White is the color of snow, which means purity and innocence. Green is the color of the leaves, young leaves means the life force. Diamond represents the female genitalia. Unfortunately, I have never seen such things in shape.bigsmile

Ate raw oysters. I got a raw oyster with a shell from a friend. It is my favorite. When I was living abroad, "I love raw oysters," and was treated rather eccentric. In other countries, there are people who like to eat as stimulants were often misunderstood. Oysters are in season from spring to autumn. Month breeding season from May to August is unfit for human consumption. Shellfish, there is a risk I will not take the necessary heating and food poisoning. But I love the taste of this rich sea.

Recycling carrot ===Few weeks===

,

Not seen for some time between now so big. Have been interested in whether the return to carrot.

Google maps

Recently, work has been walking for health. 4km the road trip I was proud to be the shortest distance. Route on foot in search of the Google Maps. My confidence collapsed. Lived here 10 years. Through the streets and people's backyard, and there is a large piece of slate bridge, did not even imagine. I applaud Google Maps.

Recycling carrot

Since the tip of carrots left over, I put the water. Three days later, I got the ingredients for life beef stew yesterday. Once warm, I would try to return to the soil.

WaterJet

WaterJet Cutter

Will it be knowing of the water jet cutter? It emits a jet of water from the hole of about 1mm by the pressure of about 300MPa, and it is the power of the cut from a soft potato like bread to a hard metal like iron.

Development started from it in Japan after a delay of 20 years though development had started in the United States since the 1950's. The rescue team rescues in Japan with a water cutter due to the car accident with the danger of the ignition, and, in general, it is known. It is used as a cutoff device for food though this device is chiefly used to cut the metal and ore. Still, it is not a device generally used in the food industry.

However, the WatterJet Cutter is effective for cutting cut a difficult, soft food and frozen food.

Cutting bread and the japanese-style confection collapses in a too soft, existing cutting method. Moreover, there is something that puts the fruit internally in the japanese-style confection and doesn't understand from the outside. The additional value can be raised to such a japanese-style confection by showing beautiful the cutting plane by cutting it with WaterJet Cutting.

When hard food such as the frozen foods is cut, the blade of the metal is used. In this case, a detailed metal powder remains in the cutting plane. Such a metal doesn't remain for the waterJet Cutter.

I think that it is a machine that should be going to spread it for the hygiene side of the food production and the evasion of the risk in the future though it is a high machine the amount of money.
