Today's Treat ― 2016/06/21
This treat doesn’t come cheap. But everything, from the flavour of the coffee to the service to tableware, I was offered at this long-established café with a view was perfect. Very clean, very polite and helpful, enough distance from the next table so you do not feel the body temperature of someone sitting next to you. And the cake…so nice that I went blank for a while.
Looking down the park where I usually wolf down butaman and bottled tea, I felt as if having conquered Fukuoka.

Early Summer Fish Week ― 2016/06/27
My husband started going to the local fishermen’s Market again. He seems to have rediscovered the charm of it.
This time he bought (clockwise from top left ):
A pack of young squids,
A gunt,
A seabream and
Two arakabus(I don’t know its English name) for abour 1,800yen—a good value for money as they fed two of us for five++days.
I roasted the gunt served with onion sauce (sorry no picture).
Fileted the arakabu with bone left on one side.
The boneless side was lightly floured and deep fried.
The other side was simmered in soy sauce/water/suger/sake mixture.
(Note: in this period of the year, I think it is safer to boil the fish very briefly and then quickly chill it in water and some ices)
The seabream was fried and served with sweet and sour sauce with julienned vegetables.
And its head and bone turned into a nice misoshiru.
And the half pack of the squids was cooked with potatoes garnished with shredded ginger
(The rest of the squids are sleeping in the freezer for yakisoba or okonomiyaki for lunches later ).
According to my husband, early summer is a really nice season for shopping, and probably catching, fish. There are plenty of supply at quite reasonable price—which i think is one of privilege of living in Fukuoka (in exchange for punishingly expensive public water, transportation and health insurance system!).
Style Like a Cat? ― 2016/06/30
Hair wax in a pretty package. But this thing doesn’t make my hair soft and silky like cats’, which I have been longing to have for ages! Or rather, it makes may hair fuller, in other words, it makes my natural wire-like hair (or natural beehive) even more untamable and unnecessarily and uncontrollably volumises (see the word "Funwari" on the package-- I have decided never to go to the hairdresser's which recommended me to use this).
