泡麵之父留遺產 台日子孫爭奪戰

泡麵之父「吳百福」去世1年半,但是留下的財產卻讓台灣、日本3任妻妾的子孫們,大打遺產爭奪戰!

二房長女吳美和,是吳百福的第4個小孩,不過因為母親沒有跟吳百福結婚,讓她的身分,一直沒有得到吳百福家族的承認,當時安藤過世時,她想要上香都困難重重。吳美和:「心情不是很好,因為最後因為他們只有5分鐘能上香。」

吳美和在這個月18日,為了遺產問題前往大阪與日清委託會面,律師表示安藤的遺產,大部分都捐出去,每個人扣除手續費,大約能夠得到台幣395萬;之前日本雜誌週刊新潮,就曾經以斗大的標題指出,日清泡麵王吳百福之女「吳美和」,在大阪街頭撿垃圾維生,為的就是要長期抗戰。

吳美和:「我為了不讓家裡,再寄太多的錢給我用,在日本自己做清潔工,日本的清潔工就是撿破爛。」

對遺產不滿的還有二房次男的孫子,他們向日本法院提出吳百福重婚的告訴,要求法院取消吳百福與三房日籍妻子的婚姻關係,目前已經在一審中勝訴,三房「安藤仁子」也決定要上訴,捍衛她的名譽跟家產。這場台日泡麵遺產大戰,恐怕還要打上好一陣子。

Créme Caramel


「焦糖布丁」這幾個字對泰咪來說,好像總隱藏著一股無法抗拒的誘惑,不知不覺就想把手伸過去,尤其盒子上的圖片又如此誘人.....



昨晚興奮的品嚐了一顆,入口的第一個反應便是:美國大老粗做的東西,還真不是普通的甜啊~~

(抱歉湯匙舀的那一瓢有點醜..... XD)

Typhoon Notice/颱風出勤訊息


關於颱風,泰咪公司的規定是,就算地方政府已宣布不上班,仍得依公司公告為準。

也就是說呢,看到新聞宣布放颱風假,也別高興得太早,還得看公司放不放人咧!

昨晚11點多開始的一小時內,連續收到由公司管理組、泰咪家部門經理、襄理傳來,三封相同的簡訊

這下泰咪可以確定,今天能夠繼續睡到自然醒啦~~

Speaking of typhoon, the policy of Tammy's company is, even though the local government has announced the day off, we still have to wait for the company's final decision.

Which means, don't be relax too early if you hear government's announcement, unless your company approves it, too!

Last night, within 1 hour started from 11:00, Tammy received 3 same messages individually from our administration dept., Tammy's department manager & assistant manager.

And one thing for sure, today I wouldn't have to be woke by the alarm!!

USDA PRIME


通常 COSTCO 裡賣的美國牛肉等級,都是屬第二級的 USDA(*) CHOICE。但今天竟然有頂級 PRIME 的無骨牛小排耶!!!

雖然家裡還有剩之前買的 CHOICE,泰咪爸還是無法抗拒誘惑的又搬了一盤 PRIME 回家.....

照片或許看不出哪裡不同 (尤其已經料理過了),但泰咪現在知道,多那至少 20~30% 的價格不是假的啊~

COSTCO usually sells USDA CHOICE (2nd grade) beef. But, today we saw USDA PRIME (top grade) rib eye steak!!!

Though we still have some CHOICE rib eye uncooked from the last time's purchasing, Tammy's dad couldn't resist the allure of beautiful PRIME beef.....

There may be no obvious difference from this pix, but after the taste, now I know the value of that 20~30%'s price why PRIME is higher than CHOICE!

10 Points


MISDO 從7月初開始的活動,消費滿 $70 送刮刮卡一張,刮出來的點數集滿10點就可換一條波堤獅手機吊飾。

今晚泰咪總共拿到4張刮刮卡,點數加起來不多不少,就剛好10點耶!!!

PON DE LION,歡迎你來和泰咪的手機作伴~

MISDO's summer campaign started from this month. 1 scratch card for every $70 of purchasing, The PON DE LION mobile strap is the gift for collecting 10 points.

Tammy got 4 cards tonight. And guess what? Not too much and not too less, just 10 points!!!

Welcome to Tammy's home, PON DE LION~

Osakajo, Here I Come Again!/大阪城,我又來了!

天氣熱到連鴿子都想坐著休息?!?!
Too hot to be standing?!?!


讓泰咪想到『傑克與魔豆』
It let me think of "Jack and the Beanstalk"



自行想像秋天的景色中.....
Imaging how it will look like in autumn.....


稱兄道弟~
You are my buddies~





巨人用祈願牌?? (果然來到了魔豆的世界.....)
Wish board for giants?? (Now I know I really in the Beanstalk's world....)

Osaka, Here I Come Again!/大阪,我又來了!


時隔一年又一個多月,泰咪又去大阪囉~
不過這次可肩負著導遊的重責大任呢!

13 months since the last time, Tammy had been visited Osaka again.
But there was a great responsibility on my shoulder, to be the tour guide!



即將載我們航向大阪的 A330-300
Our flight was about to take us leave for Osaka.


路過的 747 大貨機
A passed by 747 Cargo plane


隔壁這台有波音彩繪機身喲!
with Boeing painting!


(怎麼突然好像變成梅花航空公司的宣傳網站了.....?!?!)
(Looks like Tammy's blog has turned to certain airline's advertising page.....?!?!)


一出海關,為了6張行程贈送的關西機場←→大阪 JR 來回車票,就在機場裡和車站上上下下來回跑了好幾趟,最後才搞懂原來就近在眼前!

如果當時沒堅持先去取票,說不定就這麼飛走了呢!呼~


首站就是讓人目不暇給的 OUTLET。逛一圈下來,不補充點體力怎麼行咧?
Our 1st stop was Outlet mall. After hours of shopping, everyone all needed to regain some energy!


出發前幾個禮拜就打定主意,一定要吃到的,最適合夏天的 ICE BAGEL
本來一直以為是冰淇淋,原來是 cream cheese 呀~ (這個草莓口味超讚哦!!!)

I'd been thinking this ICE BAGEL for weeks!!


Thought it would be ice cream, in fact it was stuffed with cream cheese. (Strawberry flavor was so good!!!)


BAGEL SANDWICH 的點餐步驟
How to order your own bagel sandwich


就是這個名字了,RINKU PREMIUM OUTLETS (臨空 OUTLETS),離關西機場只要20幾分鐘車程

This is the name, RINKU PREMIUM OUTLETS. Only about 25 mins away from Kansai International Airport.


血拼夠了,該進大阪市區囉~


....但這不是我們坐的車啦,這列是 JR 西日本的特急はるか (Haruka) 車系,專跑關西空港到京都方向間的路線。

(泰咪覺得那藍底白字的 "はるか"
logo 設計得很美啊,果然有符合京都的氣質~)

Done the shopping, time to leave for Osaka City~

but.....this wasn't our train. It was "Haruka" of WEST JAPAN RAILWAY COMPANY, run between Kansai International Airport to Kyoto area.


車廂裡的椅子正在自動轉向下一趟的發車方向唷!
Chairs were turning toward the next departing direction automatically!



由於
不少東西以前就曾拍過,且這次有 D300 & D80 同行,泰咪也就樂得清閒囉~ (笑)
欲欣賞豐富的照片,請參觀 Matt's Trip - 阪京行系列報導,龜速泰咪會盡快努力把自己的部分趕出來啦.....


Since we had Nikon D300 & D80 accompanied, Tammy let LX2 took a real vacation this time~ (^^)
To see more pix, pls check Matt's Osaka-Kyoto Trip. I'll try to get my own part done a.s.a.p.....

Bathhouse/小眾澡堂


卡玫基已經帶來的一天一夜瘋狂大雨,讓台南的河水混濁度急速上升,使南化水庫來不及做淨水處理,也造成整個曾文溪以南無預警緊急停水,據說得停三天。

在風雨交加又停水的日子裡,泰咪家的兩顆大~大~~水塔竟然跟著起舞,壞了某個零件,現在是呈現完全見底的狀態 !!!!!

好一個『屋漏偏逢連夜雨』的最佳詮釋啊~~~~~ >.<"

炎炎夏日,洗澡大事一定得想辦法解決呀~

包袱款一款,到 200 公尺外的阿姨家去借用浴室吧!

提著裝有各式清潔用品的小籃子走在路上,只差沒穿浴衣和木屐了呢~




Typhoon KALMAEGI has brought 1 day & 1 night's crazy downpour, let the tap water becomes too muddy to be cleared in the short time, and caused the emergent announcement of suspending water supply for the following 3 days.

At wet and windy, plus no water supply's days, 2 big big water towers @ Tammy's house went on strike, too!!! Both 2 water towers were almost empty now!!!!!

In such hot summer, taking a shower was a thing must not be skipped.

Well, let's go to auntie Susan's apartment that only 200 meters away from Tammy's house!

Only 2 things I didn't have was wearing yukata(*) & geta(*), or I would be like Japanese in the old time, carrying a little basket with my own necessities, heading to the public bathhouse..... ha~


*yukata : an unlined cotton Japanese kimono (for loungewear or sleepwear)

*geta : Japanese (wooden) clogs

2 Days Late


在行李箱裡躺了兩天的禮物,到家後終於可以出來透氣囉~

背包上的徽章還寫著我們最愛的電影『紅磨坊』裡的重點台詞呢!
The pin on backpack even has the key line from our favorite movie - "Moulin Rouge"!

Thanks! My lovely sisters.

Ayu's Ticket, Set!


總算能擠出點小空寫本月第一發,雖然這麼一拖已經變舊聞了......




突然宣布售票日期且只隔兩、三天就正式開賣,若那幾天沒注意到這消息,可能票都賣光了,還不知情地痴痴等咧~~

幾經考慮,為了避開年代售票網為多數人所詬病的流量負荷問題,還是親自跑一趟實體售票點吧!

7/3 12:00pm 開賣,一開始服務人員光是登入系統的動作就試了約10分鐘吧,全台灣真的很多人在搶票吶~



排在泰咪前面的隊伍,幸好不算長,若在市區的售票點可能就不止這樣了吧?

最高價的 $4,500 特區票就在服務人員三不五時就得重登入的過程中,幾乎被一掃而空。還好泰咪本來就不打算買那區,否則看著剩餘數量快速流失,真會急死耶~



一切辦妥後,已經是過了 12:40 哩!呼~
