Dinner with candles / 灯りのごちそう
Thinking of what I can do for the suffering people for now, this is still the best way to save electricity. In Minato-ku, there is no planned outage, but the people are positive to do it.
I used candles with my favorite candle holders(or 'Haidai' sake cup holders) for dinner this evening. I don't have time to enjoy candle-dinner normally, but found it is very nice to spend relaxed time with the candle light. Moreover, the regular dinner looks gorgeous:)
Please try it... the warm light will make your dinner time more happy.
今小さなことでも出来る事・・・節電。 どこでも今積極的に取り組んでいますよね。 すごく良いことだと思います。計画停電はさておき、23区内の今の状況は本来これで足りるのだったらずっとこのままでもいいのではないかな、と考えさせられます。
今日は電気を消して蝋燭の灯りで夕食を。お気に入りの染付の盃台をキャンドルホルダーにして。 これくらいの大きさなら大げさでなく気軽に楽しめます。
いつもは忙しく料理をしてそんな余裕はありませんが、意外といいものですね。たいした節電にはならないと思いますが、ちょっとした気持ちの転換でこんな時間を楽しむのも良いかもしれません。 普通のお惣菜も豪華に見せてくれますよ
Hey, we are back in Tokyo tonight and as I read your post, we are sitting with only candle light. We light candles every night, but we switched off the lights for Earth Hour tonight and it is a special ambiance. Outside it is darker than I remember before leaving for Osaka, a good thing in these sad times, when our neighbours in the north need our help and support. Take care and hope to see you soon!
