“サトリの森” ～ Forever

Satolela papa is not at home now. Many green peppers are growing in our yard. So I picked them and gave some to my friends. But still a lot in the fridge.

Just roast the pepper over the gas burner, then add salt.  That's it!! Roast them till they become softer. Those were not enough for my lunch.   Then I cook Soba, or buckwheat noodle.   Soba with Nori seaweed, or dried laver seaweed. You need a kind of sauce, which is called 'Soba tsuyu'   to dip Soba into. When I was picking the green peppers, a nice idea crossed my mind. Twinkle......twinkle I picked several Okra , too.  I sliced cucumber and Okra both from our yard and tossed into the sauce.  And added tomatoes , which were also from our yard. This picture doesn't look nice, but it was tasty!!! Eating at

So I told him about my idea, which made him totally speechless.   I said, 'Let's go to the new Haneda Airport (Big Bird) by bus!' As for Satolela papa, it seemed to be strange to go to the airport  to celebrate our anniversary. But to me, I thought that it was perfectly fulfilling all the conditions of what he suggested.  Because we had never been there together since we met !!! We could enjoy the scenery from a bus window. It took about 90 minutes from Tachikawa city where we live. Here we are!   WELCOME TO HANEDA AIRPORT!! The moment which  an air plane is taking off makes me so excited at any age. I don't know why, but Satolela papa didn'
