Visiting a Shrine ☆

It was a beautiful winter day, and Christmas eve also, I visited Kitano-tenmangu shrine that is well known for the gods of study enshrined.

There hung a big Japanese ema (pictorial offering) on the gate. 2014's symbolic animal (Chinese zodiac sigh), horse! 

We wash our hands to purify ourselves before worshiping at the shrine. Sorry for forgetting to take a picture of main shrine! 

I bought some New Years lucky charm there. 

And....hmmm...What a pity! Food stalls are closed!!  :'(  The fair day is the 25th of every month, so there will be a great crowd tomorrow!! 

No problem! I have icecreams in my freezer ♪♪♪ hehehe 

New Year's Decorations!

I went to nearby DYI store and found this! Wow! New Year's pine and bamboo decorations! Where're Christmas trees?? hahaha 

My grandma sent me a box of mandarin orange(Mikan). 

I gave some to my neighbor and she gave me sweet potato(Satsuma imo)! Wow!! It's purple inside!! I deep fried it. 

Yummy!! :)))

Crab Tomato Pasta!

Hi there!! 

I just got crabs and made pasta. They are already boiled so it's easy to cook. 

The hardest part is to break up the crab meat into pieces. I pricked my fingers on it several times. Ouch! 

Fry chopped garlic with olive oil, add canned tomatoes, crab meat and season it with salt and black pepper.

Need a glass of white wine? Perfect! ヽ(´▽｀)/

Agedashi Tofu ♪

 It's getting cold, and how are you?

 I started wanting to eat something hot. Well...not spicy, so, something warm!! 

I usually have tofu in my fridge. I thought it a good idea to make "Deep fried tofu(soybean curd)  with dashi soup" !

First cut tofu into some pieces. Then coat them with potato starch. 

And deep fry them... 

Eat them with daikon radish, ginger and green onion !! ♫ Yummy! (๑'◡'๑)❤

Pizza pizza pizza ☆

On my way home from field trip, I had a lunch at an Italian restaurant. Pizza Margherita, che buono!! 

The restaurant was on the 10th floor. Can you see the mountains reflected on the wine cellar? 

Back home, I made ニラベタ(Jeon). 

wheat flour+ egg + water + leek 

I can't eat any more! I am fuuuull!♪

Fish and chips...?♪

Didn't know they use ale to make the Fish. So I cooked nomal（...what's nomal?lol）one. Nothing is so tasty as the freshly-fried Fish!! Munch munch....

Only a few pieces were dished up with salad. hahaha

Happy yummy weekend!!

On a Sunny Day ♪

It was such a beautiful autumnal afternoon,

I strolled in the park.　

Colored leaves were dancing in the breeze.

Although my fingers and nose were flozen

(I felt like that...), I found myself excited

like a kid.

It was a little early for viewing colored momiji.

Maybe 20th~30th November is the best timing

to visit Kyoto for momiji ;))

On my way back home, I saw the first Christmas

tree this year in the mall!! WOW!!

Should think about presents already??? LOL!

Back at home, I made a dish with fish my dad

had sent me. (Huge one again!)

Hope you enjoy autumn,too!
