today's lunch

a pasta with shiitake mushroom and shishitou which is a jaapnese hot pepper. shishitou doesn't taste hot usually, but there is a few very hot ones sneaking sometimes. then we yell, "I got hit!!".

tonight cigar

I've bought a cigarillo and a mini cigar on my way to go home. griffinos and macanudo ascot. I've tried maduro ascot before. it's different from each other. they are nice for people who wanna smoke, but don't have enough time.

kikuhime

I hardly drink sake though, I like drinking sometime. it's drinkable without chilled.

le puits de james

I've tasted his wine for a long while. This wine is very nice. juicy, not thick, taste smoothly and nice tannic. I've really hesitated to open it at the first, but I'm happy to drink it tonight. perhaps, it can drinkable after a while years, but it's good now as well. I can enjoy it without thinking. it makes me happy obediently. Perhaps, my confition is also good tonight. anyway I wanna say thank to Alquier.

today's pasta

I've cooked a fusilli with olive, potato, haricot, tomato, and Aji no himono. Aji no himono is one of Japanese traditional ingredient. it's a dried fish, horse mackerel. I think people would like it.

Beaujolais Nouveau

We've tasted 9 bottle of nouveau tonight. The wines we've tasted was, from starting the upper left, Jean Marc Laforest, Frederic Cossard, Jean Claude Lapalu, Philippe Pacalet, Karim Vionnet, Yann Rohel, Leroy, Louis Tete, and Chateau de Lengarran.
I liked all, especially, Laforest at this time. There was no bad wine at all. We've enjoyed Beaujolais Nouveau.

hot and sour soup

I cooked a chinese hot and sour soup. I'm not sure I made it rightly though. the taste wasn't bad at all.

to warm yourself in a cold day.

A soup is one of the nicest meals in a cold day.

broken girl

Julie Doiron. It's released in 2003. She is a Canadian singer.

macanude maduro ascot

nice smelling. I don't know it's concern though, It will smells nicer in a wet day.

risoni

I ate a soup with risoni, chopped salted pork and lentil beans.

ipod shuffle

I've got a new iPod shuffle.

Salsoul

This is the songs of Salsoul lebel's selected by Dimitri from paris. It's said that Salsoul lebel is one of the important lebels as people talk about disco classics. It's the first time to know this lebel. but the selection is quite nice.

hoyo de monterrey

I've tried hoyo de monterrey petit robusto. It was nice, but I should've got a longer one.




and I've sipped a wine I'd opened 2 days ago. Chaume Arnaud, le petit coquet. I think it is less juicy than another wine of this winary I've sippted. It's likely more alcohol beverage. Both are nice.

lasagna again

I've cooked lasagna again. I ate it with wine at dinner. the wine was Chaume Arnaud. it tastes very juicy. they went together.

today's lunch

I've cooked a curry with a Japanese popular fish in Autumn, SANMA(Cololabis saira) and cauliflower. I ate it with a rice shaped pasta named "Risoni".

Pascal Simonutti

We've tasted the wine of Pascal Simonutti's tonight.

Menu Pineau. Somehow, it reminded me one of Domaine Julien Courtois's wines. Was that Menu Pineau too? I love that kind of wine.



both were gamay, but the taste was different, I've thought. I've got a feeling like a oriental incense. some of us don't like it much. I think it's not bad. the taste was natural.

Pineau d'Aunis. It's eaiser to drink last two gamay, people said. I smelt like fruit.




Gascon. The impression was the same as Pineau d'Aunis. and it's little thicker than Pineau d'Aunis. I liked it too.



After the tasting, Our favorite okowa was served. It's a type of steamed rice dish which is the mixture white rice and mochi-gome(glutinous rice) with some vegetables, mushroom, chicken and etc. You can arrange the ingredients of course.

One of us brought a hawaii wine as a souvenir. It tasted like Anzu(Prunus armeniaca). it's like a juice. It said that this wine was made with a 50% brazilian grape named "jaboticaba". It would seem that it's not a grape exactly.

a neighbor

Recently, I've seen this neighbor. I think it's one of the cat's childrend I've taken a shot before.

I've bought macanudo today. Firstly, the impression was sweet and spicy, but after a while, it's getting more spicy.

you are my little bird

Finally, Elizabeth Mitchell've released a new album. She is a menber of IDA. She's released a couple of album for children. I love the way she sings.

today's lunch

I ate pho with udon instead of rice noodle. udon is one of Japanese noodle. it's made with wheat flour.

punch

I've bought a cigar named "punch". I've got three cigar of punch's. cigarillo, "coronation", and "punch punch". cigarillo is for smoking in my office. shorter is better in the office. and 2 cigars is for enjoying at home. Why do I buy the cigars made in the same company? well, the shop owner suggest me to try smoke the same cigars of different quality. it would be fun to smelling and compare each. Perhaps, the nuance can be same.

pasta and lasagna

The pasta with ragu, which I've made it last weekend. and lasagna made with the leftovers of ragu. got little burned..., but it was okay.

mayuhake omoto 2006

The flower opened up this year. we call this flower "mayuhake omoto". last blooming is here.

a rice noodle with tom yum goong

I ate a rice noodle at lunch time. it doesn't looks nice, but the taste wan't bad at all.

the meals for my cosy holidays.

I've cooked many today. ragu, curry, and tom yum goong. Because I wanna be lazy till Monday. I have three days off! Might be I will cook lazania with the leftover of the ragu later. It's gonna be cosy days.

THis is my favorite ragu. I seldom cook it and eat pasta with it or make lazania with it. both are delicous.




This is a sourth Indain curry that I've learn by a magazine. it can go with rice or bread. couscous is also okay.



This is a tom yum goong that I've cooked by using chicken bone, the head part of porgy(we call this, kinda leftovers, "ara" in Japanese.), and the leftovers of curry and ragu. added limes, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, cilantro leaf(I used the rootage of it for curry), ginger, green chile(it's also for curry), and red chile. It's the first time cook this soup, but I think it's not bad at all.

gratin

It's leftovers I've cooked last weekend. 2 kinds of gratin. chicken gratin and smoked salmon gratin. the chicken gratin was little bland. I will make it better next time.

not so good..

I've tried another ones. but it's not so good than I expected.

it smells like chocolate before light up. but it's getting boring soon. little soft.




I prefer zino mini. soft taste as well.
