http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

March 15, 2011. Today I have something to notice you. This blog has been consolidated into one with my another japanese blog, flower child. And the new place is here. I've already started the new place, and now it has two languages, English and Japanese for one picture. I hope you'll come to see me there. With leaving here, I want to say many thanks to you all who has been with me here till now. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. March 11, 2011. 祈ることしかできませんが、それでも、ただひたすらに祈っています。 I'll be with them.

around the table: February 2011

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

February 28, 2011. Today I'm happy to begin a week with these pictures taken on the weekend. On the past Saturday and Sunday the temperature was quite low as teens, but we had a plenty of sunshine on both days. So in spite of the cold air, my husband and I were drawn to the outside by the bright Sun. A several days ago I told you that I've recently made some changes, like having had an account with Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr, and maybe the biggest change of all is having started to use a digital camera.

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

September 29, 2010. Taken with contax rts on superia 400). How've you been up to? I've been continuously exhausted for some reason. So many things are still going on and a cup of coffee tastes so good. Though i haven't had much fun around the table, i popped in for updating the picture and words here. It seems to refresh me as well as this place. Well, do you remember that i told you about couple months ago that i wasn't able to enjoy coffee any more? Talk to you soon. September 23, 2010. What i want now.

July 30, 2010. Today's dinner is ready under the chandelier. Taken with nikon f on kodak pro 160c). Today, i'm not going to say much about having been posting new posts everyday recently.

I have been dreaming for 3 nights what i'm going to eat tonight. Why am i thrilled so much? For some people, this may sound strange. I've alr...

around the table: January 2011

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

January 27, 2011. I'm watching an NBA game on TV and considering which team Boston Celtics or Portland Blazer I should root for with drinking wine. As I used to live in Portland and stil love the city sooooo much, I can't decide that though I usually root for Celtics. I like Celtics, love their green. FYI, I really love to watch sports games on TV though most of you might not imagine.). Below is how we enjoyed our last cafe day on very sunny early fall day. I was extremely pleased with a tag for our order.

around the table: Past pictures with Pen-FT -vol.2

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2011/03/past-pictures-with-pen-ft-vol2.html

March 7, 2011. Past pictures with Pen-FT -vol.2. As I told you last time, here's another 10 of pictures taken with Olympus Pen-FT in early summer of 2009. They are actually from test rolls for the camera after having gotten it. When I got these images back from photo service, I wasn't able to like them very much and I've left them till yesterday. (Though some of them were uploaded on either of flickr or blogs.). I think you can understand how this sort of things happen. Have a nice week, guys. :). These ...

around the table: Earthquake

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2011/03/earthquake.html

March 11, 2011. 今朝いつもの朝仕事を終えてから、テレビニュースで日本を襲った地震の映像を見て、愕然となりました。 長く遠く離れて暮らしているけれど、その月日と距離の長さに比例するように、母国への愛おしさはどんどんと膨らみ、そして今回のニュースに、悲鳴をあげている母国の姿に、涙が止まらなくなりました。 勝手ないいぐさですが、「わたしの日本が。。。。。愛おしい国の人々が。。。。。」という台詞を何度も何度も頭の中で繰り返し、映像の前にぽろぽろと涙をこぼしつづけ、しまいには頭がぼぉうっとなっています。 祈ることしかできませんが、それでも、ただひたすらに祈っています。 This morning, I was violently stunned with the images of Japan. It was crying over the damages the strong earthquake had made. Muddy streams were washing the land and furious fire were raging. I'll be with them. When I...

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

November 23, 2010. Maybe i'll eat . Taken with polaroid 680 on px-color film). For my lunch today. It's bitter cold (described that way in today's paper) outside, mildly cold inside. And i'm wanting eggs. Taken with polaroid 680 on px-color). I like 2 poached eggs on 2 slices of well toasted halved whole wheat english muffin with slices of tomato and fresh basil. Fluffy white and slightly trickling yolk when opened are very good. Btw, are you ready for your thanksgiving food? I'm not, not at all. Today i...

http://talkaroundthetable.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

December 28, 2010. Taken with polaroid 180 on chocolate film). How's your holiday season going on? Here snow has just started to rage around in the air, and it's a quiet wednesday morning. Not many words have come to me lately, so i've been rather absent here. Today i don't have much to say yet, just a small talk over the christmas feast we've just had a couple days ago. As we decided to be as simple as possible to celebrate christmas, so was the feast. For main dish, i fixed seafood pasta. Today i don't...
