Tutti-Fruiti musikahan

music is FUN.♬♫🎝

last night, we had a spontaneous game - sing a song about fruits!

i started with Mulan's 🟠"Loquat me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter... Can it be..." HAHAHA. #BomJokes.

M was quick to sing Ryan Cayabyab's/Smokey Mountain's "The Coconut Nut". Very good, shobe.

Z clued in with the question what's that watermelon song, M? And M started singing 🍉"Watermelon sugar high"... I asked if it's by Dua Lipa (trying to stay relevant). To which she said so matter-of-factly, "No! Harry Styles." Ah. me stuck in the 80s.

papa? "No idea," he said. "Apples, pear, peach... Hmm, peach!" Then he played Ai Otsuka's Peach from "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" 🍑 🍑 🍑 ayieee, kilig. T3 was hopping up and down, dancing to this tune.

Z asked if there's a song about Jesus about apple of His eyes? 🍏 Hmmm. I was sure there's quite a few, but nothing came to mind yet.

Z clued in again.. about some cherry song 🌸...This one i was pretty confident. High-pitched, i sang "Cheeeeee-rry! Cherry, baby!..." and they looked at me blankly 🙄 (only to realize today that it was actually "Sherry" 🍷 from Four Seasons. LOL. 60s. I should start playin dad and mom's fave 60s over at Spotify).

M started Googling and said, oh there's a strawberry fields song 🍓...and so I played from YouTube for them Beatles' Strawberry Fields forevah. That started a series of questions from the girls about the Beatles ("Who's still alive?" etc).

just a short-lived game, to flow with the kids short attention span.⏰ we should have a burst sequel of this next time, hopefully with a better repertoire.😛

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

Always, all i end up buying at the grocery is the same packed frozen suchi fish.. and i h...
