“Time flies like an arrow.”

This proverb is so true when we get older.

When I was small, the time passed too slowly.

I had to wait for ages for the summer to come and my next birthday to arrive.

But now, I often utter to myself, “It’s already summer again ?”,  “My birthday is coming again!”.

 

I know that is something natural.

That is the course of our lives.

In the other word, it is the order of the nature.

When we are born on this earth, our journey to the other side of the world is also starting. 

They are on one line.

Our individual life is an eternal line.

We just walk on what is given to us without being afraid of what is going to happen in the future. 

The important thing is that we live this moment utmost, with dignity without succumbing to any forms of oppression.

When the season shifts to the autumn, my mind tends to be sentimental. 

I’m sure some of you feel same way when you hear the music played by the insects at night.

Today’s recipe is something that cheers me up during this season.

It is “Fig with Creamy Tofu Cheese”.

 

The fig tree that I planted its sapling five years ago finally bore two fruits this year for the first time, after having gone through the unusual growth.  Believe it or not, first three years, it grew to the certain height, but it disappeared (totally out of site) in the winter, and sprouted again in the spring, grew faster and faster each year.  But it did not disappear last winter, kept growing since then, and became a stout tree that can bear the fruit.

Unfortunately or fortunately, one morning, I found that those pieces of the fig disappeared.  I presumed they entertained the birds first.

The fresh fig is available only for a few weeks in Japan.

Whenever I open the fig and look at the ruby color flesh which springs out the milky liquid to the surface, I am filled with the funny sensation, a kind of secretive or sensual feeling.

I don’t know why but I feel guilty to eat it.

But the moment I put it into my mouth, that feeling flew away and I feel contented.

The combination of the fig and tofu cheese is superb.  

The sweetness of the fig and the saltiness of cheese compensate each other, and they create the new stunning taste and satisfaction.

Don’t miss this scrumptious food while the fresh figs are available.
