It's too good to be called a rose one. It's absolutely delicious. I'm cooking the bell peppers a little bit slowly. It's crispy. Is it? My vegetables are so good. Yeah. You have the best sense of taste. That's right. I cooked it as it is. This is good. The taste of the bean sprouts comes out. Yeah. You like it, don't you? And it's delicious. The texture is amazing. It's delicious. It's just right. I thought it would be good to cool it down. I made about two more. It's a basic terawiya. Speaking of udon, it was served for lunch in spring. Yeah. It's delicious to eat everything with a spoon. Yeah. This is a good raw fish. It's a good raw fish. This is delicious. The bean sprouts are delicious. That's right. I can't stop eating as it is. This salad is really delicious. Octopus is delicious. Do you like octopus? It's perfect. It's perfect, isn't it? Bean sprouts and tuna go well together. I think so. It's really delicious. It's delicious, isn't it? Bean sprouts are too delicious. It's too delicious. Is it a dressing? I made it without thinking about anything today. Because I baked two. It's a mass consumption. I've been saying that all the time. I've been thinking about making bean sprouts. But I can't make it. I've never made bean sprouts at home. Bean sprouts and pumpkin go well together. You can't make bean sprouts. I'll make it next time. You'd better make it. I don't know. I don't think you can do that. There is a possibility that it will be a big failure. I'm going to make fried bean sprouts again. I've been addicted to it lately. You can eat a lot, can't you? It's too delicious to make fried bean sprouts. It's really delicious. Actually, it's been improved little by little. There's oyster sauce in it today. My grandmother used to buy me somen kabocha because she thought I liked it. I thought I'd get a pumpkin-flavored somen. I was wondering what kind of delicious food would come out. It's like a somen-like pumpkin. I remember being disappointed at that time. I think so, too. You're upstairs today, aren't you? Yeah. It's on the second floor. It's on top of the case where I put my documents. It's very narrow. It's too thick, isn't it? I can't keep up with it. It's delicious. It's spicy, isn't it? It's really delicious. It was green curry last year, wasn't it? I'm going to use red chili peppers this year. Good morning. I got on the chair. That's nice. It's cute. It's good for the person sitting there. I'll change my seat next time. But I can't get on my knees. If you change your seat, you can check if you can get on your opposite knee. You can check if you can get on your opposite knee. That's right. I used to sit there when I sat down last time. You can get off your knees like this. That's not true.
