So... the last week of August!
Yup! I am glad I could go for Pikanchi and Blast goods! Pikanchi was really interesting! And the lining for blast goods was really short!!! Next month is the time for Hawaii concert! Since I`m not going to participate, I will focus for the tour balloting! LOL
Enjoy the translation! I just realized that I never did gekkan arashi with Sho-Nino pair before! In the previous series, every time they are paired, they always cook something! What a weird conbi! lol
Let`s make and arrange pickles.
The challenge to arrange dishes with various Japanese pickled vegetables!
The cutting-edge food for both of them is Harajuku`s pancake.
S : Decorating pickles on the Sushi cake is an innovation! (lol)
N : It tastes good! And it`s crunchy!
S : Don`t you think a Sushi cake is something that makes children get excited, do you? Everyone makes it together and sharing who do this and that part.
N : Sounds good. It`s like I will do a quarter part from this!
S : Being able to enjoy something start from the making is awesome!
N : I even surprised we could make many kind of pickles with these only. It would be perfect if there was alcohol~
S : You are right. It would be good with alcohol. Especially, this tomatoes pickled! It`s rich of flavor. Maybe It`s suitable for adult`s party. Everyone could pickle everything they like and during the process, they could drink alcohol.
N : Making pickles is not common in our daily life, but it would be good.
S : The chance is low for us.
N : Maybe we could start it with kimchi? There are many kinds of pickle like nukazuke* or asazuke*. It`s surprised me when I heard people pickles cheese.
S : Yeah. We can pickle anything. I was surprised that onions pickles tastes good. I mixed it a lot into the rice part of sushi cake.
N : Indeed. I can see onions in every layer (lol).
S : My grandma at village used to pickle many things. There was a bed of salted rice bran for pickling under the floor. I hate the smell of that bed when I was kid but doing this now made me realize that maybe the affection for it has grown.
N : Especially girls, they love it. Because girls are brimming with curiosity, I think many people sticks with the perception cooking is equal to making things.
S : Cooking is equal to something to eat for us, right! For girls, besides eating food they care about other thing too. For example, fermented food is good for beauty.
N : Yeah! The main purpose of eating that is for filling your stomach is different with us (lol). I think the latest vegetable information for me stop at knowing that Nalta Jute is good for health (lol). And also about brown rice! Sho-san, where is your latest food information stop?
S : Millet rice!? (lol)
N : Ah, I know about that too. I think I happened to see the kanji somewhere (lol). Then speaking about sweets, I know Macron!
S : Ow, It`s not that old (lol).
N : Yeah, it`s new. It has a nice color like a lucky charm.
S : Your information about sweets is updated. Maybe it`s a pancake for me.
N : You are up to date!
S : People is lining up for that at Harajuku, right? (lol)
N : Yeah, they are. Harajuku for us was a crepe`s era.
S : Agree!
N : People also lined up for crepes, right?
S : They did. But I understand for sure that our gourmet information is not up to date and we are not catching up for it. (lol)
N : Because we are health. Maybe being able to settle everything quickly is the proof that we are health (lol).
This month`s Cross Talk!
Theme : Independent experiment & Ideal Resort place
In summer, what independent experiment that you did when you were kids?
N : Telephone thread. I rolled toilet paper`s roll with origami. I made and submit it for three years in a row.
S : That was epic (lol).
N : It was! They had different colors every year. I developed the color variation and did the research like for a commercial.
S : I see.
N : It was like I promoted to everyone that there would be a new color for this year.
S : Everyone must be put their attention which color would be released for this year!
N : But speaking of the function, it was just a common telephone thread (lol). I was the type who finish homework at the start of summer holiday and make sure that there won`t be any homework left. It was important to finish the independent experiment in a short time. Because my summer holiday was busy with baseball.
S : Ah… I see.
N : Honestly, I wanted to play baseball so I worked hard with my homework.
S : I was the type who makes plan, schedule and do everything step by step. How about the book review?
N : I have a sister, so I had her helping with it (lol). There, while squeezing the sense of elementary school students and I worked out with the way to solve the problem efficiently. It`s like what today kids do with their smart phone or tablet to do their homework.
S : I see. My experiment took quite long time. I raised silkworms and I wrote a growing diary like recording their growth and the progress into a cocoon.
N : It was a long experiment!
S : I did it in a long term, but the time that I consumed every day was not that much. Taking picture and notes just for 15 minutes.
What is your ideal resort area?
N : Hakone!
S : Oh! Why?
N : The other day, I watched a TV show looking for a villa!
S : I watched that one, too.
N : They introduced a nice mountain villa at Hakone. I think, I prefer mountain than beach? Beach is not bad, but being surrounded by trees is nice. Especially Hakone, there are also beach and lake nearby.
S : Indeed, Hakone is a nice place.
N : Moreover, the villa itself was superb. It was a Japanese-style house with Japanese garden inside. I thought I could enjoy my day relaxing there. I think I reached the age to understand the beauty of Japanese culture, didn`t I?
S : Me too. But speaking of resort, it`s different. I want to go to Cave of Smeraldo, Italia!
*Nukazuke : pickles made in brine for days
*Asazuke : lightly pickled vegetables.
