Adventures in Mission: December 2012
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Saturday, December 29, 2012. How to enjoy Lemon Liquor:. Step 1: Go to the store and buy it. Have a landlady, a lemon tree, and a sense of adventure. Oh, and a DIY fruit liquor kit also helps a great deal. The jar comes filled with "white liquor." I don't know; I didn't ask. But according to a website I read, any clear alcohol will do. The author prefers grain alcohol to vodka, but accepts vodka as the easiest option. And then we wait. Next to Tokushima is ...

http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013/07/vegetables-galore.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Thursday, July 18, 2013. I do not have anything intelligent to say about these picture. I just feel like sharing them because these tomatoes and peppers make me smile: They look so bright, cheerful, and fun. Enjoy! I do not believe I've ever seen purple tomatoes. These are worthy of tacos . who's coming over for some veg-filled goodness? Tomorrow I'll make eggplant bread. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Musings of a Dawn Treader.

Adventures in Mission: The Summer Sweat Situation
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-summer-sweat-situation.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. The Summer Sweat Situation. Then I moved to Tokushima, where summer begins around 3 April, and lasts until approximately 17 November. After that is autumn, and then spring. If I remember correctly, last year winter was on a Sunday morning. Even all this is would be endurable, but for one small detail: When I arrive at work, I am supposed to be professional. How am I supposed to look (and smell) clean during such a summer?

Adventures in Mission: November 2012

Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Tuesday, November 06, 2012. Where my stomach calls home . When I was six years old, my grandmother informed me that my breakfast choices - cheese, summer sausage, and crackers - were more suited to breakfast in Germany than the U.S.A. 12 years later I made my first pilgrimage to the spiritual home of my stomach. It should come as no surprise that visiting Germany did nothing to satiate, but merely whet me for more. Note the healthy vitamins in this wine ; ).

Adventures in Mission: Sea Turtles in Hiwasa
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013/08/sea-turtles-in-hiwasa.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Saturday, August 10, 2013. Sea Turtles in Hiwasa. While I like sea turtles, I have never been overly fascinated by them. They are interesting, but sea turtles are (as the name suggests) ocean-dwelling creatures. I’ve never been keen on oceans, what with oceans being so full of water. Display showing five of the eight different types of sea turtle. The museum overlooks a beach, a place where turtles come to shore every summer to lay their eggs. Today it ...

Adventures in Mission: What is Karinto Manju?
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013/08/what-is-karinto-manju.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Monday, August 12, 2013. What is Karinto Manju? Karinto in a variety of shapes and flavours. Karinto かりんとうis a sweet stick of deep-fried dough. Manju 饅頭 is a sweet bean paste-filled dumpling. When they collide, they become Karinto Manju. Obviously. Not a very original name, I admit. However, the deep-fried dumplings are very original in style. But, back to the sweets. A popular style of manju. The verdict on Karinto Manju: In my opinion, they are good, but ...

Adventures in Mission: February 2013
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Thursday, February 21, 2013. One Year in the Life of a Tokushima Field: January. I have a new project for the year. Over the past few months, I have been contemplating a photo essay which would be consistent over the course of a year. It seems like a great way to keep readers engaged and allow me to show off my home. Because I am too lazy to do "365 Days of Japan," like my friend Bobbi (she has a great collection of photos, but I would never keep up! Masata...

Adventures in Mission: April 2013
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Thursday, April 04, 2013. Here's how the conversation began:. David: Do you want to go hiking with some friends? Me: Sure (My brain's reasoning: Hiking is walking, and I like to walk). Editing for content after the hike: Hiking is only like walking when I hike by myself. And then it's not actually hiking. It's just walking in a place where there happen to be trees. We didn't all take a bus - our friend Todd biked out,. The gate at Temple 20. 5 Hike back dow...

Adventures in Mission: For want of frosting
http://missionbound.blogspot.com/2013/08/for-want-of-frosting.html
Returning to Japan, the adventures never cease. Monday, August 19, 2013. For want of frosting. One of the Turner children made this cupcake. Before we came Japan. I don't remember who,. But it's the sort of cupcake I wanted today! Have you ever thought to yourself, “Hey, I’ve got half a pan of brownies, and I’m craving chocolate. You know what would be good? A little frosting to go on those leftover brownies! This is meant to be! So you just take a brownie out of the pan and eat it. Praying on the Prairie.
