My father wanted to eat meat after having fish and seafood for several days in a row. I decided to challenge myself by making roast beef using meat from Hanamasa that I purchased the day before. Instead of using a rice cooker like I usually do, I took my time to prepare it without using the rice cooker this time. I added a little black beer as a secret ingredient. The remaining portion was enjoyed by me. The sauce included plenty of onions, as well as a little ginger and garlic for boosting the immune system. It turned out moist and tender, and surprisingly well-made for my first attempt! We enjoyed it with the red wine my father brought. The next morning, I made roast beef sandwiches with bread and enjoyed it with a fizzy drink. It made me feel a little luxurious even in the morning. I had a happy time spending quality time with my parents. Now, I wonder what I should make today.

I bought 10 packs of condensed milk dispensers for only 10 yen each at the Hanamasa Akasaka store near my house, which I have loved since I was a child. When I got home, I realized I could use them for bread and coffee, so I went back and bought an additional 60 packs in my jersey and sandals. Laughing out loud!
