The warmer weather is finally approaching in Paris! This video is a vlog of the new this and that that we have started to do to welcome spring. The first thing I did was something indispensable (?) for Japanese people living in Paris: sowing seeds of Japanese herbs such as Shiso and Mitsuba. This year, I also planted new herb seeds and tomato seedlings. We are looking forward to the day when they sprout.
We are so busy these days that we tend to eat out more and more, and when that happens, fruits and other ingredients tend to get overripe or bad. But even fruits that are too ripe to taste good raw are often fine when cooked. If you make a simple fruit compote, not a jam, by mixing apples, pears and various other fruits available at the time, you can enjoy it with yoghurt or as a topping for ice cream.
And one thing I'm really into at the moment is composting, which you can do on your balcony. It reduces the amount of waste and makes daily life more comfortable. And of course, it's great for the environment too!
We also filmed how to make sauerkraut and how to use old sauerkraut to make dinner.
I feel that by reducing waste, clearing out the old and bringing in the new, we can create a pleasant lifestyle.
