let's eat veges and fruits in season!

Do you care to eat seasonal food in daily life?

Now, we can eat any fruits and veges whenever you want because they are grown in a vinyl house.

But we should eat seasonal fruits and veges more.

Compared with unseasonal food, seasonal food contain a lot of nutritian, cheaper, delicious, and less chemicals.

Spring has almost gone, so I focus on veges in summer.

Veges and fruits in summer have an effect of cool our body and contain lots of vitaminC.

Do u like black tea?

What is ur favorite drink?

Fruit juice? water? ... alcohol? lol

My favorite drink is...as u can see on title, black tea.

I have two cups of tea every day.

Almost all of people think tea originated in England, or some other Europian countries, but actually, China is origin of tea. Today, tea-producing countries are India, Sri lanka,Indonesia mainly.

Can u imagine how many flavors are drunk in the world?

Suprisingly, 4000~5000 kinds of tea are drinking.

flavor and taste is changed by season.

here is the golden rule of tea.

1.use tea pot.

2.take the quantity of tea leaf correctly.

3.use boiled water.

4.steam

Plz obey this rule,and enjoy tea!!!!

lastly, I introduce my favorite tea.

I often go to tea shop and sample some, and find favorite flavor.

I live in alone now, but I have more than 20 flavors of tea.

My mother would get angry if she saw my dish shelf...;-x

this is my favorite tea. brand is wedgwood and the brand is famous for tableware.

Flavor is 'wild strawberry'.

I love flavored tea, but usually,flovored tea has a strong smell, so it is not suitable to drink with sweets. Tis flavored tea also has aroma, but it is really nice with sweets.

My diet style

I went to Daikanyama with my friends last week.
I love Daikanyama because there are a lot of great cafeteria:-)


After we ate lunch, we bought lunch plate there.











↑this one is mine

and this blue one is my friend's.
very cute, isn't it?

The reason why we bought them is we heard eating meals with lunch plate is good for diet.

I love eating so I don't want to go on a hard style of diet.

The good point using lunch plate are that we can reduce the quantity of eating naturally and we can eat at least 4 kinds of meals.(it means we can intake a lot of kind of nourishment )

I have been to Australia for six months and I put on my weight there,(maybe 5kg.....OMG) so I thought I had to go on a diet.

I chose orange because I thought the dish looked delicious.

But my friend chose blue because the blue have a power to spoil appetite.

So when you buy dish, to think purpose is also important I think.

Why don't you start 'lunch plate diet' if you are interested in?
