on my birthday - 誕生日によせて 2
誕生日はどんな風に過ごしたい？
どこのレストランに行こうか？
と、誕生日の朝のボーイフレンド。
how would you like to spend today?
which restaurant should I take you to?
my boy firend asked me on my birthday morning.
バースデーディナーは手作りじゃなくちゃやだ
といった。
I wanna YOU to cook a birthday dinner for me!
I said.
過剰防衛反応が働いてか、異常にパニクるボーイフレンド。
既に腰がひけてしまっちょる。私は、イタリア料理のレシピブックをばさりと手渡して、私と暮らして１年も経つのに、ワンパタンで、全然レパートリを増やさないからいざというときに困るのよ。と突き放した。
did he try to avoid putting himself into an awkward position?? he was completely freaked out. he was not keen at all on the idea. why not?
mercilessly I just passed an Italian recipe book onto him. I turned around and said to him "you have been living with me for more than a year. you haven't expanded his repartoire very much except a pasta dish". tough. i wanted him to cook!!
ワナワナ、おろおろしながら、それでも必死にショッピングリストを台所でメモりはじめるボーイフレンド。
then he got nervous..yet started making a shopping list in the kitchen.
グッドラック♪ good luck!
で、会社を早めに抜け出すつもりが、間を外したらしく、泣きそうな顔をして８時後頃家にスーパーの袋を下げて帰って来た。フリークアウトしてて、神経が逆立ってる。
his attempt was getting out of work fairly early but failed. he came home with a big supermarket bag at late night. he looked like as if almost bursting into tears. completely freaked out, going on and on how much he hated cooking and how long he survived perfectly OK without the hassle. cooking!
顔の表情もいつになく険しい。
he looked very uncertain.
朝３時半に起きて（時差ぼけ）、８時から中国語の学校にいって、１日中いそがしく働いて、買い物に行かされて、なんで俺が夜の８時から苦手な料理をせなあかんのよと、超ネガティブモード。
he went on about his hard day...got up at 03:30am (due to the jet lag), took two hour chinese lesson at 08:00am, worked hard all day, went to a supermarket to shop the ingredients, then had to start cooking at 08:00pm.
Hey be positive, Man!
要領を得てないから手際はいまいちにせよ（だから時間も倍かかる）、ちゃんとできたんよ。上等上等。私はシャワールームでハミング♪バースデーガールは偉いんだいっ！シャワーから出たら、テーブルもちゃんとセットされてた。
He was not used to prepare food therefore took ages . however, look! he was capable to cook. not too bad at all.
I started hamming in the shower room. this is the privilege of being a birthday girl. any objection????
when I finished my shower the table was set!
スタータはなぜかミクシングボールの中に入ったまま。
ちなみにこれはサラダでして、、、。レタス、ひよこ豆、アーティチョーク、ツナの缶詰、トマト、レッドオニオン、オリーブ、チリペッパー、パプリカ、セロリなどがバルサミコビネガーとレモンとオリーブオイルであえてある。
I didn't know why..but the starter remained in a mixing bowel. never mind.
this is a kind of salad called "arugula, tuna and navy bean salad".
メインディッシュはベジタブルフリタータ。
なかなか奇麗な仕上がりに本人も達成感を感じたよう。
the main dish was vegetable frittata. he seemed to feel kind of achievement when he put the pan out of the oven.
ほな、いただきま～す♪
cavaと一緒にね。
bonn appetite!
(with a bottle of cava of course)
出来映えだけど、
地中海地方でよくありがちな、外国人狙いのいんちきイタ飯店のイタ飯のようで、どこか懐かしかった。C級グルメといったところか。。。
はい、ほめてるんです。レストランで出て来てもおかしくないってことで。
the outcome was not too bad. they tasted like kind of dishes I have had at down to earth Italian Restaurants in Med for tourists. so I recalled Med Islands. this is my compliment. I mean they could be served at this kind of restaurant!
