A strange mascot for road safety


That is the mascot chosen by the traffic police in the province of Fukuoka (Japan) for road safety campaign launched 11 to December 31 (21 days)
Mackerel salt Last Thursday
(December 10), returning home in the car, I realized that the traffic of the road that was hijacked by the police walked in an alley.
Instinctively, I checked a seatbelt was fastened, as always!
But what will all these hijacked machines, including my own?
But, beyond the bend that hid the continuation of the road, I saw on the roadside, along with many volunteers who delivered some police, motorists, the envelopes containing some leaflets on what to do and what not to do for the safety of road and a beautiful fish with salt, just mackerel.
The expression of the face of all of us drivers have changed peremptorily: to be preoccupied with disbelief ^ - ^
is to be noted that in Japan it becomes clear, "saba", the slogan of this campaign on road safety is the word "saba-saba" with the meaning of being good, feel safe. From here, the mascot "Saba".
Like all slogans, Forcing the words to give a particular meaning to the phrase.


These are the leaflets can be seen on some other things permitted and forbidden: you do not cross outside crosswalks, no joins when you ride, you have to stop at the stop, must stop before the shots red, etc..
Together there were also some small gadgets.

Mackerel we ate grilled with a sauce of grated daikon and soy sauce. Thanks to the police

The green tomatoes from my garden


My small garden, even today, continues to pay homage to his gifts.
In June, I planted the tomato plants , some buy and other
derived from the seeds of sun-dried tomatoes, which I have arrived from Italy last year, I planted in spring.

plants, though withered, continue to give flowers, but tomatoes are struggling to take on color.
Now I pulled up the leaves and discovered I left tomatoes, in the hope that mature.

But the green tomatoes are indeed numerous. Then, remembering the goodness of persimmon vinegar , I wanted
implement the same procedure for these gifts from my garden, so enjoy them for as long as possible.
Although still green, I picked up the smaller ones, leaving the stem attached.
I've washed and dried.

I've made a mixture with half white wine vinegar and half apple

This time I put the tomatoes in a container of clay and I covered them with wine and vinegar. In two weeks will be
pronti per essere usati.

Questi li ho preparati il mese scorso e stasera ne ho mangiati alcuni in insalata con altre verdure.

Questa strana insalata contiene: kaki, cavolfiore e pomodori verdi tutti sott'aceto, olive verdi e semi dei
pomodoro che ho usato oggi per il sughetto (mi spiaceva buttare i semini, in genere li mangio sul pane) .
Il tutto condito con aceto balsamico, olio, sale e noce moscata.
Sono contenta di non aver fatto sprecare questi pomodori che, causa mancanza di sole, stentano a prendere colore.
Ma, adesso che li ho tirati su, quelli più grandi, man mano, stanno maturando.
Speriamo, altrimenti li annego nell'aceto ^ - °! What are bad *-*!

I had just showed how to make appetizers stuffed with bacon and I filled the molds, and so on, all the work!

The adjustment of fire, how to mix, etc.. hard enough.

Not to mention the problems associated with the filling of the molds, the dough stuck on the spoon and fingers, even though I had said to bathe.

But somehow we managed to complete this easy recipe. One mother said that they will do for them nell'obento daughter.

Too bad there are photos of the preparation of chicken!
From the original recipe is clear that the rabbit to Ischia, but here the rabbits are pets and not eat. For this we used chicken.

Instead there are a lot of eating when you ^ - ^
