onigiri

Today we had picnic in a park. My old neighbours came back in London for the weekend before flying to Japan. The little girl Umi who was just starting to walk 5 months ago now knows how to carry things. Amazing...!
I made bento box with rice balls, salad and asparagus rolled in bacon which is Taeko's favourite. The girls were very happy to have rice balls and I was also so happy to know that they have Japanese palette!
By the way, rice ball: Onigiri, Omusubi is a typical bento content. We make balls with freshly cooked rice. What you do is to wet your hands and put some salt on your palm then rice. You kind of press the rice into a triangle shape (in my case) in your palms. You want to keep the rice ball in a good shape but you don't want to squeeze the rice. You need right strength to make good rice balls. And it always remind me of mum as she would make ones when I went travelling.


今日はスペインから週末滞在している高橋ローズリー一家とその友人たちとピクニックをしました。5ヶ月前ようやく歩き始めたばかりだった海ちゃんは、モノを持って歩けます。妙子はなんだかしっかりして見えました。Indigoは久しぶりに妙子と遊べてとても嬉しそう、やっぱり幼なじみは特別な存在なんでしょうね。
お弁当におにぎりにサラダと妙子の好物のアスパラのベーコン巻きなどを作っていったのですが、おちびたちはおにぎり大好きで、日本人の味覚を持っているのねーと思うと、とても嬉しかったです。
一家はスペインでは畑を作っています。家の周りで拾い集めたオリーブから作ったオリーブオイルを持ってきてくれました。どんな味がするのかしら?楽しみです。
