皮を干す

雑誌天然生活 の影響で、このところほぼ毎日食べるりんご、みかん、大根の皮をせっせと天日に干しています。果物の皮は入浴剤に、大根の皮は切干大根になります。切干大根は市販のものに比べると少し硬いですが、歯ごたえがあって美味しいです。入浴剤はみかんがお薦め。いい香りが広がって、よく温まるような気がします。

Reading Natural Life , I'm getting in drying peels of apple, orange and Japanese raddish that we eat almost everyday. I use dried peels of fruits as bath additive. Orange peel is my favorite. It smells wonderful and seems to make body warmer. Dried raddish peel is a little harder than commercially available one, but tasted okay.

青森行ってきました

１泊２日で青森に行ってきました。青森空港へ着いたらいきなり真っ白な雪景色で、一日雪が降っていてそれだけで満足。初日はストーブ列車で五所川原から金木町にある斜陽館へ。想像以上の大豪邸で、そりゃグレたくもなるよな、と納得。

We took an overnight trip to Aomori prefecture. As soon as we arrived at Aomori airport, we were in a white world of snow and I was just happy with snowing all day long. First day we took a stove train from Goshogawara to Kanaki-cho to visit Shayokan where Osamu Dazai was born. No wonder he became a son of Belial, born and raised in such a big, wealthy house.

	ストーブ列車の中ではストーブ弁当を賞味。地元の食材をふんだんに使った、目にも鮮やかなヘルシー弁当で美味でした。 In the train, we ate stove bento full of healthy local foods. It's fun to look at and tasted very good.
	２日目はかんじきトレッキングに参加。寒かったけど親切なガイドさんの白神の自然への愛に満ちた説明と、美しい雪景色、うさぎやカモシカの足跡、そりすべりで大いに楽しみました。 On the second day, we joined a snowshoe trecking. It was betterly cold, but we enjoyed kind guide's story full of love for nature in Shirakami, beautiful snowy landscape, footprint of rabbits and antelope, and sledding.
	トレッキングの後は温泉で休んで、深浦から五所川原まで列車の車窓から日本海を堪能。 After trecking, we rest at a hot spa for a while and took a resort train from Fukaura to Goshogawara. We enjoyed beautiful Japan Sea.
	途中下車した千畳敷のバス停。寒々しい！背景の白いのはつららです。 A bus stop at Senjojiki where we stopped. Looks very cold! What is white in the wall is icicle.
