The theme for this week is "Things I Used to Dislike" - alcohol.
I've never really liked anything with alcohol in it since my student days, whether it's beer or shochu at social gatherings. In my family, my husband and our twenty-something daughter often enjoy beer together, while I'm left out.
However, recently I've had opportunities to enjoy a small aperitif served at hot spring inns. It's just a small amount, but I find myself reaching for those beautifully presented fruit liqueurs in tiny, elegant glasses 🍸. It's the small glass in the foreground on the right.
Lately, I've started to change a bit. My husband always keeps wine in the house now. Before bed, I take out some cheese 🧀 from the refrigerator. I pour a little red wine into a wine glass 🍷
- a slightly larger one I bought in the United States.
It's a nice, relaxing time when I can have a drink by myself. At this age (I'll be sixty next year), taking care of others and being considerate of their needs seems natural, although I still have a long way to go in that regard 💦. So, I think it's important to cherish the time when you can be free from those responsibilities.
It's been a while since I participated in this week's theme. Thank you for visiting my blog.
