relaxmaxは10代の頃より、Frenchのキッチンに立つ。
Creprie et Cafe SET and SITはブリュターニュ地方の郷土料理を出すお店。そこでデセール作ったり、ガレット焼いたりしてた。ちょっとしたビストロ料理なんかもあったりするような、女の子達がポティロンのパフェやりんごばくだんに並ぶようなお店^_^。大阪で1番古い老舗ビブブルマンビストロの姉妹店でもある。中国茶や台湾茶、チャイや紅茶を出すお店でも働いていたrelaxmax。アジアン系全般！グリーンカレーとかナシゴレン作ったりしながら^_^。結婚してイギリスブリストルに住んでた時にもバンクシーの壁の近くの60年代からある老舗カフェとかレストランで働いていたrelaxmax奥さん^_^。
フォトグラファーとして、アーティストとして活動していたんだけど、ある時！もうちょっとキッチンやりたいな！って思ってビブブルマンイタリアンで前菜とドルチェの盛り付け担当やったりしてたら、、、コロナ！しばらくは飲食で働くことはひかえてたけど、、、そしたら抗生物質副作用で！鍋の蓋が重いとか！ジャガイモの皮が剥けない！とか。
アラン・ドュカスさんは飛行機事故で1人だけ生き残り、1年の入院ののち3つ星をとったという。
私もがんばろ！治そ！って、、、いいかんじに治ってきたな^_^ってムッシュDIORで働いたら、初日の数時間で熱中症脱水症状重症化心不全で、、、今は近所のスーパー徒歩2分の距離歩けるかんじ、家のキッチンでは1時間ぐらい動けるかな？
そういや2014年にアメリカ人のカウチサーファーの男の子に(彼はフロムNY、お姉さんか妹はモデルさんin Paris 結局その後京都に住んだのかな？)オーディネールのモンブランを買って行ってあげようと思ったら「定休日」！だった。。。(他のお店のケーキ、大人買いでモンブラン2つとかそういや食べた^_^)
For 4 servings Main ingredients (Villeroy sauce)
250 ml (1 cup) red Port
750 ml (3 cups) cream
100 g (3 1/2 oz.) foie gras, cooked and puréed
8 sheets of gelatin
fine salt and freshly ground pepper
Finishing ingredients
100 g (3 1/2 oz.) foie gras, in 1 cm cubes
20 g (2/3 oz.) chopped truffles
Breading ingredients
50 g (1/2 cup) flour
3 whole eggs, beaten
200 g (7 oz.) fine bread crumbs
Frying ingredients
750 ml (3 cups) oil
Method
The day before
Place half the Port in a saucepan over high heat and reduce by half. Add the rest of the Port and reduce by half again.
Add the cream and bring to a simmer over low heat.
Meanwhile, soak the gelatin leaves in a bowl of cold water for 4-5 minutes until softened, then drain well.
Once the cream has come to a simmer, transfer to a dish and whisk in the puréed foie gras and softened gelatin.
Correct the seasoning and set aside in the refrigerator.
Prepare a shallow pan about 15 x 20 cm (6 x 8″), line with plastic wrap, following the shape of the pan. Fill with half the Villeroy sauce to a depth of 5 mm (1/4″). Refrigerate for about 20 minutes until lightly set.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and sprinkle with the chopped truffles and cubes of foie gras. Refrigerate until the next day.
The day of serving
Turn the pan with the sauce (now quite firm) out onto a board.
Using a knife whose blade has been warmed in hot water, cut into 1.5 cm (1/2″ cubes). These are the cromesquis.
Roll the cubes in flour to coat well – shake the excess off lightly, and drip into beaten egg. Drain and roll in the bread crumbs. Repeat to obtain a double breading.
Refrigerate until serving time.
At the last minute
Heat the oil in a pan over high heat.
Meanwhile, remove the cromesquis from the refrigerator and roll again in fine bread crumbs.
Once the oil is hot, drop the cromesquis, two at a time, into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes.
Drain on a cloth or paper towel and keep warm on the oven door.
Fold napkins into a wallet shape, place the cromesquis inside and serve immediately.
(塩とガーリックか、、、作り方もいろいろ^_^)
Begin by finely mincing the garlic cloves and crushing them with the salt using a mortar and pestle until you achieve a smooth paste.
Transfer the garlic paste to a bowl and add the egg yolk. Whisk together until well combined.
Now comes the crucial part – slowly drizzle the olive oil in a very thin, steady stream while continuously whisking. This gradual process creates the emulsion that gives alioli its characteristic creamy texture.
Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick, add the lemon juice and white pepper (if using). Whisk until fully combined.
-
こっちはフレンチ(らしい)
Measure out 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Season the egg yolk: Into the bowl, add 1 large egg yolk. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Use a microplane or the small side of a box grater to grate 2 garlic cloves into the bowl.
Emulsify: Whisk the egg yolk mixture briefly to combine. Add olive oil a few drops at a time while whisking continuously. As the aioli begins to emulsify into the egg yolk, increase the oil to a steady, but very thin, stream as you whisk continuously. Going slow here is key to prevent the emulsion from breaking.
Add the lemon juice: When all of the oil has been added, whisk to fully incorporate. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and whisk briskly to combine
What is ignorant Bristolian? (…They knew but they didn’t do anything so… maybe maybe they just ignored what “they knew”… so it’s really not IGNORANCE. Why? …coz NON BLACK LIFE don’t matter? Injection? Sinners? (Every cop in Kyoto?)… What do you think? Do you think “They” are really IGNORANT?
…or who are “They”? me and you?
-
Pope said (he has passed away), about AI and education, AI could teach “NOT CORRECT” things! (For SOME, “They” select who to show not correct answers… Pope warned! Did you know?…and “THEY” say “who is really IGNORANT?”.)
Do you know what is “IGNORANT and IGNORANCE”? Dictionary (but Fake books in the library already? Or Burned?) Books not on the NET?
…and Sinners “WANT TO SAY”… who is really “IGNORANT”?
(…so some Japanese don’t have “Paper” dictionary? Already stolen? Left Fake books? (Broke in?) and Hackers already attacked lyrics and YouTube and … Spotify?)
Do you know?
What “They” really “heard” and “saw”? (And what “she” heard and saw… are they really same music? Same quality ones?)
“They” could show something wrong? Not good quality music? Not right lyrics on the net? REAL CD is already stolen?
PM of Belize came to Osaka last year for EXPO2025.
In Belize
On noname island
On the side of black boy’s second boat…
“SOMALIAN”
I was wondering…why
but,
( “Perfect view from the window” in NY ICP or UWE library in Bristol)
(Not in Osaka! :)
Black and Slave trade
Belize and the UK (the reason why they speak in English not in Spanish)
Why
“SOMALIAN” (in English) (on the side of the boat)
in Belize?
I was living in Bristol
in Council flat
in Easton! where Banksy was living! (I was shooting his early works in Bristol in 2002!
I got married and started to take photo of Graffiti.)
My husband is disabled (why they don’t pay me? WHITE!)
They didn’t pay (female photographer, her husband is disabled, I don’t want to write about it but…)
The council flat in Easton was full of SOMALIAN. (Me, I was only Japanese!, most of them are Black Somalians and the (white?) guy (who has mental disorder) and the white lady (who has some kind of mental illness)… when I look back the days in Bristol Easton Council flat,
I remember
Pastime Paradise by Stevie Wonder
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
(THEYって誰だろう？
奴隷貿易やってたイギリス！
英国人(ロブさん！)relaxmax に払わない！(こういうの書いてて誰か「大人！」読んでたら本人に言ってあげないの？「病気のお母さんいる娘さんのお仕事に払うレーベル(メジャーは払うぞ！)とお仕事したら？」って！)
They’ve been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
What is ignorance?
(Why none can’t change the world? I mean…why “THEY” can keep “not paying, racism!” kind of world?
In 2002, I took photo of BANKSY EASTON “it’s all gone now” (and someone sell my print “as his art”.
Why “THEY” didn’t stop him and tell him? Do you know who “he” is!? Banksy’s friend??? Santa’s ghetto? If you find “this book=”PERFECT VIEW FROM THE WINDOW” at KYOTOGRAPHIE PHOTOBOOK FAIR” you might read this… (letter?)^_^
“It’s not allowed to sell relaxmax’s art saying “this is my(L’s) art”!!!!
relaxmax’s marriage life! Her husband is disabled! She lived in council flat in Easton. Her husband is art support teacher at Filton College. Don’t sell Teacher’s wife’s (relaxmax) art saying this is “L’s art (lie!)”!!!!
(J used to be an art support teacher for People with special needs at Filton College!)
-
WHO are they? (Do you know? If you are interested… pls use “AUTO TRANSLATE!” I wrote in Japanese about ignorance haha!)
Dispensation (社会のシステム？神の恵み？)
Isolation
Exploitation (世界に搾取というものがなければ！「そんな英語=えくすぷろいっとめんと」覚えなくていいのに)
Mutilation 不具、、、(旦那さんをそう呼ぶかな？生まれつきの「身体」！私もかけたなにかはある)
Mutations (社会における変異ってなんだろう？隔離？)
ハッカーがネットをアタックする？
そしてイランではネット使えないの？
Miscreation (、、、奇形？それより)「KGが写真祭としてみすくりえいと？」したものってなんだろう？
YOU and ME?
Confirmation…to the evils of the world この偽本を「KGのブックフェアで見つけた人」は、、、confirmできた？
I was listening to hiphop when I was a high school student (ATCQ dígable planets..but WU-TANG (I haven’t listened to ) I was listening to KASSA’s C.R.E.A.M… and listened to original (PV!)
It reminds me of…ah kinda thug life in Easton Council flat!

日本の90年代の高校生
世界史は選択制だった(今は？)
しかも！
奴隷海岸は
教えてなかった。。。
We (Japanese high school students in the 90s) learned about “Age of Discovery” but not all student, some chose to learn Japanese history (not world history). So they may not know about “Slave trade” or “Slave coast”.
Where is Slave Coast?
( Do you know? 京都の高校生は知ってる？イマドキはネットでぐぐると、、、？写真祭のお客さんは？ブックフェアにくる人は知ってる？)
When British arrived, apparently they found the mahogany grew abundantly in Belize, which were used for high-end furniture, and they made profit from selling them. British themselves didn’t cut mahogany, they brought slaves from Africa. As a result, there are quite a few Black in Belize. Their ancestors were brought from Africa (some are SOMALIAN) by British around that time. (Auto translate from NOTE)
−
連れてこられたソマリアンは
ベリーズで！
マホガニー切ってた！
Somalians had to cut Mahogany in Belize.
I don’t know if they knew where they were going..(British took them to Belize!? from Africa!)
I found the page on the web (Asahi / Japanese newspaper)
SOMALIA = Plantation (not slave trade) on the map… but SOMALIAN was there! as slave cutting Mahogany! so it says “SOMALIAN” on the black boy’s second boat…?!
I asked Sam (my husband’s friend, he is a cyclist living in Easton) why many Somalians lived here (in council flat)?
Sam said “because of slave trade” (prob he didn’t know about plantation in Somalia?)
In the 1990s, Somalians came to the U.K. as asylum seekers?
… and “this vintage table” made of mahogany?
I don’t know much about…
When? or
I just know it’s quite old one.
Antique?
(My ancestors?
Somalian old men?
Cutting mahogany in Caribbean and.. this table is here?)
“The window” (photobook? Where is Belize? It didn’t say the name of the country, secret?…somewhere on the Caribbean)
Library in Bristol, UWE? Do they still have it? (The Earth is not dead yet in 2080 in the novel, Bristol is not 123.8F (51C) but quite hot EARTH…Mecca?)
You know Oxfam?
They sell “FAIR TRADE chocolate” but…
(Where? Oxfam? What is Fair Trade?)
So this chocolate is… (not FAIR TRADE one, just from TESCO or somewhere?)
and THIS MAHOGANY DESK is…(not FAIR TRADE one?)
…and “THIS CD : GOOD ENERGY RSD” released in 2009? Punchdrunk? 4080 Label? Bristol? Smith? Rob Smith Dub?
“Is this CD NOT FAIR TRADE?”
Coz
It’s not Black (she is Japanese, Asian)
It’s not Somalian cutting Mahogany (she took photo, she designed)
Sugar cane? (It was not FAIR TRADE? TEA? SUGAR? “West India sugar boycott”)
Is there social movement in London?(not in Bristol?)
So BRISTOLIAN didn’t know about social movement in London (or Sugar cane is NOT CD?)…THEY IGNORANT?
Who are they?
THEY made relaxmax SLAVE?
They made relaxmax slave and made CD in 2009? People were dancing? DUBSTEP? At Glastonbury fes or… were they really ignorant? or just NOT HUMAN? (humanity?)
(The BLACK Somalian boy tried to listen to CD, released in 2009 Bristol, old one, 79 years ago?)
-
To keep them in control was not difficult.
Controlled dance, (not knowing what kind of slave trade “THEY” did)
Dance till your death.
Glasto?
You knew? and had “HAPPY DANCE”? Not IGNORANT just ignoring something REALLY IMPORTANT TO MUSIC!
-
My ancestors were cutting Mahogany? not Sugar cane?, the black SOMALIAN BOY thought…
Slave trade and Belize?
…so Smith died years ago?
Old CD “Good Energy 2009″? DUBSTEP?
You know nothing if you just listen to music, don’t you?
What is Slave? Who are slaves? (Mahogany? Somalian? CD? relaxmax… not sugar cane so “THEY” didn’t know?)
You know who you are? (Do you know who were slaves? “THEIR NAMES”?)
−
Do you know this word “You know who you are”?
Originally,
Smith (not BLACK, Smith and Mighty) said to IKUE,
“You know who you are”
I heard…
(I didn’t know but is there?
Written somewhere?
“You know who you are”)
CD?
Good Energy?
(Credit? Where?
…so Smith has gone and relaxmax couldn’t get in touch with?
“THEY” didn’t write “HER NAME relaxmax”?.. (coz they thought relaxmax was SLAVE so they don’t have to credit her NAME!?)
Not written “NAME”?
They (who didn’t know West India sugar boycott social movement in LONDON!) dance?
Smith was playing?
The music? Good energy?
DUBSTEP 2009?
(AI: The West India sugar boycott was a major 18th and 19th-century grassroots campaign where approximately 300,000 Britons refused to consume sugar produced by enslaved people in the West Indies.)
Shady labels? 4080?
We Out Here (Noah? How much were their wedding rings? They made relaxmax slave as well? How much did Mr.and Mrs.Ball paid to wedding photographer and not paying relaxmax? ah WHITE and music? Did they really love music?)
“In Control” was not difficult?
Reggae is from Jamaica (many Jamaican live in Bristol, so reggae music is popular there.)
Bristolian Smith (white! male! slave trader!) was playing reggae!? How come! Smith made slave and played reggae! What a white!
To keep them in control was not difficult. (1984? 2080 now!)
Smith was playing with a hooker on the island and told relaxmax and her mother tons of lies “I don’t even have POTATO money..” (but Smith had money to play with go go girl! Flight money?)
Smith was crying and told relaxmax “I didn’t do anything hurt you” (he meant he didn’t have sex with hooker? Potato?)
NO REDEMPTION SONG
Smith played for 311 FUKUSHIMA TSUNAMI benefit?
No electricity? Nuclear disaster?… and “They (white and Korean male shady label and slave trader?)” made relaxmax exposed to radiation!? (… and Korean and Bristol WHITE made money? Korean brought up his kid with “THAT MONEY” (and not paying relaxmax?!?!)
REDEMPTION SONG by Bob Marley
Old pirates, yes, they rob I (relaxmax’s photo? for free!?)
Sold I to the merchant ships (shady label ZETTAIMU!?), ah
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation, yeah
Triumphantly
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
‘Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds!
Have no fear for atomic energy
(Lier Smith played this song?
…so better to have fear for atomic energy?)
‘Cause none of them can stop the time
(2011.3.11 “THEY” didn’t pay relaxmax for years?)
How long shall they kill our prophets
(Prophet relaxmax? You mean? They tried but she survived.)
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, i’m saying it’s just a part of it
We’ve got to fulfill the book
Won’t you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
‘Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Bristolian prob knew about GAZA(so Smith made mixtape?…Smith had that kind of “Humanity”… “THEY” didn’t know about SLAVE?( Mahogany cutting Somalian or relaxmax? Photo? Design?)
(Some can read in Japanese, but if it’s not written in English, many people don’t know about…but some could use “auto translation”? )
−
You know who you are
The reason why there was no name on CD credit… (Smith had wife, relaxmax was not WIFE!?)
In 2008, Outlook fes in Croatia!? They made “NOT WIFE” slave!?
−
What is slave?
You know who you are? (Do you know who was the slave?)
Where?
“The word” written where?!
Mahogany? Sugar cane? Social movement in London (not in Bristol) … but it was about “sugar” not about “CD (design photo artwork)”..
−
Her name is IKUE
You know who you are?
Her wedding ring was a pound! (…and “THEY” made relaxmax slave!? How much were their rings!?)
In Kyoto,
“They” had wedding ceremony and party (How much was it, all together!? Shimogamo shrine!? 3 times!? Bride changed her dresses and “THEY” didn’t pay relaxmax!? How much were clothes all together!? White KIMONO? White wedding dress? IRO UCHIKAKE? (And two more! 2jikai? 3jikai?). “THEY” spent such amount for “clothes” and didn’t pay relaxmax!? (Ah.. they made relaxmax slave!!!) .. KYOTO is that kind of CITY!, did you know?
How did they teach art uni students in Kyoto!?
Are their “Spose” disabled?
Why univ in KYOTO didn’t teach kids to pay photographers (relaxmax) money! How much were their rings? How much did they spent for their honey moon?
..and it’s not only one wedding! (4!? All together?!)
relaxmax didn’t wear any “WHITE WEDDING dress” (but “THEY” made relaxmax slave! Her shoes were from a charity shop for 4.99 quid. relaxmax’s mother didn’t see IKUE’s wedding dress!
(だけど、、、3回も！？お着替えしたの？フォトグラファーrelaxmaxに払わない結婚？そんな京都でいいの？1000円ぐらいの古着の靴を履いてウエディングドレスは着てないブリストルの結婚！そういうrelaxmax に写真のお金払わないような「京都の学生」！だった彼ら、、、「もっとちゃんと教育して！」この写真祭は「教育の機会」になってるの？、、、払わない人種差別は続いている)
Slaves？ Somalian？ Council flat in Easton Bristol where many Somalian and relaxmax and her husband lived .. her marriage days in Bristol. This is KYOTO ( “THEY” didn’t pay relaxmax and how much were their rings?) This is Kyotographie ( “They” could teach with their photo fes?, don’t they?)
