There’s only one rope… THIS MEANS WAR!!
なんて映画のタグラインをパロって書いてみたけど・・・。

ベイリーくんお泊まり四日目。

今日は室内運動場 (仮) で綱引き大会w

おこちゃまなヒロはわがままだから、
大人なベイリーくんはロープを譲ってあげた模様。

No, actually, there was one more rope. You can both have fun with your rope ^^
でもね、実はもう一個ロープあるんだ。取り合いっこしないで楽しめるよ？

20120221-120933.jpg
Hiro, what happened to your rope?
・・・ってあれ、ヒロ、自分のロープはどしたの？

20120221-120939.jpg
I guess tag of war is more fun than just chewing on the rope, huh?
結局綱引きの方が楽しいってことだね。

20120221-120944.jpg
At the end Bailey got tired, …
しばらくしたらベイリー君はお疲れで。

20120221-120948.jpg
… and Hiro continued on chewing the new rope.
ヒロは一人寂しく綱噛みをしてましたとさ。

Sleep when the sun is high…
ぽかぽか太陽の下でお昼寝して・・・

20120219-172459.jpg
… And sleep some more when sun is low…
太陽がバイバイする時間に遊び疲れてもう一回お昼寝・・・

20120219-172509.jpg
I love how Bailey flat out his back legs when he sleeps…
ベイリーのこの寝姿が、私はお気に入り。

Hiro seems to like sleeping on the floor better.
ヒロは絨毯に直寝の方が好きみたいね？

It was, hmmm, you’ll like it if you like ginger ^^; Maybe I should get better tasting honey.

    First, I minced a piece of ginger with Cuisinart hand blender.


    The one I have came with whisk and chopper attachments, which became very convenient when I needed to chop up stuff – times like when I want to make hotpot condiments, I just throw the ingredients in the chopper container and blend them away. Or when I make takoyaki and I have to chop up tons of cabbage, I just use this and it saves a whooole a lot of time. It’s not heavy like how the traditional blender are, and it is very easy to clean, so I’m using it more and more.

    Anyway, I minced a piece of ginger with it and it became like this:

    20120209-232856.jpg

    Then, I put that in the Thermos Nissan tea tumbler:



    I’ve been wanting this for a while ever since I saw one of my coworkers was using, but didn’t like the fact that it holds only 12 oz. Well, I bought it anyway, and it came in handy when making this ginger tea.

    I put a spoon of honey and some cinnamon powder in the tumbler, ginger in the infuser (yes it comes with a built-in infuser!), and pour hot water over it. I sealed the lid tightly and flipped it upside down so that ginger bits would get soaked thoroughly in hot water.

    Hot water didn’t leak at all so it was good. Over all I like this tumbler, but I wish the lid was not made of plastic, and also was easy to open/close the lid. I’m kinda lazy to unscrew the infuser and the lid, and put on the drinking lid… Also this is made in China, which I tried to stay away if possible, but well, hard to tell when purchasing online. Oh well? ^^; 12 oz seems so little though. If it was 16 oz, it was probably better.

    Once I’m done drinking first round, I added some more hot water and drank some more. My first round was a little too sweet, so the second round was just about right.

    After three rounds of honey cinnamon ginger tea, the ginger bits looked like this:

    Are they brownish from honey? Not sure where the color came from…

    Hubby taught Hiro to bark when we ask him who’s that? Only works when we hear some sound ie when someone opens the door, but might be useful in the future?
