After dinner, I decided to switch things up and baked a pound cake for the first time. This time, I mixed in some chocolate sauce too. It turned out delicious, paired perfectly with 「Hot Apple Tea」and had just the right sweetness—not too sweet.

　After enjoying the cake and tea, I relaxed mind and body with some leisurely reading. Lately, I’ve been finding relaxation through novels more often. My recommendations are the following two books:

・「Nanj, hoshi no gotoku」

・「Uchouten Kazoku」

　「Nanj, hoshi no gotoku」 is a romance novel, while 「Uchouten Kazoku」is a comedy fantasy. I love the stories and the emotional depth of the characters in both. They’re truly moving tales, so please give them a read!! Highly recommended!

　Today was another day filled with gratitude.
