A Bread Maker

I didn’t figure me for a cooking person

Basically that’s correct

I think cooking is not really my thing

But a new bread maker inspired me to bake ” delicious bread “

It’s just a bread , but it’s still important stable food

I try to adjust the ingredients to make it better

and someday

I’ d like to create my own complete recipe for bread

パンが好きで　パンが焼きあがるときの香りも大好きです

成分の違いによって　また粉の違いでも仕上がりは別物になるから　シンプルな食パンだからこそおいしく仕上がったらいいなと思って

いつか自分が一番好きな味のパンが焼けるようにレシピを変えながら　それも楽しみながら研究しています

Necessity or Unnecessity

Not only does I keep the social distance ,

don’t touch something UNNECESSARILY is what I need to go out.

I tried to push the button by my elbow on the elevator, but I made an UNNECESSARY extra stop…

I felt I needed to use some “tools”

So I am bringing along a screwdriver

You can PUSH

You can PULL


lol

BTW

I saw a funny squirrel on an electric cable the other day


LIFE IS A TIGHTROPE WALK (人生は綱渡り）

外に出るときは綱渡りのような緊張感を強いられます

でもリスは私の頭の上にあった電線の上を軽快に走っていました　　綱を細いとか怖いとか感電するとか全く知らず何も感じないリス　　　知らない方が怖さもなく　情報が増えるほど混乱して動揺するから

慎重に綱渡りをしながら　無駄に怖がり過ぎないのも必要かなと思います

Walking

Today is 3 weeks in quarantine without walking in the “CITY”

The Stay at home order provides for certain exceptions

One of them is [EXERCISE]

Fortunately, a park and a calm walkway are adjacent to my house

So I go for a walk every day

There were some pretty flowers blooming

and

The DANDELIONS are coming out

See?

So cute

Walking is an antidote for stressful time

An adequate sunray is essential for all living matter

できることが限られている今　以前気づかなかったこと　忘れていたことに気づいたり気づかされたりしています

たんぽぽは日暮れ近く気温が下がるとそっと花を閉じて　また次の日の気温が上がると花を開いています

たんぽぽが綿毛になるころ　街歩きを再開できていたらいいな♪

Caution

We are continuously taking precautionary measures against the Pandemic.

The news program broadcasts about COVID-19 during the entire day

The situation will be uncertain , so our nerves are tense because of the fear and stress

However,

if you are “sick and tired” of the inside of a house ,

it’s much better than you get “sick”.

In each precaution can avoid the virus infection

Please be careful

Keep calm, Stay home

Under the shelter in place, nevertheless we can purchase online

We got two of new sheet sets which are used by some former presidents( ..Clinton and Bush..)

from $160-$305

it depends on the size


This flower pattern”Botanical” is a new design and I really like it

All materials are made from 100% organic cotton

BOLL&BRANCH says

“Change your sheets, Change the world“

I would say

extremely comfortable feeling

Umm

Many shelves have been cleaning out

Even snacks…

不必要な外出は極力しないようにしています　

必要なものを買いに行ったものの大手のストアでもこのあり様　と今日のホールフーズにてでした

“In a New York Minite “is…..

….. an idiom and the meaning is “immediately, quickly” like that　　

I used another phrase in my previous blog ” in the blink of an eye” was also same meaning

So you can use ” in a new york minute” instead of those words or phrases

I want to YOU[ New York lovers] to use this one on a daily bases 　

. . . . .

BTW　

This is “The New York Times” ↓　　at Times Square 　

TIMES SQUARE ‘s name comes from The New York Times

Incidentally,

this is the “TIME” magazine ↓

The newest cover shows Martin Luther King Jr. known as “I have a dream “

The New York Times （新聞）and TIME （週刊誌）are completely different company though

マーティンルーサーキング牧師は有名な言葉を多く残していますが　私が好きなのは”Take the first step in faith” から始まる”疑わずにまず最初のステップを上りなさい”という名言です　　

Do you have dreams?

Zabars and Movies

ZABARS is a well-known for old store in NYC that was also used in location for many movies such as “You’ve got mail” and “Sex and the City”

Recently I watched “Marriage Story” which was nominated for the Academy Award

A scene in the movie , I noticed a coffee mug with “ZABARS” name on it!

　↓

It caught my attention in the blink of an eye

Cause I have got same one

Yeah

~I’m in the mood for watching some movies today~

映画を観るときは背景やインテリアや小物やファッションなどを見ています

映画の１スクリーンの中ではどんな短いショットでも小物までが計算されて配置されている　とどこかで聞いてから　大道具さんや小道具さん裏方さんたちのこだわりをこうして見つけるのも楽しいのです
