Happy
22:20 from web
My friend had a baby-girl on March in this year.
THey had not done it for ten-years although they were eager to.
22:27 from web
So I'm really happy for them
I can't wait to see them and their baby.
22:35 from web
I have many friends who are infertile.
I feel sorry for them.
But I dare say the life without kids would be also fabulous.
22:41 from web
Raising up children is really hard even if they are cute.
Actually it wears me out !
22:45 from web
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. (haha)
22:49 from web
My friends who don't have children often stay out late at night !
Thier life seemes to be sparkling sometimes.
22:53 from web
Needless to say I'm proud of myself.
I blieve raising up children means investing in the future.
It's wonderful job
22:54 from web
Ok, that's for now.
Good night !

X'mas is most favorite season for everyone, I think.
Despite the cold weather, we feel something warm and tender in our heart.
So wonderful

I felt quite cold today.
According to the weatherforecast the temperature will drop very low tomorrow.
23:29 from web
At last it is begginning to feel like winter.
It's natural as X'mas is around the corner.
23:37 from web
I went to beauty clinic and beauty salon today.
I spend almost all day there.
I got laser treatment on my face.
23:40 from web
Because I want to get rid of my blemish !!!!!
I use expensive cosmetics in order to do that.
Honestly it doesn't work on my skin.
23:44 from web
That makes me feel empty.
I don't know how much money I've used for them.
23:52 from web
Talking about blemish, I would say laser treatment is best one.
I want to keep my ideal skin by receiving such treatment.
23:56 from web
I should be greateful for my hubby's understanding.
Thanks, darling !
I spent like mad for my beauty.
23:58 from web
Ok, good night.

エレママ オフ会はミシュラン”つちや” でグルメ・ランチ! #goo_chau_0725 http://bit.ly/egST4e
23:21 from web
It was sunny.
But I didn't go out.
Can you believe that I stayed at hom all day long !
Actually I was busy even if I didn't go out .
23:26 from web
My children and I decorate a x'mas tree with many ornaments.
As it's a big tree, it looks very gourgeous with them.
My children were <cont>
23:30 from web
...very excited.
But most excited person is probably me.(haha)
Don't you think , X'mas is a happy time even for adults?
23:38 from web
My old friend who is Taiwanese send me a X'mas gift from Taiwan.
I was glad. We've done it each other for lonng time.
Very good friend.
23:43 from web
I don't know the words to express my feeling.
I often feel "English is difficult !", as I'm not sure the dedicate nuance of English words.
23:50 from web
Generally in Japan we don't need to use English.
Nobody speaks it except non-Japanese people.
Improving English skill is not easy here !!!!
23:59 from web
I might have made a mistake....
I'm haunted by such kind of idea when I send an E-mail.
I want to crash through that language wall !

エレママ オフ会はミシュラン”つちや” でグルメ・ランチ!

2010年12月05日 | グルメ
 こんにちは、櫻井マリアです。
 目の前で揚げてもらったばかりの天ぷらをいただくのって贅沢。
エレママのオフ会はあの噂のお店”つちや”で。お店の情報はこちらをクリックしてね地図|大阪 天ぷら 江坂 和食【旬彩天つちや】接待 日本料理 地図|大阪 天ぷら 江坂 和食【旬彩天つちや】接待 日本料理

 ブログ上でも有名なグルメなエレママ、ひろりんの行きつけなの。
一汁二菜の元料理長の土坂幸彦さんのお店ということで、わたくしもこの日がずっと楽しみで、ワクワク・ドキドキ
本日のメンバーは、某私学小学校に通う娘のママ友達ひろりんとみどりんとわたくしの三人。

 お座敷もあるけれど、天ぷらは目の前で揚げてくれるのが醍醐味だから、やっぱりカウンター席に決まり
そしてカウンター席は、お喋りが楽しめる少人数でこじんまり行くのがgoodね。



 ここの天ぷらは素材が厳選されていて、何もかもが美味。
ランチに天ぷら・・・なんて馬鹿にしちゃいけなくってよ。その奥深さは目からうろこですもの!
マリアが一番驚いたのは自家製ごま豆腐の天ぷら!
ころもにおかきを砕いたものをつけて揚げてあるの。いわゆる変わり揚げというものね。
中のごま豆腐はとろけるように柔らかくてまるでお餅のよう・・・、外側のカリカリという歯ごたえのある衣と好対称でインパクト大。あぁ、思い出すだけで、うっとりしちゃう・・・それに前菜も洗練された味わいだったわ。


 熱々の天ぷらに、ホットな会話。女子会はこうでなくちゃね
そうそう、ご紹介するわ。本日のメンバー、ひろりん、みどりんはお二人とも歯科医師の奥様。ちょっと近づきがたいセレブオーラを醸し出しているお二人・・・学園のママの中での位置づけは女王様(ひろりん)と姉御(みどりん)ってとこかしら。
何だかすごそうでしょ?どんな風に女王様で、姉御なのか・・・それはまた、ごゆっくりとお話いたしますわね。
おホホ・・・


 とにかく、ここのお店”つちや”(大阪・江坂)なら間違いなく感動の天ぷらを頂くことができるので、ご興味のあるかたは一度お出かけくださいね。大人デートにもお薦めよ。

    では、美味しい天ぷら(の映像)をお楽しみくださぁい・・・
 目の前で一品づつ天ぷらをあげてくれます。

 
 お店の中はこんな感じ。
 
    

 
   前菜 お品のよい味付けです。

 
 天つゆ以外に、三種類のお塩でいただくことができます。精製した塩(一番しょっぱい)、昆布だしの入ったお塩、ヒマラヤ岩塩 ピンクの塩(マイルドな塩味)

 
 鳥取県産のブロッコリー

 いか と大葉

 琵琶湖のワカサギ。まるで、泳いでいるみたいでしょ!実物を見たら、本当にビックリだから!!

 エリンギみたいに見えるけれど、これは山しめじ。きのこの旨味がぎゅっと詰まった天ぷら

鳴門金時と下仁田ネギの天ぷら。甘みの強い鳴門金時にあわせて、わざと下仁田ネギの天ぷらを一緒に出しているんですって!バランスがグッドです~!

お食事 ご飯、お味噌汁、お漬け物、ちりめんじゃこのふりかけ、酢の物

 酢の物 ほどよい酸味でお口の中がさっぱり

 見て見て~!このお漬け物の中でひょうたんの形をした可愛いもの、これは、本当にひょうたんの実のお漬け物なんですって!


 デザート 最後の緑茶でスッと気持ちが落ち着くの。う~ん、さすが!たくみな計算ね。

         ごちそうさまでした・・・ 

  
 お店の外観 小さいながらも風情のある前庭がステキです。皆さまも是非、お出かけになてみてください。

12月3日(金)のつぶやき Look at that yellow leaves !

2010年12月04日 | 日記

It was rainig early in the morning.
But it cleared up and got warm day time.
I went to see a doctor today.
He is my doctor.
22:33 from web
He's contributed to my beauty !
So I bought him a champagne as a token of my gratitude.
Although it is a little bit early for X'mas gift.
22:37 from web
I choose Rose champagne of Lois Roderer.
I didn't know his taste. So I felt uneasy.
But fortunately he told me that it was his liking !!
22:44 from web
According to him, he drinks only "Lois Roderer" and "Detanje."
Wow !! Bingo !
My choice was right.
22:46 from web
What a coinsidence
I like it , too.
22:53 from web
Selecting gift is very difficult , when you don't know his or her taste.
I think I used full of my imagination.
And it become success !
22:55 from web
So I'm happy.
Oh, my hubby has come back.
That's for now.
Good night !

Wow...! Look at that yellow leaves! It's so beautiful, shining under under the sun.
The name of this tree is "ginko."
According to the language of flowers, ginko has meanings such as
"Long life","Requiescat"and "gainly calm."
I didn't know that it has such a tasteful meanings!

わ~!見てあの黄色い葉っぱ!太陽で光って、とても綺麗
この木の名前は銀杏
花言葉によると、銀杏には「長寿」「鎮魂」「しとやか」といった意味があるのだとか
そんな渋い意味があったなんて知らなかった!


In fact ginko live to a great age.
Can you imagine they live more than 1000years.
Moreover they are said to grow very fast.
So Japanese people see ginko as a symbol of prosperity and powerful development.
Mmm...now I'm beginning to feel ginko is a kind of glorious tree!

実際、銀杏は長寿なの。
樹齢千年以上の木もあるなんて信じられる?
さらにいうと、成長もとっても早いんですって。
それで、日本人は銀杏を繁栄と力強い発展のシンボルとみなしているわけね。
う~ん・・・銀杏が何だかありがたい木に思えてきたわ!

It may be a trivial, small thing, but definitely it makes me happy.

The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns;
the pessimist stares at the thorns,
oblivious to the rose.

Which type are you belonged to?
It might be difficult sometimes, but I try to accept everything as they are.
I believe doing it about yourself is very important.
Including the thorns, the rose is beautiful.
Including your weekpoints, you are attractive.
I feel so. 
楽天的な人は、バラを見てトゲをみない
悲観的な人はトゲばかりじっとみつめているうちに 
美しいバラの存在を忘れてしまう。

 あなたはどちらのタイプ?
難しい時もあるけれど、わたくしは、そのままの姿、全部を受け入れようと思うの。
自分自身のありのまま全てを受け入れることってとても大事。
トゲも含めて、バラは美しい・・・・
自分自身の弱い部分も含めて、魅力的。
そう感じるわ。
