A friend invited me to go pick wild garlic for the first time. It had such a strong chive-like smell! I made a simple stir-fry with just one egg, as I wasn’t sure how it would taste, and it turned out absolutely delicious!😋友達に誘われて初めてワイルドガーリックを採りに行きました。ワイルドガーリックとは言うけど、これはニラ！帰って恐る恐るニラ卵を作ったら、とっても美味し〜い🙌

This week, we baked matcha and cacao cookies. Thankfully, the M&M’s behaved this time—hidden inside instead of melting all over! 🍪🍵 今週は抹茶とココアのクッキーを焼きました。5歳にしてお抹茶の味を覚えてしまった娘…😋

Baked some buns for the first time in a while. Thought M&M’s would make cute eyes and noses… but they had other plans! Still delicious, though😋
久しぶりにパン作り。チョコでお顔を描こうと思ったんだけど…

It’s freezing outside, so I made borscht for the first time in ages. Tried a new recipe, and wow—it turned out absolutely delicious! Somehow ended up with two full pans of it😅 but there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of borscht to keep us cosy for the next three days!

Eight days passed without me realising. Tried one of the persimmons today. It’s so soft and sweet now! Looks like the apple worked its magic🍎

The little Christmas tree we bought from Lidl 5 years ago is now over 2.5m tall. Who knew it would grow into such a giant?🎄

Stayed cozy at home avoiding the storm. Spent the day baking some festive biscuits, feeling very Christmassy!

My 5yo can now sing The Twelve Days of Christmas perfectly! Last year, she could only manage ‘Fiiiive golden rings…’ What a difference a year makes!

Bought some persimmons, but they’re so sour! Heard keeping them with an apple can sweeten them in a week. Let’s see if it works!

Baked a matcha green tea cake this week! This time, I warmed the butter and eggs in a hot water bath while mixing. It turned out soft and moist! How can I make the cake rise more?🤔
