Wow, early first chestnuts this year♬♬♬
Every year in September, we are expecting to have chestnuts from one of our neighbors. Enjoyed the fall flavor for the first time this year. I took pictures of them.

One of my next door neighbor (who is not
the one match-maker of us I mentioed before) have parents who own mountain. And
every year we have the privilege to have fresh chestnuts from them. Hubby happily did
the peeling job for the rice (^^;)
Had a yummy dinner tonight♬♬♬
PS. I will be busy for a while for upcoming memorial service of my bro and mom. Haha, lots of preparation as well as cleaning of the empy house and weeding.
See you after more than a week later.

a memorial service for your brother and mother? i am hoping their passing was not recent, and if so, my condolences to you.
ReplyDeletethe chestnuts look very interesting!
(in the US, we use the phrase 'pillar of the community' to describe someone who is well-respected and esteemed in the area. the word 'pillar' can also mean 'column'. so i did a word-play to describe these big homes with ornate columns in my town.) :)
Those chestnuts look so beautiful, Miyako. My mother loved them. We always have them on the table for Thanksgiving dinner. I like to put them in my stuffing for the turkey.
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard, though, rest every now and then. ((hugs)) xo
Ohhh mikaku no aki has arrived! Your chestnut rice looks very yummy! It feels I can almost smell cooked kuri :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have lots of things to do, but please don't work too hard. I hope the memorial service will go smoothly. Please take very good care of yourself, Miyako san!
Dearest Miyako san,
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very yummy dish! Personally I LOVE chestnuts.
Don't worry about your busy schedule, those emotional duties are important to attend to. We will wait for you.
Hugs and love from your American friend.

Damn has the time for your memorial service for your brother and mother has rolled around again....I think it awesome that you have memorial services for the departed.....what a great tradition.......
ReplyDeleteChestnuts are not a nut I eat very often my favourtie nut is the almond
I never realized that chestnuts can be cooked in a variety of ways! All dishes seem delicious :)
ReplyDeleteYou are from Japan... I teach English online to Japanese students. I have just started and I'm still trying my luck to fill up my classes, hahahaha!
By the way, I would like to get to know you more by reading your future posts. Would you be interested to follow each other?
Take care!
oooh I think chestnut rice sounds delicious. I can't believe your friends own a whole mountain. Though I think that happens in the UK occasionally. Best wishes for your memorial service! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat must taste very nice...rice is so good anyway with added flavors.
ReplyDeleteLucky you to get Chestnuts,I love them roasted. Our son does some at the restaurant in the autumn.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs
Dear Miyako,
ReplyDeleteI have just finished reading your last three posts. Forgive me for not commenting on all three but lately my PC has been acting it's age and running poorly. The screen freezes and I can not scroll down. It's very frustrating and so very slow to work with.
Your chestnut and rice looks delicious. You set a lovely table and your dishes always look like something from the pages of a cook book. My food never looks like something I would want to take photos of. :0}
Be well my dear bs. Love always
