お買い物

「お買い物好きだよね」って言われて、えー、そんなことないよ、と返したけれども、どうかな。これ!ってものに出会って買えた時は楽しいけれど、そうじゃない時、時間はもったいないわ疲れるわ汚れるわ。。。ってplus minusゼロどころか、はっきり言ってマイナスです。そして今は1回に使う金額が1,000ペソを越えることに抵抗が。
 でも今日は自分への誕生日プレゼントじゃ、と開き直りいろいろ買ったし食べました。それにたくさん歩いたし汚い空気をいっぱい吸ってとても疲れてしまったので、夜もレストランで。部屋で全く調理しない日なんて珍しい。ついこの前、調理用に日本酒がないので白ワイン(なのにガトー・ビアンコではなくてガトー・ネグロだった!)を開けたのだけど、それを飲むつもりが、食後に出してくれたレモングラスティーがしみじみ美味しい。。。とポットいっぱい飲んで腹がたぷたぷ。今日も白ワインはおあずけです。

白いもの、など

I love native organic eggs:) taken w/ iPhone 5c
1ヶ月ほど前に下書きに入れてそのままになっていた。今朝、遠くの友人のポストを見て、はっ、そういえば。と思い出した次第。チェキで写真撮ったらアップしようと構えていたのだけど、結局撮ってなくて、iPhoneの写真。

Sorry, this is one of rumbling posts about food.
I have been craving for fresh milk, tofu, cheese, yogurt, and eggs. Of course I can find some of them in supermarkets here, but all of them have somehow a very long life, which is what I just cannot trust. I suspect such foods definitely have poisonous things to our body. But I have no choice, so I buy "fresh" milk (on the carton it says) and about eggs and cheese, I buy at the organic market I visit on Saturdays once or twice a month. Unfortunately I don't see yogurt containing no sweetener, so I haven't eaten any since I came to live here in Cebu. Instead, I make something like ricotta cheese with "fresh" milk and enjoy eating it with salt & olive oil, or fruit jam, and sometimes like in the photo above, with cake salé, pancake, or bread.
About eggs, I love eating "tamago-kake gohan", hot, just-cooked rice topped and then mixed with raw egg and a bit of soy sauce,  and tried it just once with an organic egg here; it was soooo goooood. But accepting warnings about salmonella, and rice I buy here is different from what I ate in Japan, I haven't eaten  I eat eggs cooked these days. Soft-boiled eggs, sunny-side ups, and scrambled eggs.  I guess you love eggs too:) They look lovely and taste good.
