I went back to Fukuoka to attend my friend's wedding ceremony.

It was so heartwarming and my friend was really really beautiful bride !

Hope thier happiness last forever !!!!!

And fortunately, I could go to 放生会 at Hakozaki shrine.

It is one of the biggest festival in Fukuoka and has a long history, over 1000years !!

soooo crowded !!!!!

There were 700 shops here and I found even 雪花氷. ( I forgot to take a picture....)

Whenever I came to a Festival like this, always eat this one.

Barbecued squid. Yummy~~~

This is a shop selling "梅ヶ枝餅/UMEGAEMOCHI".

"OHAJIKI", small discs of china used in game played by kids.

These are specially-designed for this festival to thank all the lives and a harvest season.

I was able to stay only for 2days, but could meet my mom and friends.

It was nice weekend.

久々にこの曲聞いたけど、やっぱり好きだわ～。

I went to see cherry blossoms in Kinuta Park last weekend.

Drinking and eating under the big cherry tree makes me comfortable.

It is very short time we can see cherry blossoms,

so I am going to enjoy it again this weekend with my friends.

Next time we are goint to make hot pot under the tree !!

I can't wait !!!

Today, I had a hot pot party with my friends

Every Winter comes, we are looking forward to make this pot called "PYENRO NABE".         This is a chinese pot dish and was introduced us in a book of Seno Kappa, a Japanese novelist.http://www.yui.or.jp/7jigen/club/penro1.html

Recipe is very easy and simple. We need chiken, pork, Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushroom, gelatin noodles, sesame oil and salt. That's all !

Anyone can make it delicious if a Chinese cabbage is good. It is very important for making this pot.  

So, we can eat this pot only in Winter. Because it is the best season for a Chinese cabbage.

That's why I can feel Winter comes having this pot !
