Hi, everyone!
Sunflower, thank you for your advice of vitamins.
I already felt 'natsubate', or summer fatigue.
Our family don't like some vegetables, such as tomato, eggplant, and green pepper,
so called 'natsu yasai.'( I like them very much.)
But when I read your comment, I decided to cook those in our meal.
Then, I got a roux of ' white curry in Hokkaido' for the first time, and
tried it with those begetables.
At first my husband and kids took a fearful look at it,
but when they ate it in one, said "well, it's tastey!"
Though I don't like cooking, thanks to this roux, I could cook a sort of, Thailand-style curry.
Those spicy and creamy flavor made us really eneregetic.
So, see you, and good night!

Hi, everyone!!!
How are you doing? Are you doing well?
I’m doing OK, although I really miss Japan.
I greatly appreciate your interest in feminist theory. Not many people are interested in it, but I do like to talk about it.
Could I write about some of the feminist developments in England after the arguments by MW and HT? I hope you don’t mind.
As you are well aware, MW emphasized the importance of education for women and HT insisted the necessity of profession or paid work for women, in order to liberate female human beings from male control over them.
But many feminists realized that education and profession were not good enough for their purpose, and then they began to demand women’s political influence to get freedom from male oppression, suppression and domination. Now they commenced a wide-spread campaign for votes for women in the early 19th century. But before that, many women began to discuss their strong beliefs in the need for the vote. One of the influential women in the early stage of this argument is Josephine Butler. Would you please go to the site listed below and learn about her? She is an incredibly wonderful and amazing person.

Isn’t it interesting to know about feminist theory?
I hope you are well and fine, and enjoying yourselves despite the crazy heat in late summer in Japan. Eat a lot of vegetables and be happy, my dear friends. Goodnight…
Dear Cherry and friends,
My favorite writer is Jhumpa Lahiri, a beautiful Indian American woman. She is a Pulitzer Prize winner. In her novels, some women cook curry. These are Indian women who immigrated to the US. They take time to cut various vegetables. I imagine a mountain of vegetables and spices. They look down on them for long hours and keep cutting a lot of vegetables spreading them on the ground as if they are obsessed to do it. I don't know whether the author intends or not, but the time to cut vegetables emphasizes Indian women's oppressed status.
If the writer doesn't intend to express women's oppression, she describes the complicated sentiments of immigrants finely. A woman looking down on the ground all the time implies that she has not adapted herself to the new environment yet and she has never felt comfortable in the foreign country. The more difficult she feels to get accustomed to the new culture, the more tightly she clings to the old culture.
How do you feel and what do you think when you cook?
Plum, thank you for sincere messages. I will catch up with the topics you are raising and follow your instructions as much as possible. I'm still reading Engels. Sorry for being a slow reader.
Please take care.

After checking wikipedia, I found a mistake. I read only her short stories, not novels. In fact, she wrote few novels.
