七草粥

01月07日土曜日朝は七草がゆをいただきました。セリ、ナズナ、ゴ（オ）ギョウ、ハコベラ、ホトケノザ、スズナ、スズシロの「春の七草」は祝膳や祝酒で弱った胃にもやさしいです。今年一年の無病息災を願って食べました。

January 7th Saturday morning, I ate seven herb rice porridge. It is an old Japanese custom of eating seven herb rice porridge on January 7th. The seven herb are water dropwort, shepherd's purse, cudweed, chickweed, henbit, turnip, and daikon radish. I wish for good health for this year and calm stomach or rested stomach by heavy eating and drinking.
