Going to the cemetery and pray on All Saints' Day

 Today, and tomorrow, we pray for Saints, and those who passed away.     - Collie

November 1st, 2020    All Saints' Day

A prayer for the Forgotten Dead

O Merciful God, take pity on those souls
who have no particular friends and intercessors
to recommend them to Thee, who, either
through the negligence of those who are alive,
 or through length of time are forgotten
by their friends, families and by all.

Spare them, O Lord, 
and remember Thine Own Mercy,
when others forget to appeal to it.

Let not the souls, which Thou hast created,
be parted from Thee, their Creator.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, 
through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.

Amen.

Hands down the best in Ginza!? Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc @CAFE de GINZA MIYUKI-KAN.

Dear people who visit my blog often, I'd love to present you a charming chestnut cream cake❤︎


Charming, and elegant. I know I can't get you to taste it now actually. Moreover, traveling itself is difficult due to the corona crisis. But if you are interested in visiting Japan sometime in the future, please keep that in your mind, this chestnut cream cake is available at several cafes in Ginza. 


The interior of the cafe is reminiscent of South France. Though I haven't been to South France😓


If you are American, you don't know very much about this kind of chestnut cake, right? It is called "Mont Blanc".  Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc here is said, the most delicious Mont Blanc in Ginza, Tokyo. If you live in Tokyo area, would you like to try it this autumn? 😘


Chestnut cream is made from sweet and fragrant chestnuts grown in Kumamoto-prefecture. Crispy meringue, fresh whipped cream, and layered dense chestnut cream... They are made twice a day to keep the meringue crispy. We are happy about it and thankful to the shop! 
You can see the making proses here. → How to make Mont Blanc at CAFE de GINZA MIYUKI-KAN


You can order meals, too. 


It's also good you enjoy the featured Japanese Chestnut Mont Blanc after the meal as a dessert...if you have a room for it. Heheheh.

Wishing everyone good luck this month of November and all days throughout the year.

 Happy All Saints' Day.  Rose

LUNA/CLIF and KIND bars from Michigan to Tokyo with Love❤︎

 A while ago, I received several American protein bars from Collie. When I was working from home, a package was delivered to me by a postman. Nice timing!😮💚  I was just about to grab some coffee.

in Tokyo

He he he...😋 I don't know which one to choose♪ Chocolate browny...chocolate chip, or....? 

I noticed something written on the card. It is a part of the way he wrote,
"and my love go out to you....."

--

So, I display the postcard in my room. 

in Michigan

Collie purchased by carton and was eating bars for a while. Unfortunately, some dark chocolate seemed to develop his headache. So I asked him to send them to me. It costed him pretty much...(××)

Thank you😊  I will eat each one slowly and feel the taste of it. 

Just like you -
My best wishes, my prayers, and my love go out to you.....    Always, Rose
