May Cooking
Today in cooking we made a Scottish sweet called macaroons. Maybe many of you know the French macaroon made from meringue, but these are a pastry made with almond powder. Inside there is a spongy almond center with jam inside. We made two types, one with a pastry lid and the other with a cherry on top.

Today with the sign language circle we made some Japanese cloth slippers. They were so fun to make and even though it took a lot of concentration, it was certainly worth it. I have been wearing them around the house and they are so comfortable.

Day Trip
All the staff from Zenrinkan had our annual day trip today. We all met at Hachimangu shrine and were lead around a selection of local temples and places of interest by Ms Murai. We learnt many interesting facts and saw some little hidden away places, before filling up our water bottles at a local spring.

May Corn Dolly
Over two sessions, the corn dolly class members completed their most difficult project so far. They made praying angels. The dress is a very difficult technique, but all the students managed it without too many problems.
In the first two hour session, they made the wings, arms and head. Then they spent the second two hours making the dress.
