どもども。
Hello there!
皆様、いかがお過ごしでしょうか？
How are you doing today?
さて、Andyっちが日本からミネソタに帰ってから、Hit-chanは一か月間、一人で実家に居候生活をしていました。
So, in April after Andy went back to home MN, I was living with my parents for a month.
その間、つわりもあったりしてあまり出かける事はなかったんですが、この日は久しぶりに母と母の親友Mさんとお出かけしました。
During the time, I didn't go out so much since I had morning sickness, but on the day, I had a date with my mom and mom's best friend, M-san.
落ち合ったのは伏見桃山付近。
We met up in Fushimi-Momoyama area.
Mさんと会うのはいつぶりだろう？と考えていたんですが、当日会って本人に聞いてみたら、どうも3年ぶりだったみたいです。
I was thinking how long it had been since the last time I saw M-san, but I couldn't remember. So, I asked her and then she said it'd been 3 years!
会ったのがちょうど早いランチタイムだったので。。。
We gathered at a little early lunch time, so...
めちゃ久しぶりにキザクラカッパカントリー。
Kizakura-Kappa-Country which is the restaurant we used to hang out at.

Kizakura-Kappa-Country
日本に住んでいた頃もこうやって、母とMさんと一緒にカッパカントリーに飲みに来たりしていたので、めちゃくちゃ懐かしかったです。
Like I said, we used to come to this place to drink often, so I was so happy to be able to come back here with the same faces again.
ただ、Hit-chan、この時つわりがあって、食べられるものがかなり限られてまして、結局この日選んだのは、ご飯とお吸い物＆＆御新香セット。
（注文した時に周りは皆ランチセットなので、お兄さんも、一瞬「？」って止まってはったよ。笑)
Yeah, even at the loving restaurant, I couldn't eat that much because of nausea from morning sickness, so I ended up getting just a meal of rice, soup and pickled veggies which people usually order with an entrée.
(Yeah, the server guy was momentarily shocked when I ordered it since everybody else was ordering other popular lunch meals.)
あ、それとウィンナーも。（食べられるかと思ったけど、あんまりでMさんに助けてもらったよ。）
Yup, I ordered this boiled hotdogs too. (I thought I could eat some, but I couldn't, so M-san helped me to finish the plate.)
あと、Mさんが頼んでくれたこのお新香セットがHit-chan大ハマり！ほぼほぼHit-chanが全部食べちゃった。
Then, this assorted pickled veggies which M-san ordered was the biggest hit to me and I finished almost the entire plate by myself!!
これは母が頼んだ竜馬セット。後から、隣の方が頼んだ日替わりの方が豪華で、ちょっとガッカリしてた。(笑)
This is one of their lunch meals that my mom ordered, but she was a little bit disappointed when the meal of the day on the next table looked better.
ランチを食べる前はつわりでお腹が気持ち悪かったんですが、さすが食べつわり、美味しいご飯とお新香でお腹が膨れたら気持ち悪さは無くなりました。
To be honest, I wasn't feeling that good before this lunch due to morning sickness, but yeah, mine is air hunger morning sickness and the nausea disappeared when my belly got full of the rice and pickled veggies.
特にこの日予定を立ててなかった3人ですが、母が
Anyways, we didn't have any specific plan for the day, but my mom came up with this great idea.
「安産祈願に行こうか！」
"Oh, why don't we go to pray for you having a healthy baby?"
と、近くに安産祈願で有名な神社があるのを思い出して提案してくれました。
She remembered that there's a famous shrine nearby for praying for the safe delivery of your baby.
御香宮神社（ごこうのみやじんじゃ）
安産祈願の護摩を書かせてもらい。。。
You write your wish and your name & address on this wood stick.
折角なのでおみくじを引いたら、大吉！！末広がりの八番だったしね！
And I picked a fortune telling stick and then it was the luckiest one!! Yay!
母に安産の御守りも買ってもらいました。
My mom also bought me a lucky charm for the easy delivery too.
その後、腹巻を探すのに付き合ってもらい、最後は。。。
After that, I wanted to shop a belly warmer and they guided me to a couple of stores and then...
母お薦めの喫茶店でお茶タイム。
We stopped by my mom's recommended café.
Hit-chan、コーヒー大好きで、それもあってミネソタではコーヒーショップに勤めているんですが、この時期はつわりからだと思うのですが、コーヒーをあまり美味しいと感じなくなってました。
（今は味覚も戻って、カフェインフリーのコーヒーを飲んでるよ。）
I'm a big fan of coffee and that's one of the reasons why I'm working at Caribou, but unfortunately, I didn't feel it's tasty that much at that time. Of course, it's from morning sickness.
(I've been back to a coffee lover again and drinking decaf these days.)
なので。。。
Anyways,
クリームソーダ
I got this drink called cream soda. It's ice cream on top of soda. I don't know what the flavor of soda is. We call it Melon soda, but I've never thought it tastes like Melon!
ただ、このクリームソーダ、思ったよりも甘くて全部飲めなかった～。
（この時期、甘いものも苦手になってたのに、「いけるかな？」と思って頼んじゃったのよ。）
Oh well, the soda was kind of too sweet to me and I couldn't finish the entire glass.
(I knew that I didn't like sweet stuff so much around that time from morning sickness, but I thought "Oh, I might like it." for no reason.)
そんな訳で、3年ぶりの女3人デートは大成功でした。
Anyways, I really enjoyed the date for the first time in 3 years!!
欲を言えば、今度会う時は夜のカッパカントリーに行って、昔みたいに美味しく飲んで食べて出来れば嬉しいな。
If I'd be allowed to want more, I wish I could go to the restaurant with them again and I want to drink and eat as much as I like next time!
そんな訳で、今日はこの辺で！！！
Okay, this is all today. Thanks for reading again!!!
