I have been concerned about what went on in the politics in our country, that is, the drift to the far right, for the past several weeks. It is a reason why I haven't renewed this blog. I still have some observation and view on it. But not so cranky at it any longer like when I was younger. People may realize what they have chosen for the administration in our country in the near future. Or before that, they may encounter drastic peril. I still believe the problem is that people are accepting and even supporting the reign by ultra right politicians, who often make very bad and thinly veiled or even obvious lies. It often causes unscientific as well as unreal conspiracy in the society. As quoted Arendt's words previously, it is akin to or leading them to fascism.
Enough with politics. I am still cooking dinner at home. This is pork seasoned with salted rice malt. I knew salted rice malt was useful in cooking. I have practised it as the seasoning of chicken breast thinly sliced. You may preserve it for a week or two. This pork dish was also good. Salted rice malt contains protease or amylase. Once foods are is marinated with it, protein and/or starch is digesed and the food becomes even more delicious.
How many times I have uploaded the photo of blooming Ume? One of the earliest signs of spring here. From the end of last month to a few days ago, it had been pretty cold. But it seems the biological clock within these trees tells them to come out.
I could not help askng myself how many times I could appreciate it. Not asking such unnecessary question, I may have to enjoy the moment of arrival of joyful spring. It is the time for me to start planting such as potatoes very soon.
