Menu065 -Homemade bread-

The bread machine Mr.Cedar gave me as my birthday present about 5 years ago.
I haven't used it for ages.
But recently Mr.Cedar complains everytime I buy bread at a supermarket.

OK, then I decided to serve him homemade bread on weekend! 

This is the homemade bread or machine-made bread at home :P
Looks nice, isn't it?? 
We had this yesterday morning as Sunday breakfast.
Mr. Cedar was happy and his happiness made me happy as well :D

Menu064 -Hummus-

I suddenly felt like having greek food.
That's why I made hummus (chickpea paste)!
Ingredients: chickpea, olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, garlic, ground sesami, basil

Do you think why it is so small??
Because I ate it, forgetting to take a photo... hahaha.
Needless to say, it was really tasty.
Pita bread and hummus are absolutely the best combination!

Menu063 -Painter's life-

When I was a child, I wanted to be a painter.
But my passion to be a painter was gradually getting weak as I became older.
I liked drawing and seeing paintings, though.

When I enterd a university, my major was chemistry.
It was totally a different field from my childhood dream.
Then I worked at a company as a researcher after the university.
I think I haven't even touch brushes since I was 20 years old.

Now, I become a house wife and have a lot of time.
One day, I felt like painting something strongly.
I took brushes and painted for the first time in 10 years.

This is it.
Seven Sisters
Although I'm not content with this, it is so so good as the first work, isn't it??

Menu062 -Back in-

Our summer holiday is finally finished.
It means the end of lazy life.
My alarm clock wakes me up at 6:30.
I wake up Mr. Cedar around 7:30 and send him off to his work.

Everything is getting back to normal.
I'll also restart this blog :D

Menu061 -Out of order-

My PC is about to die...
There seems to be something wrong with a display.
The display doesn't display properly...

Oh, my gosh...

Menu 060 -Three years ago today-

Three years ago today, I resigned due to the marriage.

We were in long distance relationship.
It was difficult for me to keep working in order to live together with Mr. Cedar.

This year, I'm gonna be a mom.
I wonder what is going on with my second life?!

It looks tasty, isn't it?? Have these tomorrow morning as weekend breakfast! Ummmm... sounds so nice!

Menu 058 -Revenge-

Last night I shook my belly, shouting "Wake up, Baby. Are you OK?"
My behaviour seemed uncomfortable for my baby and I may have made him or her grumpy.

This morning, I woke up early without alarm clock, feeling something strange in my belly.
The very next minute, I felt my baby moving vigorously.
I've never experienced these strong quickening before.
It was like my baby woke me up as a last night revenge.

To know my baby's healthy condition is more than happy for me.
But this morning quickening was too vigorous to not be able to keep sleeping.

I will swear I never shake my belly intentionally...

This week's belly (22w)
