サラダ・ニソワース

６月２８日

 

我家には「困った時の肉御飯」と称する牛肉の炊き込みご飯始め

御菜に悩んだ時の定番料理が幾つかあるがそのうちの一つ、今日は

「サラダニソワーズ」が登場。

うっかり写真を撮ってしまったが、これにアンチョビーと黒オリーブを載せて完成という事。

生野菜が沢山食べられるのが良い。

When I'm unsure about side dishes, there are several go-to recipes, and today, one of them is the "Salade Niçoise."  I accidentally took a photo, but it's complete with anchovies and black olives on top.  It's great because we get to eat plenty of fresh vegetables.

スフレ・ブリュレ・パンケーキ

久し振りに長男と孫娘と４人で夕食をした。少し高級な回転寿司で満腹。雲丹が美味かった。デザートは場所をかえ少し高級な喫茶店。デザートは名物の「昭和のプリン」が売り切れで「スフレ・ブリュレ・パンケーキ」を注文。注文してから２０分かかると書いてある。待ちがいのある美味しさ。待っている間の孫との語らいは極上のものであった。

I had dinner with my eldest son and granddaughter after a long time. We went to a slightly upscale revolving sushi restaurant and ate until we were full. The sea urchin was delicious. For dessert, we went to a different upscale cafe. The specialty "Showa-style pudding" was sold out, so we ordered the "Souffle Creme Brulee Pancake." It said it would take 20 minutes after ordering. The deliciousness was worth the wait. The conversation with my granddaughter during the wait was truly wonderful.

ダーバン

６月２１日

 

この紫色のカラー　”ダーバン”　は枯れてしまった様だったので諦めていたところ

この夏、五つ、六つ、莟を持ち始め、今朝、二つ花開いた。

これは嬉しい！！

I had given up on this purple color called "Darban" because it seemed to have withered.

But this summer, it started sprouting five or six buds, and this morning, two flowers bloomed.

I'm so happy about this!!

父の日

６月１８日

 

今年も父の日がやって来た。毎年,子供たちが「父の日のプレゼント」を必ず贈ってくれる。感謝・感謝。

それは素晴らしく心が温まる。老い先は短いので死ぬまで続けて欲しい。

Father's Day has come this year. Without fail, I receive "Father's Day presents" from my children every year. I'm grateful, so grateful. It's a wonderful and heartwarming thing. As my remaining years are limited, I hope this tradition continues until I pass away.

インドデイゴ

６月１６日

 

この印度デイゴは、もう三十年近く毎年、梅雨時の庭に鮮やかな朱色の花を見せてくれる。

今朝、何気なく花言葉をしらべてみた所「夢」・「生命力」とあった。

これは良い。

This Indian Coral Tree has been showing  crimson flowers in my garden every year for nearly thirty years during the rainy season. This morning, I casually looked up its flower language, and it said "dream" and "vitality." This is wonderful.

佐藤錦

６月１１日

 

努め人時代の同僚からサクランボを一箱頂いた。そのサクランボは彼の元部下が退職後農園を経営し収穫したものである。将に絶品。

I received a box of cherries from a former colleague from my working days.

These a Sato-Nikishi cherries were harvested from a farm run by his former subordinate who retired. They are truly exquisite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

紫陽花 Ⅲ

６月９日

 

裏庭の紫陽花達は全て藍色だったのに、ここ数年の間に桃色に変わってしまった。

五十年もの間ミセスマスダが愛でていた深い藍色の額紫陽花等はいつの間にか姿を消してしまった。

気候変動や土の影響によるのであろうが・・・・

紫陽花が藍色に,或いは紅色に咲くよう土に混ぜる肥料が売られているようなので

来年はチャレンジしてみようと思う。

ダイニングテーブルに飾った大輪のこの紫陽花の色は捨て難いが。

The hydrangeas in the backyard, which used to be all blue, have turned pink over the past few years.

The deep blue hydrangeas that Mrs. Masuda had cherished for fifty years have somehow disappeared.

It is probably due to climate change or the influence of the soil...

I heard that there are fertilizers available that can make hydrangeas bloom in blue or red, so I'm thinking of giving it a try next year.

The color of these large hydrangeas displayed on the dining table is hard to let go of.

紫陽花Ⅱ

６月５日 

 

紅葉の木陰では紫色の紫陽花が咲き始めた。

園芸店で求めた時は黒に近い紫だったのに・・・・

四枚目の写真は裏庭に咲く紫陽花、藍色が良いので、挿木して玄関脇に

植えて二年、漸く花を見せたが、これも三番目の写真の様にほんのりと美しい水色に・・・・、

In the shade of the autumn leaves, purple hydrangeas have started to bloom.When I purchased them at the garden store, they were closer to a dark purple...The fourth photo shows hydrangeas blooming in the backyard, and I liked  this dlue so  much.  So I took cuttings and planted them next to the entrance two years ago. Finally, they have shown flowers, but they turned out to be a faintly beautiful light blue, just like in the third photo...
