Afternoon Tea Party at Madam Masako's.

Today I took a leave for a meeting at my son's school. After that, visited Madam Masako's place.

Egg, Ham, Curry Chicken!(spicy but a little bit sweet), tomato, smoked salmon and cucumber.

She went to London several months ago and has been attracted the afternoon tea in London. She made super gorgeous sandwich for us!! This is the stunning beautiful sandwich we had EVER!

According to her recipe, spread butter on the both side of bread is the key to beautiful sandwich.

I always admire for her presentation. This is what we call " ELEGANT" itself.

I am going to try this elegant sandwich next time. :)

Cheese Cake for Taro

Madam Masako made a fabulous cheese cake for Taro last week!!

Simple but very sophisticated cake. Thank you Masako!!

He's not in a mood to have cheese cake at the moment. :( But I'm sure that he loves her cake!)

My dearest friend Masako held a farewell party for us. What for? Because some of our friends including me will go back to my work next week!!

She's really gorgeous and her meals are splendid indeed.

Thank you Masako-san, I am really proud of you!!

Tonight she prepared for the special red wine called "Barolo 2000". I am not familiar with wine at all but I am 100 % sure that was awesome. We got lucky. :)

I wish I could tell the taste like a "sommelier"!

Taro has still got diarrhea. He is taking medicines though.... Tomorrow he is going to be absent from school. Hope he will get well soon....

Mickey Madeleine

Baby gathering was held at Madam Masako's place. She baked fabulous madeleines!

When it comes to Mickey& Minnie, her son gets excited and shout "Minnie"! He's really into it.

Very cute indeed. :) Taro is not so interested in this sort of character goods, but maybe I'll get some vehicle molds for him soon.

Madam Masako's Dinner

My dearest friend, Masako invited us to the dinner. Actually we quite often gather and have dinner together. Yes quite often!! several times a week!

We are coming and going one another places.

Her son Kai-kai is same age as Taro. They're good friends. :)

Look at the beautiful salad! I named it Spring has come salad. Various Japanese herb and the glittering fish, Sayori. Slightly flavoured with curry. It goes with a special white wine.( actually she is an professional sommelier!)

Beautiful Cauliflower Potage.

The main dish is lemon chicken. Very delicious indeed.

These dishes are for us not kids. Taro enjoyed playing with other mates.

Today, I got the notification that Taro cannot enter the public day care centre due to too many applicants there. I never expected we were not able to get in the school!

Probably he will go to another private day care centre where is located to near my company. I am really worried about the compatibility of my work with child care.

Can he stand the rush-hour and crowded train every morning? We are not ready yet. :(

Jun and I have to think over about each responsibilities at home.

Cannot imagine how much changing we will be in April.

The rest of my child care leave is 34 days only.

Only I can do is that to enjoy my rest of full-time mom and post lots of meals on this blog!
