Proverb: Don't Let Your Daughter-in-law Eat Your Autumn Aubergines

I think we can all learn from those words of wisdom. Also I just can't stop eating tenpura aubergine. Basically batter and fry anything (prawns are usual but sweet potato is probably the best.) Maybe not the healthiest of foods but it's certainly better than rotting soy-beans.

Speaking of food, I've been experimenting a lot with miso soup for my breakfast, I now like it with pumpkin and beansprouts in it and onion and maybe some tofu. Although its much quicker just to put seaweed and nothing else in. My friend went to a traditional Japanese inn where they really took miso experiments to another level. She couldn't eat the soup because it contained brain. No joke. She also sent me a photo of it which I won't upload. The proverb does says that some insects will even eat knotweed. I would probably also eat knotweed if the option on the menu was brain.

I'm coming back home very soon which means packing- not one of my favourite things. As the proverb says, put off for one day, ten days pass by. I'll practically be back in Japan by then so maybe I should not even bother. We all know the suitcase is going to remain unpacked on my floor until I have to pack it again anyway. I'll get it done. Tomorrow.

See you soon, and remember; When sun shines, plough field. when rainy, read book.
