Tempura

Grandpa, my father-in-law, came home from taking a morning walk with a basketful of edible herb called "Yomogi".

He said he found the good place a lot of Yomogi's sprouts were coming out, so he picked and brought them back home.

His main purpose was to make me cook "Yomogi Tempura", his favorite dish for dinner.

It was delicious! and we know the spring has come and we are in the middle of it!

Reading

I like reading books both in English and in Japanese on my bed.
Yes, I like reading especially BEFORE sleeping.

Reading (a little bit difficult) books makes me sleepy in half an hour or so.
I have no trouble with getting to sleep.

I am reading the book "The View from Saturday" written by E.L.Konigsburg.
They say she is a famous author of American literature for Children.
I didn't know her, but I found her books in the library. It was very rare there were English books at the CHLDREN's corner in LOCAL library. So I decided to read one.
They are great, well written. Through chldren's (characters') experiences, I can easily understand and imagine other culture, American culture.
