Sunny holiday morning
Good morning
I'm going to IKEA today for the first time in a long time
Frozen watermelon
Add honey and a little water to make a smoothie
Croffle is baked deliciously
Peanut butter powder and honey on top
Breakfast today
Watermelon smoothie tastes better than I expected
I think it's going to be a staple this summer
I haven't made a croffle in a long time
Freshly baked croquettes are still the best :)
I'm planning to eat lunch at IKEA restaurant.
I've kept breakfast light.
Measurements taken before departure.
And imagine where you're going to place it.
I'm off with the Ikea bag.
I'm in the mood for a fleeting hanami 🌸 while waiting for the traffic light
It's a holiday, so I've prepared for it to be crowded.
Maybe it's because it's the opening time, but it's more empty than I expected.
First of all, we look at the showroom to get an idea of what we're looking for.
There are so many different styles, just looking at them makes your dreams come true.
I've been thinking about buying some tableware for a long time.
When the real thing is on display
It's easy to get an image of what it will look like after you buy it.
I'll be hungry for lunch before I go shopping.
Lots of matcha sweets at matcha fair
Drinks with lingonberry juice
Cold tea is added to make lingonberry iced tea
The first plant-based fish and chips I ever had.
It was just plain delicious.
If I was closer to home, I'd come more often!
Hot cafe latte after dinner
I'm full now
Shopping is just the right amount of exercise!
I found a cushion to prevent scratches on furniture
First dried mint potpourri seen
Dish drainer mat in new color
I tend to buy too many kitchen utensils.
I'm carefully assessing whether I really need it or not
Choosing what I like about natural materials
The box I've always wanted was cheaper.
Finally, you see a big one that needs a major
I looked up what I wanted to buy on the Internet beforehand
It was a smooth shopping experience
And bought some groceries on the way home.
Apple soft serve ice cream on the way home
I'm tired, but I had fun~
I need to put away the frozen food as soon as possible...
This time I can buy what I wanted and what I found by chance...
I am satisfied with my purchase!
I'll start cleaning up the small stuff right away.
Small items that are inconvenient to store because they are used frequently are
I put them all together in a basket for easy access.
I also rearranged the drawers that I was interested in.
I found Muji's case to store cords easy to use.
All frequently used cords are stored in the case
Pull it like this to stretch it
This eliminates the stress of cords tangling with each other.
Clip earphones together
Use tying tape for the remaining short cords
Convenient to tear off by hand at any part you want
It's made of Velcro tape.
Smooth removal after cord is put together
Cords now easy to remove
The cords that used to be tied with cable ties are now tied with cable ties.
Make it easier to remove and move
Increasing number of instruction manuals and warranties are
Separate the necessary ones from the old ones that are no longer needed.
Grouped by use in a file case I bought at Daiso
The shelves are now clean and tidy.
Mittens that didn't fit my hands and were a little hard to use
I bought them because I liked the color and design
I always use Dalton's mittens.
The rubber part is falling apart after a year or two
I plan to use this one until it falls apart, too.
Sachet (scent bag) containing dried mint
Mint leaves with a nice natural aroma
I don't like perfume or air freshener, it's perfect for me
I tried to put it on a hanger, but it wouldn't fit.
I put a string on it.
I used it in the closet because I heard it also has an insect repellent effect
It's also good to put it under the pillow or in the doorway, etc.
Net bag made of 100% cotton with good ventilation
Well-made and elastic
Flat drying nets and clothes drying bags that are used only occasionally
Just right for small items around the washing machine
The rest of the cleanup can wait.
I'm hungry, so I'll have dinner a little early.
While the salmon is defrosting
Prepare vegetables to be baked together
Season with olive oil, salt and pepper
Use rosemary just picked in the morning
I soak it in water and it thaws in about 20 minutes
I was tired from walking around at Ikea
I made a simple menu for dinner, just put it in the oven
I only have one baking sheet in the oven.
I put an enameled container on a fish grill net
Grill them together in two steps
Heated in grill mode for 30 minutes
Staple food is paella, easy to make in a frying pan
Squid is lightly fried and removed once
Rice is stir-fried until transparent
1 bag of ikasmi pasta sauce and the same amount of water as rice
Bring to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for 14 minutes
Nice scent of rosemary and lemon
Paella is ready, so I'm going to make rice
Salmon is soft and tender.
The salmon is fatty and very tasty.
I always buy squid paste at Cardi's, but they are out of it.
I tried to make it with pasta sauce for the first time.
It was so rich and delicious that it lingered in the mouth.
We had bamboo shoots last night.
I boil them fresh with rice bran
For breakfast I bake cinnamon rolls that I bought yesterday
Sweet bread with good coffee
And get some passion fruit yogurt.
Breakfast is ready
Cinnamon rolls are Scandinavian style with strong cardamom
Sweetness was just right.
After dinner, I plan to continue cleaning up yesterday's mess
The drainage mat has a new color!
Three Coins' mat became saggy after a year.
Ikea's is not sagging after 3 years of use
Green one is in use for 3 years, gray one is new
I didn't have just the right storage box that would fit in the TV stand.
I decided to use a napkin holder
Putting in a set to be used for the tea censer
The other side is for putting remote control
I bought the contents of the cushion
I bought these cushions from IKEA before.
It became flat like a cushion.
I decided to put two inners in.
I just barely managed to get two in
Now I can watch a movie comfortably.
Next is the picture frame that I've been looking forward to
I hope to be able to travel to many places in the future
I am going to decorate a world map with my wishes
I think I measured the size and bought it, but...
I made a mistake in the size.................lol
I gave up and decided to look for a frame again
I changed the rugs to spring and summer ones.
I did a small redecoration of the living room.
Rugs are treated with oxygen bleach, which can be used for colored rugs.
Deodorize and sanitize before machine washing.
I boiled the bamboo shoots for 60 minutes and put them out of the hot water.
The inside of the mushrooms were soft and tender.
The root bumps are removed
It's too much to eat in one sitting
Half of it will be stored in the refrigerator
Lunch can only be enjoyed at this time of the year
Freshly boiled bamboo shoots with chinjaolo sauce
Shredded pork loin 200g
Salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon sake, 1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon katakuriko (potato starch)
I had some frozen raw eggs.
I cut them in half and made small fried eggs
When pork is cooked, add vegetables
Add sauce and let it thicken.
<Sauce for Chinja Roast 2 tablespoons oyster sauce 1 tablespoon sake 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon chicken broth
I also put bamboo shoots in soup.
Bowl of rice topped with chinja-roast is ready
I used Krasil's recipe as a guide.
It was delicious and tasted good with white rice!
I hung the washed rugs out to dry while the sun was still there
I ate lunch and I'm feeling better.
I'm going to work hard on assembly in the afternoon
The sticker on the tree that you can't remove is
If you warm it up with a hair dryer, it will come off cleanly.
This stool has few parts.
It was assembled by just screwing four parts together.
Put the floor protector on the floor to prevent scratches on the floor.
When the stools look good
I also wanted to find a pot to go with the stool
I just wanted to get the messy stuff done first.
I decided to get into the spirit of the project and assemble the wooden box as well
There are too many places to tighten the screws
I'm going to have sore muscles tomorrow, but I managed it.
I wasn't sure whether to use the medicine chest or not
I decided to put tools in it for now
Tape lights that can be attached anywhere
It can be used with USB-A power adapter
With ON/OFF switch
Can be used by cutting to desired length
I'm going to attach it to a shelf in the kitchen.
It looks like a stylish cafe!
I also bought a cover to hide the wiring.
The cords are now neatly organized.
Now it's easy to see what you're doing when you're cooking!
In no time at all, it's time for dinner
First, we prepare bamboo shoot rice
2 cups rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sake, 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Side dish should be something simple that can be made before rice is cooked
The first one is seasoned with sugar, mirin and soy sauce
Sauteed bamboo shoots
Main dish is one-pot dish of radish and pork rib
Pork belly between daikon radish
1 tsp soup stock, 3 tbsp sake
Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes
A little mentsuyu for kimuchi-tofu
Rice cooked at just the right time
One-pot dish of daikon radish and pork belly is also ready
