saturday i headed to a nearby town to watch a fireworks competition. most of the fireworks in the world are produced in japan, and this competition was a showcase of all the different companies. representatives from all around the world come to view them, as do people from all over japan. the competition was a little under 3 hours of fireworks! and amazing fireworks. there were also street/festival food vendors out. it was a lot of fun.
here are a few pictures of the fireworks, but its hard to capture how pretty they really were.
i headed over with sherley a jet that lives pretty close to me. but we ran into other people there.
sunday i spent running errands, but i also took a walk around itako and found that it is now cosmos flower blooming season. there are many fields full of beautiful flowers and people out and about picking them.
a few picture of the sunset on the wanagawa river in itako. the weather is beautiful these days. it makes it so much nicer to enjoy itako when its not so hot and humid out!
sunday night i also decided to make miso soup. which is really easy and delicious. i think that now that it is cooler i will be making it a lot more often. so dinner was rice with furekake (seaweed mix that goes on top of rice) and miso soup. yum!
i also made applesauce in my rice cooker. it is really easy and delicious! just chop up about 4 apples, throw them in the rice cooker with about 1/3 cup of liquid (water and apple juice mix), a spoonful of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. cook for one cycle. then just mash it up. it was delicious warm and also good this afternoon as a snack, cold.

This blog is becoming a cookbook. You should write one about all the things one can do with a rice cooker, you'd make millions!
The Cosmos are so amazing, there were more fields popping up while we were there. Very beautiful! Mom
