パン好きななこちゃんと作るサンドウィッチ。バターを塗ったり、卵とマヨネーズを混ぜたり。ななこちゃんはとってもお料理上手なのです。

サンドウィッチをあっという間に平らげたななこちゃん。お腹いっぱいなはずなのに、キッチンにたったひとつあったカップラーメンを見つけて一言。

「サンドウィッチちゃんと食べたから…あれも食べていい？」

施設の管理された食事にはなかなか登場することはないであろうメニュー。

「カップラーメン、小さい頃、ママとよく食べた。懐かしい味なの。」

会えない日々が続いても、忘れられない味。忘れたくない想い出。

おかあさんと一緒に食べたカップラーメン。

おいしいって、つまり、そういうことなのよね、ななこちゃん。

I and Nanako-chan make sandwitches together. She likes bread. Nanako-chan is really good at cooking such as spreading buttur on bread or mixing eggs and mayonnaise together. After finishing up her portion of the sandwitch in no time soon, she immediately threw her glance at a "Instant Cup Ramen(noodle)" which was the last one left in my kitchen..... though I thought she must be full, but she asked me.....

"You know... I tried to finish eating  the sandwitch with no leftover...Can I eat that as well, please?"

As you can easily imagine, "Cup noodle" would  be the last one to appear in nutritionally well-managed menu at her facility....

She added "Cup noodle, when I was little, I used to eat it together with my mom. I miss the taste".

Though she's spending many days there without her own mom, the taste of the cup noodle must be unforgettable for her, or it must be the treasured memory she doesn't want to forget------The very taste of the cup she had slurped together with her mom.

Nanako-chan, you are teaching me,"Tasting delicious" means to eat together with some loved one(s) around, right?
