１月１６日/実は正月休みに、事務所の近くで火事がありました。老夫婦がお住まいの住宅からの出火だったそうです。家でTVニュースを見ていて、あまりの近さに一瞬驚きましたが幸いにも事務所は無事でした。このところ寒い日が続いていますが、火の元には注意が必要なようです。密集した住宅は他人事ではありません。先週、本江先生とお話を致しました。近々、ご紹介して頂くアーティストがメインページに掲載されると思います。今年は、中国のアーティストを交流の意味で展示致す予定でおります。今後、この交流を長く続けていきたいと考えております。飽くまでも隣人とは仲良く、お付き合いをしたいものです。現在は４月くらいと考えております。代わり映えしない毎日ですが、この寒さの中を寒鱈が届いたそうです。こんなときは、誰かを呼びたいのですがこの寒さと日曜日という条件ではなかなか人は呼べません。残念。新鮮な鱈は、甘塩でネギ、豆腐などでシンプルに鍋にしてポン酢か味噌を薄く溶かして食べると美味しいかもしれません。残りはみりんと塩か味噌、酒粕漬けにして、焼いてお弁当で頂くと堪りません。田舎の冬の味覚であります。田舎も良いですが、ポルトガルの留学生が申しますには、彼の地では干鱈を戻して料理するらしいのです。名物だそうです。食べてみたいです。
January 16 /In fact, a fire was in New Year holidays in a neighborhood of my office.It seems to have been the fire from the house where an old couple lived.I watched TV news in my house, and it was surprised at excessive closeness for an instant, but, fortunately, the building there is my office was safe.A cold day continues recently, but attention is necessary for fire.The house where it crowded is not other people’s affairs.I talked with Mr. Hongo last week.I think that an artist having Mr. Motoe introduce it soon is carried by the main page.It is going to exhibit a Chinese artist in a meaning of the interchange in this year.I want to continue this interchange for a long time in future.We want to associate with the neighbor peacefully persistently.I think that I want to carry out the holding in around April now.It was every day that it did not do of the substitute brilliancy, but a codfish in season seems to have reached in this cold week now.At such time, I want to call somebody, but I cannot readily call my friends in this cold and on Sunday that you have to prepare for a blue Monday.I am disappointed.It makes the fresh cod a simple pan by a leek and tofu in salting lightly and it is juice pressed from a bitter orange or it is thin and dissolves miso and may be delicious if you can eat it with them.Sweet sake and salt or miso, sake lees are soaked, and the remaining fish does it and if you bake it and does it to lunch, it is unbearable and delicious.It is dericious fish of the winter in the country side.So that the country is good, too, but a foreign student of Portugal said that it seems to cook after you soack a dried codfish in water in his hometown.It seems to be a noted product.I want to eat by all means.
