a boy in a box
Today we received this boy in a box.
Where is the instruction manual?
What is the exchange policy?
He is the keeper though!

Today was really warm and beautiful day,

miso making
We wanted to try this for a long time,
but we finally made our homemade miso!
- miso making process -
1) soak soy beans in water overnight - they will be abut doubled in size
2) cook soy beans in water until they are soft enough
to smash easily with your fingers
3) grind them when they are hot
like this much
4) while the soy beans are still hot,
mix them with koji and sea salt
with your hands...
hot! hot!
5) prepare the miso container - wash, sterilize, and put salt on the bottom
6) make balls with miso and throw them into the container
so that you won't put lots of air into miso.
7) once you put all miso in to the container,
put some salt and a red pepper on the top
8) cover the top surface, and put a weight on the top
- the weight should be about as heavy as the miso
9) keep the container in cool and dark space for 6 months or so.
We cannot wait to eat miso soups with handmade miso!
daddy daycare
While mamas were making miso
(and mostly chit-chatting...),
Aaron and Silas were killing it to operate the daddy daycare...

after party...
at 4 am...
at the Timberline lodge (with no soundproof walls)...
Milo decided to have an after party!
If Milo starts to have a party in the middle of night,
as his parents, we are supposed to convince Milo to go back to sleep,
but most of the time,
he was so cute that we could not stop Milo from having fun...
This time, Milo had a party in the bathroom!!!
Hey Milo, it was too much...
