had big bitter melons this year too.

My parents in low said they have already eaten 5 or 6 better melons but you know, now still in Jul.

It is too early.

I cannot understand how they can get them.

So after backing to my home, I cheer up my daughters “let’s go let’s go!” and today, I could find female bloom.

My yell may reach to them.

I’m going to care her to growing up from today.

ゴーヤ7月 Goya bitter melon in Jul

今日から7月スタート！
そんな訳で我が家のゴーヤ君達の成長をアップします。
背丈は私を越えましたが、まだ雌花は開花しまへん。
古木さんから頂いた黒竹も元気で葉っぱボーボー。
まるでモップ。

気になった人も居るかと思いますが、私が来ているシャツ。
嫁からは「うゎっ!!!ダっさっ！」と大絶賛されました。
これ鯉口というシャツ。
日本手ぬぐいで出来ていて、非常に軽く涼しい～。
いいよ～、これ。

From today, Jul is starting.

So I want to update my Goya bitter melon growing up.

They are going over my height but female flowers haven’t been blooming yet.

Black bamboo, gift from Furuki-san, is very fine and they have leaves a lot.

Looks like mop.

You may notice my shirt, right?

When my wife see this shirt, she said “Oh~~!!! It’s so tasteless!!!”

This shirt is called “Koikuchi”.

This is made with Japanese towel so very light and cool.

I think this is very nice shirt.

How do you think?

カニ Crab

来月12日に北海道から母親と弟の嫁さんの母が静岡にやって来ます。
で、母チャンズが気を使ってカニを送ってくれました～。
北海道に住んでた時には、カニなんて面倒臭くて食べなかったけど、
離れて解るふる里の味。
えっ!!!!!?　カニってこんなに美味かった????って位美味いのよ～。
しかも毛カニはチャンピオン！

On 12 Jul, my mother and my brother’s wife’s mother will come to my house.

So the mothers send me this crab for showing us their thanks.

When I lived in Hokkaido, I didn’t eat crabs because it is troublesome but now I can understand my home food taste.

You know, it is really good taste.

Even though I’ve eaten some time in Hokkaido long time ago, but I was surprised with the great taste.

And this hairy crab is the best!

来たぜアスパラっ！ Asparagus coming!

いやぁ～、今年も来ました北海道産アスパラ！
篤子さんに、そろそろ庭にアスパラ生えてきたか～？
生えたら送ってな～。ってリクエストしたら直ぐに送ってくれました。
でも・・・、これって佐藤家の庭に自生している奴じゃなく、
ちゃんとした奴を送ってくれました。（恐縮です。）
何か、紫色のも入っているが、これ何だ???見た事無いぞ。

我が家のゴーヤが大きく育った日には一番に送りますよ～。
いや、静岡名産品を何か送りましょう。
でも、静岡名産品ってお茶か???
お茶じゃ能が無いな・・・。何かヒネリが必要か？
流石、悪友篤子さん。一味違うぜ。

You know, Asparaguses were arrived from Hokkaido this year too!

I’ve asked Atsuko-san how about asparagus in your garden?

They may be coming soon, right?

If you get them, please send me~~!

BUT!!! These are not from her garden….

This must be from greengrocery.

And also I can see purple one. What are they?

I have never seen this kind of asparagus.

I will send her soon when I could harvest my Goya bitter melon.

No, I’m going to send you something special of Shizuoka.

But… what is special in Shizuoka?? Is it green tea??

No, tea is very normal. I have to think something special for her.

I really appreciate them to my worst friend Atsuko-san!

You are really nice of me! Thanks!
