It's already spring !!!
OMG, It's been forever since my last post.
I don't know why but recently I didn't get the feeling to write something in my blog. and realized that the more I don't write something , the more I don't get an idea and don't get the feeling of writing.
But it's already the end of March and it's already past almost three months since new year ( 2018 ), so I thought I should write something to bring back my passion for writing.
Kabocha Pumpkin power
My husband and I have been doing fine and this winter season, we both did not get flu or cold.
And I noticed the reason we did not catch a flu or cold this season is since we started eating Kabocha Pumpkin ( Squash? ) daily, we are really healthy .
Also our nails got stronger and hard. I suppose it's good for our bones as well.
I'm really impressed with the power of Kabocha, so we will keep eating it everyday for our health.
Great thing is it's very delicious, and when I added some pieces of Kabocha in a soup , stew or macaroni gratin, it gets even more yummy and tasty.
New discovery
I found twin eggs while I was cooking blueberry muffin !!!
This is my first time to see it in my life, so I felt like Wow !
I had never seen this kind of twin eggs before, ever.
Maybe it's a good luck sign ?
I hope so!
Gift from Japan
My uncle Eimei and Aunt Takako sent us a gift and a letter from Japan and I'm so grateful for their kindness.
Rice crackers, seaweed , soybeans power, Omochi ( rice cake ),
Dorayaki (Red beans sweet, it's kind of like a pancake with the red beans sweet paste ), high quality miso soup powders.
I love all of them! Ray loves sweet red beans so he enjoyed eating Dorayaki.
Aunt Takako is the one who always writes to me, and she does not even have blood connection with me. But she has been very nice to me since I was a little girl, since they got married.
They are my closest relatives.
Also I feel they are the greatest marriage couple of my relatives who are always in love with no any trouble.
They have been married more than 45 years.
When I was a child, I did not have good impression for marriage from seeing many married couples around me including my parents.
and often wondered why many people want to get married ?
Unlike early Showa generation ( in Japan ), since women can live no problem by themselves without depending on men's salary, I thought it's better to be single if I could not find a man who I love , and who is match with my personality, have similar interest and taste, and have similar view of life.
I felt like many married couples did not look in love with each other after past 5 years, but Uncle Eimei and Aunt Takako always look happy peaceful marriage without any trouble.
So they made me hope for happy marriage, it's possible depending on the couple.
In fact, I was writing " I do not want to marry " for the dream marriage age in the survey in my middle school's Graduation writings .
Long time happy marriage couples were hard to find around my environment, so it was great to have a couple like them in my relatives.
Costa Rica Coffee + Coconut oil
I noticed that since I started drinking Costa Rica coffee, adding a small spoon of coconut oil in it , my skin color gets clear and white and healthy.
Also my hair gets shining whenever I drink it, maybe for hair, the coconut oil is helping ?
Ray bought the Costa Rica coffee since about a year ago, and we both also noticed that whenever we drink it, our seasonal allergy ( like hay fever ) had gone.
I always got allergy or stomachaches whenever I drank coffee but for the Costa Rica coffee, it makes my body healthy.
So we both drink it every day especially in allergy seasons.
Himalayan Pink Salt Crystals
I happened to find the Himalayan Pink Salt Crystals in the international supermarket ( Trader Joe ) recently.
I remember I've read about that is good for health, so I thought let's try when I found it.
The taste is not so salty like normal sea salt, and more mild taste.
I never knew depending on the salt , it can be really different.
and it's mystery to me why pink crystal can be salt , and how it was found ?
It's said it has a lot of health benefits, so we will test it for a while.
So far, we are healthy.
So for now, my favorite healthy foods are Kabocha Squash ( Japanese Pumpkin ), Costa Rica coffee, coconut oil, Himalayan Pink salt crystal.
It's a beautiful day !
