水難の相、のち笑顔 – Smile after water trouble

引っ越し先のシンクが水漏れ。
ようやくシステムキッチン取り替え工事の日を迎えた

と思ったら、
それ、「シンクの位置違いますけど?」と

このワタシ自身から指摘するハメに。
バラバラに解体されたパーツを再度組立て、

また翌週の土曜日早朝に改めての工事と、相成りました。。。

思い返せば、初めて一人暮らしをした新築マンションでは、
水道管施工ミスで下の部屋に水漏れという事件があったなー、と。
ま、今回は部屋の床を全部剥がすわけではないから、いいかー、と
やけに馴れ馴れしい水道屋さんのうちのひとりに苦笑しつつ

遠い目になっていたら、友人より励ましのメール。
お土産で仙台の名産品を買ってきてくれました。
ありがとう♡
こんな、肉厚でふんわり、みっちり、

しっとりした美味しい笹かまぼこは食べたことはございませぬ!
昔ながらの製法で作られて、

防腐剤やつなぎなど、一切入っていません。

笹かま館まで、あるなんて!!

仙台を訪れることがあったら、
是非、この夢の国へ行ってみたいものです。
SURIMI(=カニカマ)に夢中の諸外国の皆様、

笹カマもとてもおいしーですよ!
初“ずんだ生ジャム”も、食すのが楽しみ。

It’s a long story until my kitchen was nicely done out - it turned out there was a water leakage in the kitchen sink on the very first day at my new apartment and 3 cabinets for the system kitchen had to be replaced.

3 weeks later, on an early Saturday morning, 2 plumbers came at last. I cannot believe this but I was the one who pointed out the sink & cabinets were wrong. Well, it was obvious the sink they brought could not receive any water down from the taps & fixture water supply pipes. So they came again next Saturday morning. I dare not count how many hours on lovely weekends were wasted but try to think I am lucky because I have a new & clean system kitchen NOW, anyway.

To put an annoying over-familiar plumber away, I chatted with my friend by iPhone and she cheered me up in spite of vacation in her hometown.

She brought back local lasting souvenirs, excellent Sasa-Kamaboko(bamboo-leaf-shaped boiled fish paste) & jam, which are produced there.
The most tasty Sasa-Kama I have ever had!
No artificial ingredients nor starch as a thickening but fish meat & natural seasonings only, produced by traditional way from the old days.
They even have a Sasa-Kama museum in their modern factory now – the place I want to visit when I have a chance to go to Sendai.
SURIMI (Kani-Kamaboko) are popular in abroad now but, they should also try Sasa-Kama!

Kamaboko means Japanese fish sausage(s).
