On Last Sunday

My dad and mom came our home on last Sunday. We had a good time and he talked about  his memory of my fishing in my childhood. I got started Bass Fishing when I was in the higher grade of elementary school and couldn't catch any for long time. He got the information about the good pond in the neighbor city, and took me there when I'm in the junior high school. I got bite to my lure(Crankbait) named 'Bass Hunter M(pink color)'. Needless to say, I was so excited feeling his strong tug directly. But when I was almost about to land him to the shore, he was hooked off and dropped into the water. At that time, my dad dashed to catch it and did it!! It was unforgettable memory for me also, and I've been just a boy who likes fishing. Nothing has changed.

He likely ate

this one this morning. Found two at least.

Had good lunch us together. We all loved it! Definitely they all support my salt lure fishing because I keep the fish basically when I catch it. I don't have much confidence to be back to the fly fisher so far...

My story about octopus

Speaking of Octopus, I remember one summer day when I was a schoolboy. My uncle and aunt took my cousin and me to the seashore. I liked to catch small fish and something by fishing net in the small pool surrounded by rocks and got crazy about it. I found the middle sized crab, but it looked like something strange. Yes, it was dead one. I was wondering what happened to it for a while. Suddenly I could see something which was camouflaged with the rock. It was the octopus which ate the crab I saw! I was surprised and so excited to find it. And could catch it very carefully by the fishing net. I wanted to show it to my dad and mom and eat it, so I took it in the small plastic case filled by sea water. But it died soon, and got bad when I arrived my home. As a result, I had no option without threwing it away to the river in front of my house...

About 30 year later, I could catch it by lure fishing, bring it in the cooler condition, and cook it by myself. Ate it for lunch and tasted it cautiously. Just Thank Heaven!

Personally I felt that

this was better than normal salt-grille one though, my family except me liked that one contrary to my expectation... Maybe my salt choice(with herb) was wrong this time.

KAMASU salted and dried overnight

Cut and removed guts. Rinsed it very carefully.

Wait 10 min after salted.

Dried them in the shade.

Ready for the grill!

Good to eat

After. Good to eat for our lunch. Thanks god!

We've been to SENBONHAMA beach for playing the braveboad.

It was too sunny and hot day today.

And took place 2nd BBQ this season.

No mosquito and moderate weather, it was perfect day for BBQ today.

First BBQ of this year

I can't start BBQ without drinking any time.

Happy drinking in the daytime!

Fresh green color tells me that it is already May now.

Very basic ingredients for the first BBQ this year.

Let's clean up the remaining liquor of the last party.

 

Very good start of the consecutive holidays

Dad's kitchen this week

was simple beef noodles, since the eldest daughter'd had loose bowels.

Simple supper

It was pleasant to cook while drinking beer for me.

The main ingredient was a turnip.

Wasn't bad, I think.

Lance's White Day

My first try for cooking fruit cake using the dutch oven.

Wasn't bad and they said they liked it.

Very quick supper.

About two weeks ago,

I cooked quick supper.

Grilled fresh tuna with sweet soy sauce and easy minestrone.

Day 6; Her B.D. party

Good morning by a good breakfast

They were well dried.

And smoked well by the hickory wood.

I was happy because my elder daughter liked it very much.

She got this machine as a prize of gymnastic class's handstand tournament .

We all were so exited!

Almost impossible to stop it...

My wife's chiffon cake was marvelous!

Please have a fantastic B.D. tomorrow, sweetie.

Baked apple with sweet alcohol

Apple stuffed with brown sugar and margarine of soy beans.

Joyful moment after BBQ.

I tried this sweet alcohol given by Mr.M.

It was very good for the baked apple.

Confit of SANMA

My wife and I talked about the confit of SANMA(saury) before.

And she tried it today.
