HOT!!!!!!!
is it still rainy season?
i wanna do nothing..
still i'm writing blog.
what a good girl←
the heat is getting to me.
this year would be hotter than usual,
but we have to save electric power.
how to survive this summer---
EAT HOT FOODS:)
Come to think of it,
there are many hot food in hot country such as india, thailand.
is there any connection between these meanings?
in english, "hot" means high temperature and taste hot.
well, i have no idea, does anyone know?
hot food, such as pepper, has perspiration.
when we eat hot food, people sweat.
by sweating, body surface temperature goes down, and people feel cool.
the reason why most indian food is
hot could be human instinct which want to be cool.
hot food increase appetite,
so it is good for people who don't have appetite because of hot weather.
just you can put some hot pepper in your soup, saute etc.
let's overcome this hot weather with hot food!!!

one coin lunch☆
hello.
it's too hot..., isn't it?
today, i wanna talk about "one coin lunch".
one coin = 500 yen :)
if you pay 1000 yen, you can get 500 yen back.
recently, i'm in tokyo and hav to have lunch alone... because of job hunting.
it costs much money for me. i have to find the place to stay, and cheap one.
when i think about TIME, i always go to cafe.
but it sometimes cost too much. and not enough for me.
so on last tuesday, i went to "kitchen HAREYA"↓↓↓

it's located in Hamamatsu-chou, Daimon area.
most of their costomer is worker around that area.
they serve cheap lunch, around 500 to 800 yen.
i wanted to eat Kara-age from day before that day, so i ordered kara-age set.
it's very simple, rice, kara-age, side dish, soup.
but it's very great deal as 500 yen, and valuable.
when i searched on internet, there are many choice.
and most of them doesn't look like 500 yen.
there are many one coin lunch in tokyo, so please try it and tell me your feedback.

vegan day ♪
hello. as you see from title, i tried becoming vegan.
vegan = eat only vegetable, plant resource (no meat, fish, dairy product)
i live in japan, and live far away from vegetarian style. i have some friends who are vegetarians but I have never take this issue as my issue.
so, on the Jan. 14,
i tried not to eat meat, fish and dairy product.
become VEGAN!!!
i didn't prepare anything. i just tried in my lifestyle, and wanted to see how it works.
on the morning, woke up at 7, and thought what i should eat... no egg, meat, fish. it means most of my breakfast can't eat. what am i supposed to eat?
so i chose this↓↓↓
rice, salad, soup.
i became full, because i don't eat big breakfast like this.
...and went to job hunting^^
the biggest problem was LUNCH. i should eat out, but i'm not sure where i am supposed to go. i think convenience store has something. but rethink what i always buy there, i buy rice ball with tuna, salmon etc… well, how about mcdonald? no need to think←. hummmm, starbucks? there might be something. japanese restaurant? there might be difficult. well, recently, i learned soba is not okay. soba itself is okay, but we normally eat it with japanese soy sauce soup. it contains animal derived ingredients. DIFFICULT!!!
go back to my lunch, i chose subway! (because just there is←
look at the menu, find veggie only. it wasn't difficult to find. but i also realized i am attracted by meat, fish and cheese.
i chose avocado and veggie with wasabi soy sauce dressing.
and i ordered ice tea.
...i love avocado very much, it was worth to try it. i like milk tea but i could not drink milk... mmm…
at night, my mother prepared for vegan. these are my supper.
some veggie, soup, and chimaki.
we always eat macaroni salad with mayonaise, but today olive oil, salt and pepper. soup did not use consomme because it has animal derived ingredinets.
...and i could not eat sweets. that was most difficult for me. no cake, also chocolate, cookie... but luckily, my grandfather just send me Sasa-Dango. so i ate it.
well, this is my jun. 14. how was your day? it wasn't easy at all. i was lucky to find subway at lunch. if i were not there, what could i eat? and i have 2 question through living as vegan.
1. how vegan or vegetarian find out which contains what?
2. what can vegan eat for dessert?
when i was a high school student, i worked at convenience store. and sell some fast food there. one of foreign people came, and asked me "is it chicken?" well, i was surprised and could not answer only myself. so i checked "it is definitely chicken, isn't it?", then i could answer it. it might be my fault, but if you worked at restaurant, could you answer all of ingredients of meal which you served? i think most of japanese hardly have "vegetarian" or "vegan" idea, and far away from other religion.
when i went to new york, i saw many vegetarian menu. (well, i didn't order.) still, we can find out which can eat as vegetarian. there are variety of people in new york, and most of people have understanding to other culture. i felt we should care more others in this globalized society.
being a vegan, i felt i relied too much on meat, fish, and daily product. i am sorry to say but i felt i could not be a vegan. still, i should reconsider my lifestyle. i should understand what is happening if i eat those. i felt my act have some affect on others. (to poverty, environment etc.)
thank you for reading looong report:D

DINNER at my home
hello.
what was you dinner today:D?
did you cook yourself? or your family?
this is one day's dinner at my home.
it's a bit difficult to find out from this pic.
it's trippa alla romana.
do you know trippa?
it's reticulum (cow's stomache) which is called "nest of bees" in Japan.
i was afraid of it when i heard, and i feel not to try it.
The reason why it is called "nest of bees", it looks like it.
most of you know cow has 4 stomaches. and 2nd one called trippa.
if i say this way, it seems special, but it's not.
it is kind of same as "Motsu Nikomi"(entrails stew) in Japan.
you can think as italian version stewed with tomato.
it's delicious. definitely!
you should try it if you never tried!
...well, you might tried in some italian restaurant.
but the point is my mother cooked at home.
what do you think?
huum, my food culture is... :D haha
