毎年1つ2つ賞やプロポの審査を依頼されます。私ごときがと思いつつ、作品を見てみたいという興味で、昨日も一つ引き受けてしまいました。単発のもの、継続のもの合わせて今年は4つ。それぞれとても興味深いけど、責任も重く時間もかかりヒーヒー言っております。

週末の朝のスーパーには半額品が並んでいる。椎茸ととうもろこしと鰹の刺身を購入。椎茸はバターで炒め、とうもろこしは3分チンして味噌と酒と和えてから椎茸のフライパンに放り込んで醤油を少し垂らす。鰹は少し炙ってしょうがとみょうがと大葉を山のようにのせてポン酢でいただく。これで500円。半額品ありがたい。
Weekend morning supermarkets are lined with half-price items. I bought shiitake mushrooms, corn and bonito sashimi. Stir-fry the shiitake mushrooms in butter, put the corn in the microwave oven for 3 minutes, mix with miso and sake, and then throw them into the shiitake mushroom frying pan and drizzle a little soy sauce. The bonito is lightly toasted, and ginger, myoga, and perilla are placed in a mountain and served with ponzu sauce. This is 500 yen. Thanks for the half-price item.
