The shape is becoming like a thisle flowerhead

We call thisles " Azami" , and artichokes "Chosen Azami",or just" artichoke" in Japanese. This artichoke flowerhead is becoming like a thistle's one. I cooked its bud just once. It tasted like edible lily bulbs. Then, I had decided to look rest of the flowers growing. One day , I found these purple petals coming out.It turned out cute.

Artichoke flower

This artichoke flower is flowering so slowly. However, the half of the flower is dying.

kung Fu Panda

I have been watching several Disney movies, they were unexpectedly good.This DVD is so interesting, because It is dubbed in several languages, and has several subtitles.I want to keep it. Now, I am thinking whether I am buying or not?

Seasonal Mr. doughnuts

This green bear shaped doughnut was a macha flavored . It was cute. I have a bear shaped cookie cutter, so I want to make similar ones next time.

This is a blue berry flavored Yaki-doughnut, or a baked doughnut. Recently, yaki-doughnuts are very popular in Japan due to being lower in calories than deep-fried ones.

Two of them were orange flavored and the green one was a macha and azuki-bean flavored. They were yummy.

Artichoke 3

I realized that artichokes' edible parts were so little that I decided to see how they grew. They are growing little by little, and the petals are getting gross.???

Unfortunate events No.1 ~ No.3

I have read these three books in this summer. Sigh, I still need an English dictionary.However, I really enjoyed reading them.

Pita bread

Since I live in a small town in a rural area, I can't buy pita bread. Therefore, I made some homemade pita bread. All of the shapes were strange,

but they have pockets(caves?).When I made them, it was raining. I wanted to sand some fresh lettuce, cucumbers, cheery tomatoes and chicken or bacon, but I put some chilli con carne instead. It's because I had some frozen chilli con carne which my sister gave. It was good.

Freebie + Freebie

This tote was a Kirin beverage's promotion gift. Anyone could have same bags , so I added a pocket on it. This pocket's fabric was also a Itoen's promotion gift which used to a cotton towel. Now I can recognize my tote.

Uchiwa, or a round fan

If we rent two Disney DVDs or BluerayDiscs we can get a Disney movies printed uchiwa , or round fan at a rental video shop called Geo in my town. So, I rented 6 DVDs in a short time, and got three uchiwa. To my dissapointment, two were the same paterns.

All the way from...Texas.

This is a second-hand book of Goblet of Fire , Harry Potter last year(?).I didn't expect this book was so thick. Therefore, I didn't read it at all. LOL It's interesting, because there some stains but no scrribles in it.

Ladybug

When I spot at a ladybug, it is so cute. However ladybugs eat flower leaves and vegetable leaves a lot, which makes me sad.

Artichoke 2

Cocoa flavored muffin 2

This time I used a different recipe. Ummm, they turned out so-so. Sigh!

Black currant

I bought a black currant plant last fall. This year it produced some berries. They tasted a little more sour than I expected. Maybe I need to put fertilizer for it.

Homemade Rasberry Jam

Our rasberry trees produce lots of berries each year, and we have got lots this year as well. we can't eat all of fresh berries, so we made some resberry jams.

Cocoa flavored muffins

Recently I have been crazy about baking muffins, I am NOT a good baker though.The muffins which I made were a little oily(or greasy?), so I used a different recipe this time. I used less margarine and used more eggs than previous ones....They need more moist. Ummm...?Anyway,they turned out cute! Can you see that all of these pigs' eyes arel different. When I bought a silicone mould, I didn't know how to take out sweets properly. Therefore, the sweets' shape were not nice.
