Lemons and Limes



How are you?
Do you see anybody around you who have been catching cold?

I have several people around me including my husband who had made trips via airplane and have been suffering from flue or cold symptoms.

Fortunately, I haven’t been catching cold for 2-3 years.
For me, lemons, limes and gingers are the best food to take in order to maintain my healthy body.
I drink lemon or lime water every day.
I drink ginger water when I feel my throat seems to be irritated.
They work very well for me not to catch cold!

Homemade Zucchini Bread




I baked zucchini cup cakes with a fresh zucchini from my friend’s garden.

I love a cooking magazine, Cooking with Paula Deen and used her zucchini bread receipt from the following website.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/zucchini-bread-recipe/index.html

Instead of making 2 loafs, I made cup cakes.
The baking time could shorten from 1 hour to 16 minutes.

They turned to be nice and moist and delicious!

Elks in Lakewood, Colorado



My husband and I were so lucky to see 2 elks while driving on 6th Avenue today.




They were so beautiful and peaceful.

Japanese Biodegradable Body Wash Clothes





The attached photos are eco-friendly body wash clothes that I purchased in Japan.
These are made of 100% cotton, 70% cotton & 30% soy, and 70% cotton & 30% silk.
These are light weight and like cheese clothes.
Each cloth has a little bit different texture and the 70% cotton & 30% silk one is the softest.

What new to me was the soy based cloth.
The package says that the cloth made of soy protein has silky texture and is gentle on skin.
