Yumiko.California(GS name) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 The Bulbine frutescens in Yumiko's photo is so blight orange and yellow colored flowers against a green bachground.🧡💛💚😄👌 I also posted the photo of the Orange Bulbine to GS on June 1st, 2022 year. 📱🤗🤭 In Japan, it is called "Flower aloe(花アロエ)". It's because the plant's leaves resemble those of an aloe plant, and its flowers are typically yellow or orange in color.🏝️🍹🍋🍊 Oniisan would like to live like Yumiko, swimming in a tropical California island every day ! 🌴🌊🏊♀️🏊♂️🥰🌞✌️ See Yumiko again in a dream. Have a nice weekend.🏊♂️🏊♀️ So long.🌃🌌✨🎠✨
@ラスカル Thank you for a message. It sounds good! You have been nice days. 👌 keep going. Nice meal, good exercise and well sleep. Life is Good. with smile 😊
@ユミ Thank you for a message. I was walking as usual and saw this lady beside the road. I was with her for a while. We will have a good time together on GS. Have a nice day! with smile 😊
@くさちゃん I know…it’s in May. It will be in June. Take care of yourself. In Japan rainy season is coming, I remember. Good day together! “Drink a lots of water”. I do~😊
@ユミ Thank you for a message. It’s the season ~We have also strong wind frequently. It’s hard for me to walk and take flowers pics. Still I will walk ~ teku teku~ everyday. Have a nice day! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ The flower you posted on Saturday is very rare and beautiful. It's a Bulbula frutescens 🧡 I think it's the first time I've seen this flower 🤭 Thank you for showing it to me. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. This flower came from my friend’s garden. She called me ‘come and see this lady’. Lucky We will have a nice spring…it will be summer soon. Good day! with smile 😊
Your friend invited you to see these flowers. They are blooming beautifully and we are very happy. I'm glad you were able to have a good communication with them. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Yes. My place is what we call ‘senior town’. Only senior citizens are living. Everyone has her own garden and take care of their flowers. …approximately 1.400 houses around my house. I am lucky. We have good friendship each other. You walk~ it’s nice! Let’s go for a good day. 😊
It's reassuring to see people of the same age living here. My mother doesn't have many people of the same age living nearby, so she has limited people to talk to. Yes♡ I'm glad to hear that. Thank you. 🐰💗
@デュランサ I understand that. Not to be too close to the people, but to be friendly to the people. That’s senior’s life. We will have a good day together!😊
@デュランサ By the way, I saw your photo. I can read first photo and comments. However anther *#2~5…I can’t see photos. Is this ok for you? Just I wonder ~
My mother loves to talk, and once a day she goes to the only person she can talk to about anything. She has bad knees, so she goes to the orthopedic clinic four times a month to get injections of medicine to moisturize her knees.🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening ! 🌅🌃 Today May 23rd is "Bone Density Care Day" in Japan, because Japanese read 5/23 as "Ko(5) Tsu(2) Mi(3) Tsudo." 😁🤭 Raise awareness of bone density🦴, and prevents osteoporosis.🩻😄👌 How is Yumiko's osteoporosis situation now ? Oni-chan am worried about your status. 🤔 Let's actively consume calcium, protein, and vitamin D, and exercise moderately ! 🦑☀️🤗 Have a nice weekend ! 🏊♀️🏌️♀️🚶♀️💦🌞✌️
@デュランサ I understand that. My mother(92 years old) can’t walk well. She stays home all the time. Nursing ladies and helpers come to my mother’s house and take care of her all the time. We have some things ~ not only for us, but everybody, seniors. Let’s go! Today 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message my brother! I had a test of ‘Bone Density’, actually my result was not good(2024). Now my doctor says it’s getting better. I now started taking special medication. *one a week for 5 years My doctor says ‘it’s new medicine and the best one. No worries your losing your teeth, and bones’. You in Japan will have this soon. 🤞peace! Have a nice day ! 😊
Is Yumiko's mother's life easier with the help of caregivers and helpers? My mother hasn't applied to the authorities yet, but it's gradually becoming more difficult for her to walk and she can't go for many walks anymore.🐰🍀
@デュランサ I understand your situation. …so your mother needs you to take care of her, right?! It’s normal. My cace is different. Because I live in USA. I will be back to Japan 🇯🇵 anytime in the future. Not now. You take care of your mother. Nice day together! with smile 😊
So, since I can see my mother up close, my husband and I take her to the plastic surgery twice a month. Ophthalmology and internal medicine are also common. Yumiko's mother is in Japan, isn't she? I hope she stays healthy, even though she is far away 🙏🏻 🐰💗
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. I hope your mother keep being healthy. My mother…she was dying last May at this time. Doctor said, ‘she is becoming weaker ~’. And she(92years old ) has been still surviving. How strong she is! Respect 🫡. I hope she will go for as long as she can. We have our own lives. Let’s take care of ourselves, shall we?! 😊
Is that how it was for your mother? I hope she stays healthy forever. I wonder if the caregiver supports her on a regular basis and contacts her if there's anything she needs. I hope she stays healthy and lives a long life🐰💗
@デュランサ Right! My mother has home nursing two days a week and home helper two days a week. I hope she can go for ~. In case,I will have to send her to the hospital. And~…I will not know now. Our life is such a kind. Keep being healthy. 👍ganba!
It's reassuring to know that you are continuing to receive visiting care. I think the most important thing is for you to stay healthy and avoid getting sick. I hope you will continue to live a long and healthy life. 🐰💗
@デュランサ That’s right! Energy is important to us. I was sick for a week, today I came back normal. Life is such a kind~. Let’s go for a good day together! 😊
I hear you've been feeling unwell. Please take it little by little and get back to your daily life without pushing yourself too hard. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful day today 🙏🏻
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. lovely Yes. I came back. I feel healthy today. …psychological conditions. Let’s go today and tomorrow! with our energy. ✊
Mental state of mind: Have you been feeling uneasy about something? If you feel down, your physical condition will also be bad, so it's good to release your uneasiness by doing something fun. It's good to have something that relaxes you, even if you don't try hard.🐰🍀
@デュランサ Good! I am enjoying to be with GS. My hobby is Swimming and flowers. Life is a such a simple for me today. Since I opened the senior’s 🚪 door. I have been comfortable. How about you? Let’s have a good day! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ The other day, something good happened to me when I went out. I chose pasta🍝 as the main dish from the lunch menu for seniors, and shared a quarter cut of pizza🍕, so I could eat several kinds of pizza🍕. I also got soup and a free drink☕🥤. They didn't ask me about my age, and if the pizza🍕 was too big, I would be full after eating one🤭 and the pasta was only half the size😋. This restaurant was well thought out and the staff were kind and polite, so I was able to have a pleasant lunch🐰💗
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. 🍝 pasta. Coincidentally I made my spaghetti one hour ago. I used ‘organic brown Rice spaghetti’. Nice to have a day! 😋
@デュランサ ‘ankake spaghetti’ …it’s interesting! I will learn about it. 😋 I hope you will have a good day! positive life! Life is Good/L.G(I call). Good day together!
The thickened spaghetti🍝 is hot and slightly spicy. Once you start eating it, you might get addicted to the taste. Today, I came from Aichi🚘️ with my husband to see the drooping lilies in Shizuoka Prefecture. I'm currently having breakfast at Hamamatsu SA. It's fine today☀ and you can see Lake Hamana while eating. I hope you have a wonderful day today🙏🏻 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Yesterday, my husband and I went to the Shidatari Lily Garden in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka Prefecture in the car early in the morning to see the hydrangeas, including the lilies of the valley. The large lilies were spectacular and bloomed beautifully. It was my first time visiting and I was enchanted. Afterwards, we went to nearby Hotasan Soneiji Temple to eat some warding off evil spirits dumplings 🍡 and bought some souvenirs 🎁. After that, we soaked in the hot springs ♨️ to relieve our fatigue, had dinner and returned home 🐰💗 Yes ♡ It was a fulfilling day 🤗✨
@デュランサ How nice! You had a good trip with your husband 👍 …my memories in Shizuoka prefecture…”Gofuku-machi”/Shizuoka. I was a regular visitor at “Togakushi Soba” there(1987~). Kisu-Ten’…put lots of green onions. 😋 If you have an opportunity to visit to Shizuoka, ‘Abe-river. I had a nice time. And castle with Tokugawa Family ~ Such a nice places~ I wish I go and see them again. You can go/visit anywhere,anytime in your life in 🇯🇵. I envy you! …long talk~ say hello to your husband! Great day together! 😊
Sorry for the late reply🙏🏻Today, my daughter and her husband, my husband and I went out to look at furniture and other items for our new home and decided to buy some. After looking around, it seems like there are still a few more things we need. Shizuoka has a lot of things to see, doesn't it? Thank you for your hard work today. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨☂️ My daughter and her husband will be living together from now on, but they will be starting from nothing in their new home, so there will be many things they will need. Thank you. It has been raining since last night☂️ and it may be that we will enter the rainy season. I hope you have a wonderful day today🐰💗
@デュランサ Ok…that means…your daughter’s husband is coming back(before TENKIN)and live together. I am happy to hear that. They need to be together. Life … how many yet? We will be able to live with lovely person. I hope you will understand for them. You are Great Mother. Good day together! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ I may not be conveying this in the right way. My daughter and her husband bought a house🏠️ to live in a new home away from their parents' homes. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) Yes♡That's right🤗🩷🤍Before I start living in that place, I go to stores here and there on my days off to look for things I need. I want you to be happy🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes, when I went shopping with my daughter and her husband, I learned about their personalities and what kind of people they are, which I didn't know much about, and I'm glad I was able to communicate with them. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good! Communication makes you feel much better. I understand about your situation. Anyway ~ you will be them and have a good time together. Life ~ we will go for ~ Have a nice day. 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ That may be true. Yesterday, my daughter and her husband went shopping for a new home. After they dropped my daughter off at my house, we had coffee at my house and talked. We went out for dinner. We talked about various things, and I wondered if communication was necessary.🐰💗
@デュランサ I understand that. Looking for and buy furnitures…enjoyable! I used to be interested in having my study desk. Since I was growing up. My lovely desk from my father when I was a little girl. It was too big for me, but I used till 12 years old. After that my mother bought my study desk, I used till 22 years old. After that I bought one desk(3-way)in 1996. I still use my lovely desk(for 19 years). 🫶Happy! We put our hearts into the furniture, right?! Pick up the nice one which we can use as long as we can. lovely 😊 Good day together!
Nowadays, we have more built-in furniture and don't need as much, but we were able to find functional items for the kitchen table set, such as table tops and chairs, which are used every day. Yumiko's desk was designed with functionality in mind, so it can be used for a long time as she grows. It's wonderful. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Thank you for a message. Yes. In my life…probably 3 study desks(you know the history). I will be able to buy new one anytime, but I will still keep my lovely desk. ✨ We will have a nice day! 😊
@デュランサ Thank you say so! Life ~ take care of our memorial things. + if do need ~ lots, make them trash. We need to make trash 🗑️! I am on my project. Good day together! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Sometimes it's necessary to declutter. It may be unavoidable to keep the things you really need and get rid of things, clothes, and miscellaneous goods that you haven't used in the last few years. 🐰💗
Good morning ☺️✨ I have a lot of clothes that I want to get rid of, but I'm attached to them and can't let go of them. I've been buying from a certain store like a member for the past few years, but recently I've been trying not to buy from them. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning. That’s right. Do not buy anymore ~😀right?! Me, too~…and still I order my swimsuit by net(net shopping). Endless ! We are happy when we buy something new, and we are sad when we say good buy to them(which we had). right? I went to the garage this morning to look for 4 skirts. …😕can’t find them, finally I found them. It took for almost one hour. I am happy. I wear these skirts with Hawaiian Shirts(Jam’s World) for this summer. How are you? It’s getting hotter? Have a nice day! with smile 😊
Good evening 🌃 I'm sorry I couldn't watch GS at the usual time 🙏🏻 I went out with my daughter and her husband to shop for 🏠️ and helped them organize their 🏠️. I'm glad you found your favorite clothes ☺️✨ Yes ♡ You've had a fulfilling year. 🐰💗
Good morning.😊✨ Yesterday, I went with my daughter and her husband to look at a storage shed to be placed in the garden of our new house. I asked them to come and see the garden in a few days to give me an estimate. We managed to make most of the big purchases. It looks like the day when my daughter and her husband will be able to live with us will come soon. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! I am happy to hear about your daughter & husband settling with you. You know…we are getting older~. Family protect us. Congrats 🎉.
My daughter and her husband are currently living in their parents' homes, and as soon as they are settled in their new home, they will move there. I'll be lonely, but if anything happens, it's only a short drive from my house to the new home, so it'll be fine.🐰💗
@デュランサ Ok. I have known a little bit better about your situation. Your daughter and her husband will move out his family house and start their life by themselves. Their house is close to your house. It’s good! Not too close and ~ close each other. I like that. You will be happy with them! Good day together! 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ That's right My daughter and her husband will be able to move in once their new home is settled, but for now I think they'll be busy tidying up the house 🏠️. It's not too far away, but not too close. 🐰💗
Hello 😊 Sorry for the late reply 🙏🏻 Today was cloudy and the weather was good for mowing, so I mowed the grass from early in the morning. Even women can easily mow with a rechargeable grass cutter. The new house is finished, but if the options, furniture, furnishings, and electrical appliances fit in, my daughter and her husband will be able to live in the new house somehow. It will probably take a little longer. Thank you 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ I've been working in my vegetable garden since early morning. Because it gets hot during the day. I'll do it early and take a break, then come back later, so I'll show you later🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yesterday I bought a little more food than I had budgeted for a week, so I'll have to adjust it next week. Yes♡ Enjoying your time will help you stay healthy.🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes, I try to shop according to my budget, but if I buy too much, I have to adjust it next time, otherwise I'll waste money. Saving is also necessary. 🐰💗
@デュランサ 🤞That’s right! I do so, too. I pick up at my favorite store: Vegetable, Fruit, yogurt… I have not eaten Bacon, ham and sausage for…3 years~. (Kakou niku) Yes. We can talk about groceries. with smile 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ I usually buy chicken, pork, sausages, ham, fish paste products such as kamaboko and hanpen, vegetables, sweets, and now ice cream, etc. Sometimes I buy frozen foods. It's convenient when I'm stuck for cooking. 🐰💗
Good morning. 😊✨ Yes♡ For now, I can do anything physically, so I can go wherever I want, eat whatever I want, and do whatever I want, and I can enjoy every day. 🐰💗
Good morning.☺️✨ Today I'm going out to do a week's worth of shopping. There are some things in the fridge that I haven't used yet, but I'll buy them so that they don't overlap. ☺️✨ Sorry I'm late 🙏🏻 I started early in the morning by watering the flowers and vegetables and doing the housework. My daughter usually cleans the toilet and bathroom, but I do it on weekends and holidays. I'll be back to my daily routine once we move into our new home soon. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes♡ Thank you. We still have to clean up the new house, so my husband and I will go to my daughter and her husband's new house today to help out. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yesterday, we finally managed to tidy up our new home so that it has a lived-in feel. Now, my daughter and her husband can start living in the new home next week. 🐰💗
Good morning. 😊✨I live in my own home, and before I know it, I'm out and about looking at stores, wondering if I need this or that. Yesterday, I had lunch with a couple of friends, eating okonomiyaki, and we had a great time talking about all sorts of things. 🐰💗
@デュランサ How nice! ‘okonomiyaki’…I like it,too. Backing to 1966, we went to okonomiyaki(in Tokyo). One bowl costs ¥30. Here, I miss this ! 😊 Nice day. with smile
Good morning (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤ So you've had "okonomiyaki" before. ☺️✨First, grill the 🥩, shrimp 🦐, squid 🦑, and corn 🌽, then mix the egg 🥚 and ingredients and spread it on the hot plate, then add the 🥩, etc., and when it's round and fluffy, it's delicious and steaming hot while it's hot 😋I also had a great conversation with my friend and his wife. 🐰💗
@デュランサ 😋good! You have a great one! In those days ~in 1966, there are some ‘monjya’ places at Asakusa in Tokyo. I was enjoying that. One bowl costed ¥30. I still eat this vintage one when I go back to Tokyo. There is one place in Roppongi where I have known for 39 years. I hope you enjoyed your okonomiyaki! Good day together. 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Sorry for the late hour🙇🏻Since early morning, I have been weeding the flower beds and watering the vegetables and flowers. We were free to cook the okonomiyaki, and while we waited for it to be cooked, my friend and his wife and I talked. Yes. We had a great time. I also love monjayaki😋At a restaurant called "Sennorikyu" that we went to before, the monjayaki👀 was cooked right in front of us and was delicious😋
@デュランサ Nice talking! Oosaka, they have a nice place,I know. Okonomiyaki…’Hitoshima’! lovely Monjya/Tokyo Shitamachi(Asakusa~ Negishi…). We can enjoy our nice food all of Japan. 😋 Good day together!
@デュランサ Good morning. So…after this, you will be alone. Still you will communicate with your daughter and her husband. It’s good. Life~ everyone has it. I hope you will have comfortable time by yourself and …go! 👍 Good day together! 😊
Hello ☺️✨ As of today, there are three of us. My mother, my husband, and me. My daughter and her husband live in a new home, and my son and his wife live in another prefecture. 🐰💗
Hello ☺️✨ That's right 🤭 It might be the name given to it in Japan 🦆 💦 Yes, it rained so much yesterday that it was like a bucket of water being turned upside down, and some neighborhoods were flooded. 🐰💦
Good morning. ☺️✨ When I go outside, I can hear the birds chirping. I wonder if the weather is not good today 😆 The mountains are covered with thick ☁ clouds. 🐰💗
@デュランサ How nice! Around my house, there are some birds which we call ‘nightingale’, they sing …100songs~ more entire night. 😌how can I say… so beautiful song~, but I can’t sleep well. 👌now I have ear plugs. Thanks for the nature. And we will have a good day. with smile 😊
@デュランサ Good morning! Yes~ every night till morning. ? Still she is 🎶 singing now. Amazing! What a strong 💪 power she has! I wander when she sleeps. Happy day. with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ I fell asleep early yesterday. I wonder if the early morning and evening weeding and watering the flower beds in the garden, fields, and fields put a strain on my body. 🤭 I'm sure I would have had a good sleep if I had heard the nightingale's song. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good! You keep being healthy. Me, too. I have been trying ~ Very soon ~ I will go to my garden and trim my roses. They are waiting for me. Nice day together! 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes♡A good night's sleep makes me feel refreshed and my strength returns. It was cloudy this morning, but I'll water the vegetables and flowers after breakfast today. It looks like it's going to get hot again in the afternoon. 🌹Pruning roses is important so they can bloom again🐰💗
@デュランサ Nice message, thank you. Yes. We take care our garden all the time. My rose garden has been taking a rest. Only 5~6 blooms, every day. I trim and talk to them, “see you soon” Good day together! with smile 😊
Good morning (*˘︶˘*).。*♡ The "Anne's Rose🧡" planted in the ground is blooming, but the color it bloomed in spring is a little paler and gentler. I wonder if the other roses🌹 that bloom all year round will be dormant for a while. New leaves are coming out. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! 🌞 Roses have their own routine. I know my roses. Trimming time is important. And after that another cute roses are coming up. I work for 30 minutes/day for my garden after swim and walk. It’s my morning ~. Do you exercise? Walking ~ going to the Gym~… It’s nice place to see people and keep being your health. Good day together. with smile 😊
Good morning ☺️✨ "Anne's Rose 🌹" This 🌹🧡 is currently planted in the ground and is blooming beautifully. I don't go to the gym or do any exercise. I tend to the flowers in my vegetable garden and yard, or go out somewhere with my husband and walk around. 🚶🏻🚶🏻Yesterday 🚙 I went to see the fireworks 🎇 nearby. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ When I go outside, I see herons and ducklings relaxing in the nearby rice fields. Watching such natural scenery is also soothing to the soul. There is a refreshing breeze in the early morning, which is a big difference from the heat of the day. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨ A refreshing morning has arrived. 🐸It's getting hotter and hotter with the sounds of frogs and brown cicadas. Let's have fun today too. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! ☀️ Yes, we can hear frogs 🐸 sounds, crickets 🦗, and nightingale…😆she sings whole night, and morning and daytime. I wonder when they sleep?! Nature is hide. However we need to sleep comfortably. 👍I have earplugs. Nice day together! 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ A refreshing morning has suddenly changed, and the bright sunshine ☀ is accompanied by the humming of cicadas. Today, my husband went to the hospital 🏥 for treatment, a checkup, and a blood test with his doctor. He's gradually regained his normal daily routine. He's able to use his left hand to do things while protecting it and supporting it. Let's have a lively day today and not give in to the heat 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! Right, we need our health checks all the time. Blood test and see a Doctor to get the results. ~~ I do 2 times a year. Healthy! It’s heating in Japan. Yesterday, my best friend(for 50 years) sent me a message, “The highest temperature in Japan(41°C)”. She lives in Kanagawa pre. Let’s take care of ourselves. Good day ! with smile 😊
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes, yesterday there was an earthquake with its epicenter on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Hokkaido, which resulted in tsunami warnings and advisories being issued along the Pacific coast. People were being urged to move to high mountains or higher ground. This was also the case in some areas here in Aichi. Where I live is on a plain, so nothing has happened. There is still a risk of tsunamis along the coast. I hope nothing happens 🙏🏻
@デュランサ Good morning. Yes. Nothing bad information about’Tsunami’. I am happy. How are you? We will still take care of ourselves in this summer. Good day! 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ I'm glad nothing happened after the earthquake. Today marks the start of August. It's a clear, cloudless day. It's a refreshing morning. 🐰💗
Good morning. ☺️✨Yesterday, I bought milk, ice cream, lettuce, chicken breast, minced meat, natto, enoki mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, etc. I'll decide on the menu after buying the ingredients. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning! ☀️ How nice…l like ‘natto’ with Kimchi(Kerean cabbage). Not always with soy sauce. I eat cherry tomatoes everyday. Our food is close! 😊
Good morning.☺️✨ Natto thins the blood, kimchi contains lactic acid bacteria that regulate the intestines, and capsaicin promotes fat burning. Eating them together is very good for your body. Tomatoes 🍅 and cherry tomatoes 🍅 are delicious when you exercise, aren't they? 😋
@デュランサ Good morning! ☀️ You love fruit and vegetables. It’s the same as me. I am very close to a vegetarian. However I would like to eat ham/bacon( once for a while). Talk to you later. 😊
Hello 😉✨ Sorry for the late reply. The weather is strange today. It was sunny ☀️ and then suddenly it started raining ☔️. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do like to eat natto with kimchi and warm rice 🍚. 🐰💗
@デュランサ 😀how nice! I just ate ‘Natto & Kimchi’ yesterday. I like it. We used to have Natto with ‘shoyu’. ~ I like to talk about food/cooking! Good day! 😊
@デュランサ Me,too! 😋 This morning, I made spaghetti 🍝 red sauce. Key point is…onion. Stir-fry the onion for 20~minutes. (yukkuri~). 👍I put tomato sauce with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Well done. I know you are good cook. with smile
Good morning ☺️✨ Spaghetti🍝 I wonder if you put red sauce on top of the pasta like meat sauce🤭 You add well-fried onions, tomato sauce, garlic, and Italian seasonings☺️The aroma of spices and herbs really adds to the flavor. 😋
@デュランサ Good mo! 😀I make spaghetti 🍝 and red sauce, with well done onions 🧅. It’s the same way! I know…the onion is very important. I make golden onion,you can know it. Onion tastes so sweet. Lovely talking! 😊
I love all kinds of pasta 🍝. I wonder if golden onion 🧅 is a variety. Sorry 🙏🏻 I don't know about it on the menu 💦 For tomato-based spaghetti, I love Italian and thick-sweet spaghetti. Thick-sweet spaghetti might be unique to Aichi. I think it's spaghetti with summer vegetables, a tomato-based sauce with potato starch poured over noodles. It also contains sausages and seafood, and is a little spicy 😋
Hello ☺️✨ Yesterday, I had lunch at an Italian restaurant I was out of town for a standard all-you-can-eat meal. The pasta included a garlicky ham and asparagus peperoncino, which I hadn't had in a while. Usually, I have pasta with a tomato cream sauce, cream pasta, carbonara, etc. 😋
@デュランサ Good morning! How nice. I remember…at 🍕 Pizza restaurant/ all we can eat ~ but, we can’t eat so much. They do good plan. I lost(make). I never go all we can eat ~after that. 😋
Good morning. ☺️✨ Yes, at lunch on the day of the fireworks display, we had an all-you-can-eat buffet. There were standard and premium options, and we could also choose individual dishes, but we weren't sure how much each dish would cost, so my husband and I ordered the standard all-you-can-eat option. Since I haven't been eating much lately, we ordered pasta, a serving each of 🍕, something like an hors d'oeuvre, grilled lamb skewers, and a drink, and that was enough. Because it was delicious, we ordered an extra serving of pizza and ice cream for dessert, which was about all we could eat. It was quite a lot. Thank you for the meal. 🐰💗
Good morning ☺️✨ It's a little dark at the usual time in the morning, and it feels cool outside. ☔️ I guess it'll be over by today 🤭 Tomorrow, I'm planning to go out and buy some flowers and ingredients for the Buddhist altar in preparation for Obon. 🐰💗
@デュランサ Good morning!☀️ That’s right, it’s “obon” in Japan. People who work , have a one week~ off for working. They must be happy. Let’s go for a nice day! 😊
Hello ☺️✨ It's late today, but I went out early this morning to visit the grave, cleaned up, and changed the flowers. The flowers on the grave are chrysanthemums, curcuma, sun-believer, zinnias, etc. And I paid my respects to my ancestors 🐰💗
