Grinding rice
Working from home all day today too.
Today alone, there are nine boardsmeeting.
Online, zoom held.
I miss the days when I traveled around the country on bullet trains and planes for board meetings.
On the way back, I had got an hungover after drinking some local sake.
Still, I turn over the new pamphlet and read it.
In addition, I was working on a plot for a mystery sci-fi movie.
Of course, it’s an amateur’s play, and it won’t come true.
Set in the city where the next facility will be built, the new employees will be the main character.
Cataclysms, disasters, wars, political intrigues, espionage, adventure stories, no romance stories.
Sakyo Komatsu’s sinking of Japan, Shinichi Hoshi’s short-short, and Yasutaka Tsutsui’s madness are added to the story.
Well, I was amused by myself, thinking only about scenes that came up with ideas and were not organized.
Luckily, none of it evaporates with the alcohol, leaving nothing in my memory.
So far the story of the glory of the past.
Right now, I’m living a retirement life in a tea room, drinking 7 types of medicinal herb tea in order.
In my sparetime I was bored, so I tried to cook rice myself.
We receive rice from the town where the facility is located.
Last year’s new rice is still left.
Cooking with local water is the most delicious, but I use tap water in Tokyo.
Before this year’s new rice comes out, I have to enjoy it now, so I’m eating two go.
Rinse with hot water and cook with hot water.
It’s frustrating to soak it in water overnight, and it’s cooked right away.
Soften with plenty of water.
If it’s true, it would be safer to turn it into porridge instead of choking.
Cooking and eating alone, and if you get aspiration pneumonia, it’s no laughing matter.
I eat it with ochazuke.
I want to get rid of the habit of eating early, but somehow I can’t get rid of my impatience.
We unconsciously carry chopsticks in lunch boxes during meetings and in the custom of dinner parties.
Moreover, while talking, making a phone call, watching TV, unconsciously.
When I was a child, I was often scolded by my mother within the nagara family.
Recently, I feel like I have become more and more busy eating.
I have plenty of time.
At dinners and meetings, no matter how many people there are, I always finish first.
Don’t be proud.
I don’t dislike polishing rice.
I still remember the back view of my mother polishing rice every day when she was a child.
I’ve been using the same colander all my life since I got married.
Young Yasunari said that it was already uneven and the metal was worn out, so he should buy a new one.
Then my mother declared that she would use this colander for the rest of her life until it had a hole in it.
It was like her mother’s obstinacy as a housewife.
I remembers that scene well.
I don’t think she liked cooking that much, but she was particular about it.
She is a full-time housewife, not a craftsman’s obsession with tools.
Was it the stubbornness of a female university graduate full-time housewife at the time who was not allowed to work outside?
My father, who was a medical student, got married as a student, had a private car, and was a newlywed with a maid.
After all, I still have the colander that still don`t have a hole in it.
When I lived with my parents, we used a family rice cooker, so I’m thinking of buying the latest one-person-use rice cooker.

Plum chazuke or salmon chazuke, that is the question.
