A big truck& a small truck

When I was driving the highway in Japan, I found the two trucks in front of me.

One was much smaller than the regular size. The other was a large one.

However, both of them were called "truck".

The right one was almost twice larger than the left one.

It was so cute!!

"OINARI-SAN"

My friend's mother teachs my friends and me Japanese cuisine bimonthly.

This time, we made "Oinari-san".

Why is this cuisine called "Oinari-san"? That is because.....

it is covered with deep-fried tofu which Japanese has believed that a fox loves to eat very much. In some place, Japanese admire a fox as a kind of god which is called "Oinari-san" to wish a rich harvest.

Oinari-san is stuffed with boiled rice, burdocks and carrots.

Burdocks and carrots are mixed with rice which is tasted with 1+ 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon of salt and 80cc of vinegar.

They are folded with deep-fried tofu.

Deep-fried tofu, burdocks and carrots were to be dipped in each cooking liquid.

My favorite drawing

This is my favorite drawing which I bought about 8 years ago in Hochimin, Vietnam.

I love this orange drawing. The drawing is quite simple.

There are houses and a tree. The roof of houses reflects the sunset. This orange drawing makes me feel relieved and reassured.
