After big moving

It's been almost 3 weeks after our big moving.
Adam and I had worked alot for this moving, but I couldn't do as much as Adam did.
I had to do accounting that had to hand by the end of May.

So Adam worked hard for pacing, organising many stuff in Sakura.
I'm really appreciate for him to help me to do that.
Without Adam, I dont think I can concentrate on my accounting at that time.
Thank you! ありがとうございます Adam！

Now, we live in the new place, where has my office and our home.
It's still a mess and I do think I need to clearn and organise more, escecially my office.
I try to organise when I have a time.

Recentrty it is becomming warm and humid in Tokyo.
I can get used to Japanese summer but not Adam at least so far.

I want to help him that he can spend time more comfortable in here Tokyo.
He seems to be a bit frastrated the humidity and busy life.

I try my best to give him comfort at home.

Home Baking with Natural Yeasts

All the doughs are kneaded by hand on a pastry board.

For about for months now, I have been baking bread at home in our tiny toaster oven.
I have been used to baking in large commercial ovens. Baking in a small toaster oven requires different techniques to produce a lite and well baked bread. Here's a general outline of what ingredients and techniques I use repeatedly.

Goji Berry Yeast Spring water.

Organic Fig Yeast Spring Water.

Our toaster oven, I use two trays, one deep one on top to protect the dough from the top element.

Sesame Bread, using wild yeast and fig yeast water.

Plain breads, using wild yeast and Goji yeast water.

Reunited with old books.

Last month I received a box, from my Father in New York, containing some books which I had enjoyed collecting as a past time. It feels as though the time when I was collecting them was so long ago. Recalling what I was doing during that time is nice, especially since that time marked a change in my life. At that time, I became more interested in reading in my spare time, and I had very much enjoyed a weekend at used book shops in the city and Long Island. Used books were cheap, $2 or $3 dollars for a nice paperback sometimes with nice retro cover art.


I'm currently reading Kurt Vonnegut's 'Blackbeard'. My first Vonnegut. Brian, my old friend from New York would be shocked to hear that after all these years I have never read a Kurt Vonnegut book. I'm enjoying it.
