Soba-Master's visit and Pink Saturday

This Thursday, Soba-master of my husband dropped by. I bought these Lilly and decorated inside of the front door. I loved the welcoming sweet fragrance it had.  

I used this hempen pink purse when I wear my white summer dress. I found it hard to arrange it with other colors, haha.

Hubby's soba-master visited us
We could see him and his wife after half a year's blank. We had a kind of happy reunion lunch. My hubby always buys buckwheat from him and normally he sends us with delivery service. It is repackaged it into smaller sizes for one time use.  For food, sashimi was fresh and Chinese-style barbecued pork were tasty. And very importantly, master admired hubby with his improvement and said he may try 100% soba noodle. (usually, 80% buckwheat : 20% wheat flour)

 I missed the timing of a good shot, sorry meals are not well placed bothered with plates and things
banana was to put into potato salad

  7. Dear Orchid,
    You are a very sweet and lovely lady, it is a pleasure to meet you. I have a very dear friend who lives in Yokohama, but her home is Ishicawa, she lived in New York for 4 years and that is how we became friends. She also studied English in the University in Japan.
    Sending a big smile,
    Lorraine

  9. Oh, Ann.
    Thank you for your sweet comment♪♪♪
    Soba-master is the person who taught my husband how to make noodle and prepared all the necessary equipment for him. He is working as a sort of an adviser for the person who want to open soba restaurant (haha, not my hubby). We owe this master a lot.
    They knew each other when child. Master's soba made my hubby want to make it by himself several years ago when they met again after many decades interval.
    Lucky reunion, as I think my hubby had a nice hobby from him after retired☆☆☆
