Butterfish ― 2012/03/02
JPY900
One of my comfort foods (but very low in calorie). My mother used to cook it for relatively special occasions, such as when my elder sister returned home, or when my family went long drive (with onigiri).
Whenever I find butterfish, or managatsuo, I can’t help buying it, and always cooking miso-marinated, baked butterfish, which goes perfectly well with plain boiled rice or rice porridge when you feel sick, because being a white-meat fish and thanks to the smell-killing function of miso, it doesn’t have fishy smell at all.
To be honest, butterfish cooked in this way is so delicious that I don’t think I need to learn any other recipes of this fish in my life unless I was reborn in another world with another cuisine style.
My First Geriatric Shoes ― 2012/03/03
JPY4,095
I took a new step into the geriatric world, where comfort comes before looks.
So far, I have gone through various aging stages; first of all, grey hairs in my eyebrows, then aged eyes that made my night walk dangerous as I can no longer see well my fellow walkers or unlit bicycles in dim light, bigger-looking teeth due to the receded gums, loss of proper nouns (“uh, that girl who plays football in the national team and looked like ancient people of a hundred million years ago” )….
Then, today, I bought this pair that I have often seen adorning elderly ladies’ (often with walking aid) feet. I thought I was too young to put on such a thing. But I was wrong. Trying them and finding how comfortable they were, I couldn’t resist, or rather I couldn’t think of reasons, or excuses, not to indulge in the comfort. Anyway, JPY4,095 is not cheap, but not an outrageously expensive entrance fee to a new world.
What’s
the next to come? Hearing aids? Walking
stick?
My First Geriatric Shoes: Review ― 2012/03/07
After walking and cycling several hours putting on my first geriatric shoes, I have learnt that “geriatric” didn’t necessarily mean “functional”, or “comfortable”, at least for me or for my purpose (walking everywhere or cycling everywhere on my Mamachari).
They weigh light, which sounds nice, but which doesn’t mean I can walk longer or cycle comfortably. Actually, I found shoes for my purpose needs certain weight in order to help my feet step forward like pendulum.
The worst thing was my socks always slipped off after walking in them for just a few minutes.
So I have to pull up my socks every few minutes (I remember I did the same when I was little and the quality of socks were not as high as they are now) while walking or cycling (can be dangerous!). Did I choose a wrong size or wrong model?
Other than this, many questions have popped up in my mind. Are the users of these shoes really feeling comfy with them? Or did I use them in a wrong way? Should I walk slowly or clumsily when I put on these? Or Should I have gone for a pair of trainers in the first place?
I might have to look deeper into the world of the geriatric shoe for my (not immediate, but not remote) future...
