みょうがの甘酢漬け｜Pickled Myoga Ginger

みょうがの甘酢漬け｜Pickled Myoga Ginger

みょうがの甘酢漬けをつくったら、奇麗なピンク色。酢と砂糖を同じくらいの量で漬けたけど、ちょっと甘いので砂糖半分くらいでいいかも。

I made some pickled myoga. Myoga is a kind of ginger and it goes well with cold noodles in summer. Once pickled with some vinegar and some sugar, it turns into a beautiful colour and it's good to eat on its own.

井山展望台｜Iyama viewpoint

先週末は豊田市の稲武町に行ってきた。名古屋を朝８時頃出発して、天狗棚の展望台まで登る。途中で何もなさそうな所でカメラを持った夫婦に会った。何を撮っているのかと聞くと、

「そこにマダラクワガタがいるよ。」

「えークワガタ？どこどこ？」

木の上にとてもクワガタとは思えない小さい虫が。体長１センチもない。こんなクワガタもいるんだ。

そのあと井山展望台でお昼。風が強くてお弁当が飛ばされそうになる。井山展望台までの道に黄色い木苺がたくさん。もみじいちごというのみたい。味は甘酸っぱいくて美味しい。水分は多めな感じ。

Last weekend some friends and I went to Inabu, which is a town that is now part of Toyota city. We left Nagoya around eight in the morning and went on a pleasant walk up Tengudana. We were lucky with the weather and got some clear views. We had lunch at Iyama but it was so windy that some of my lunch flew off my chopsticks! We ended up taking a short nap staying close to the ground to avoid the strong winds. Along the path up to Iyama viewpoint, there was a lot of wild raspberries so we had some for starters and for dessert.
