Miho's favorites

Friday, November 6 was my husband's birthday, so I made a cake and Tempura! We were having cozy happy birthday party at home, just relaxing , eating, chatting, drinking, listening to our favorite music, dancing and watching a new movie. Last year was chocolate cake, so this year I made whipped cream spicy taste with strawberry decoration cake. I'm really not good at making decorations, but fortunately the taste was successful, heavenly yummy!!! Ray said he loves this one as much as the chocolate cake, and it became one of his favorite cakes now.  We both love chocolate taste sweets , especially Ray was eating many chocolate bars every day until he got health problem.   Ray had kidney problems last June this year, and since then he has been avoiding the foods which have high Oxalate content, such as chocolate, cocoa, dry powder, peanut butter, Bran flakes, crackers, soybeans, tofu, spinach, and black pepper.  Because a doctor told him that eating th...

Today I would like to talk about my new discovery, the herb " Cat's Claw" and it's benefits. This herb doesn't seem quite as well-known as some of the other herbs , so my husband and I only knew this herb recently. We have been trying many kinds of herbs and healthy foods since about 10 years ago, and I feel this herb Cat's claw is one of the most powerful herbs to heal many kind of illness. Cat's Claw was discovered in the Amazon, Rainforest of Peru and Brazil. When I read about it, the plant sounds powerful because I sometimes think about how people who live in the Amazon rainforest can live and survive where there are many kinds of virus, easy to get disease. I imagined people who live in the amazon must have strong immune system. I've read about that there are many undiscovered medicinal plants in amazon rainforest. For my health, I especially care about my brain health and intestine health. Because if the brain and intestin...

This season (2015 - 2016 ) 's figure skating competition is already starting !  and I've watched Japan Open, Nebelhorn Trophy, Finlandia Trophy , Autumn classic and Skate America so far. Honestly, this season, I was not so excited for figure skating competition like before, because two of my favorite skaters who are Tatsuki Machida ( from Japan ) and Samantha Cesario ( from USA )had retired last season. Although it was great to hear and see Mao Asada was back to competition and did a wonderful performance in Japan open competition. For Skate America , there is Jason Brown who is my top favorite eligible skater there so I was very looking forward to seeing his new programs. Also, as usual, looking forward to seeing the commentary of Johnny Weir, Tara Lipinski and Terry Gannon !                                                   ...

                           photo credit: Fuji japan via photopin (license) Appreciating photos / art images are one of my favorite things because many photos or art images make me feel so great !  Some images make me feel emotional just seeing it.  Like the images which are historical Japanese old towns , houses, buildings and scenery. Emotional but something very warm feeling, so I love the feeling.  Recently, I came across a blog which has a mysterious image.    I landed on that blog from another gallery site which shows many images of beautiful Mt.Fuji. It's believed that the image of Mt. Fuji has healing power and raises the frequency level of vibrational energy.  It's said when an Image of Mt.Fuji was put in a hospital's patients rooms, patients who were staying there were getti...

I came across this youtube video yesterday and was very surprised to see it !!!  Lady Gaga - The Sound of Music clips, Full Tribute with Julie Andrews [2015 Oscars]      It was showing up on January 2015 but I don't have habit to watch Oscar show, so I didn't know about it.  It's Lady Gaga , singing music of classic movie " the Sound of Music " !!!  It's amazing !!! When she sings her original songs, I was feeling Lady Gaga has unique voice but never knew she can sing classic songs so wonderfully. She is a fantastic singer! I really love it , so watched it several times !  It's so nice to see different part of Lady Gaga , singing the wonderful classic songs. I love the movie so much, so I'm so happy to see it.  Also very surprised to see Julie Andrews in it ! She looks very young and beautifully aging and looks healthy.  I really enjoyed her character and her humor and her singing in the movie. ...

  I have a habit to write a gratitude journal before going to sleep every night. It's fun ! I like to do it because it always makes me feel great before I fell a sleep. I sometimes stayed up too late and when I started writing the gratitude journal, sometimes I was half asleep and half awake because I felt so sleepy, but wanted to write my feeling, so I wrote. and in the next day, when I re-read the gratitude journal I wrote the night before, I noticed there were parts I don't remember, which I never imagined when I was in a conscious situation. and last night , it happened again ! I was like who wrote this ??? It's not me !!   I felt it's probably my subconscious mind wrote it. Seems like before falling sleep, our subconscious mind is opening the door.  I was writing something like "Cinnamon's scent is great ! " and also " I'm so happy and grateful to receive an invitation from ( a famous person ) ....

We happened to see double rainbows recently ! It was my first time to see a double rainbow so I was very excited to see it.   It was very beautiful ! We were in a car, driving to a grocery store, Trader Joe. It was clear and beautiful sunny day, and was wondering rainbow usually appears after stopped rain, so why it happened ? Then while we kept driving, suddenly rain was coming in that area, and soon it's gone after we got past that area. I love the smell of the air after the rain, it always makes me feel great. Somehow, I remembered that if you see a rainbow, it's good to make a wish. So I quickly made my wish. and took a photos of it. After we go back home, I searched the meaning of double rainbows. Here is the information below, ~ Message from rainbow to you ~ " If you see a rainbow, it's a message from the rainbow that you have been doing great work.  Now you will get to a next stage. Good things will happen to yo...
