理輝が運転の練習をしていまーす。本人も母も(多分母の方がもっと)緊張〜〜!!!
2人とも汗かいてます。。。明日はいよいよ実技の試験。どうなるかなー?
Riki has been practicing driving. He himself and mommy are both tense (probably mommy is even more) !! We get nervous sweats.... Tomorrow is the driving test. Would he pass?

ニンニクの皮むき Peeling a Head of Garlic
A friend of mine sent me the link to this video. It's so cool and amazing how easily the head of garlic was peeled. I haven't tried it myself yet since I didn't have any garlic. Maybe you can try it first and tell me how it went.

くだもの Fruits
見てください、この果物達。。ぜーんぶお友達たちからの頂き物です。梨、林檎、桃、イチジク、ネクタリン、葡萄。小さかったり、不揃いだったりですけど、無農薬で最高!そして、とっても美味しい!!みんなありがとう!絵心でもあったら、綺麗な絵でも描いちゃったりするんでしょうけどねー。。。
Look at all those fruits. Those are all gifts from my friends. Pears, apples, peaches, figs, nectarines and grapes. They tend to be small and uneven, but no pesticide which is super great!! And they taste great! Thank you everyone! If I was an artist, I could have painted a beautiful picture, maybe....

残り物 Leftovers
とにかく、アメリカは一人前の量が多い!!私達のように小さいアジア人には、1人前を食べきるのは無理!!家族4人でピザを2枚注文して、こんなに余っちゃった。。。冷凍庫に残り物が増えていく。。
It's just that the serving for one person in America is so big and no way we, small Asian people like us can finish everything. We ordered two pizzas for four of us and we got this much leftovers. Leftovers are filling up the freezer.

素敵な庭 Beautiful garden.
私達の新しい家、庭がすっごく綺麗なんです。大家さんがケビンの為にバスケットボールのゴールまで付けてくれました。
Our new house has a beautiful backyard. Landlord even put a basket ball hoop for Kevin.
お日様たっぷりでとってもよい天気だったので、布団を干しました。
It was a beautiful day with a plenty of sunshine, so I put out my blankets to dry.
庭から切ってきた薔薇の花です。
The rose I cut out from my garden.

9回目の引っ越し The 9th moving
私達結婚23年。今回が9回目の引っ越しです。シンガポールからの荷物が月曜に配達されました。こちらが少なくとも3年間は住むつもりの家です。
We've been married for 23 years and this is our ninth moving. Our things from Singapore were delivered on Monday. And this is the house we'll live at least for the next three years.

テメキュラに着いたよ Arrived in Temecula
テメキュラに戻ってきました。ここから2年も離れてたのに、その2年があまりにも早く過ぎたので、たった今長いお昼寝から目が覚めたみたいな感じ。。。
We are now back in Temecula. We were gone for two years, but the two years went so fast that I feel like I just woke up from a long nap.
Now, we are staying at a hotel. I get so tired of eating out all the time, so I brought my own rice cooker.
この本を参考に、早速玄米を炊いたー。
I cooked brown rice introduced in this book.
日本から買って来たふりかけやお茶が「イイネ。」
"Like" for those seasonings and green tea I brought back from Japan.
玄米おにぎりもつくった。美味しい。
Made brown rice ball too. Yummy.
