How to make it Recipe 📖 She was my senior and I was a little scared to tell her that I don’t want to eat it. I then did the obvious.

While growing up in Japan, I didn’t really eat food that contained spices. If you have been to Japan or are acquainted with Japanese cuisine, you probably agree with me that the Japanese do not use many spices in our recipes, and the food is rather mild and subtle. Time has changed and the current generation of youths in Japan enjoy more international food that includes spices such as Thai and Indian food, but the vast majority of spices are still “foreign” to most of us....

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. Let’s start the year 2014 with positive thoughts and energy. For me, one of the sweetest moments in life is when someone does something for you out of the sincerity of their heart, regardless it’s a big or small gesture. It could be a stranger letting you skip ahead while waiting in line, or a stranger sitting next to you on the plane offering to pay for your movie on the flight (which happened to me on my back from my NY trip)....

From visiting the caves at Okinawa World to seeing the giant whale sharks at Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, we got to experience the many personalities of Okinawa and of course, ate all different types of Okinawan food....

What is a Tomatillo? When you hear the term ‘tomatillos’, your first thought is likely that they are related to tomatoes. In fact, even the name literally translates as ‘little tomato’ in Spanish. However, they are not exactly tomatoes nor a variety of them.

The plant is a member of the nightshade family....

In Japan, we typically serve white steamed rice as a part of a meal. However, once in a while, we serve rice that’s mixed with other ingredients and they are called Takikomi Gohan or Maze Gohan. Today we’ll make Ume Shiso Rice (Maze Gohan) (梅しそ混ぜご飯). It’s the most appetizing dish where steamed rice is pepped up with the additions of Japanese pickled plum (Umeboshi), shiso leaves, and toasted sesame seeds....

Umeboshi (梅干し) is Japanese salted plums or Japanese pickled plums.

It’s known to be a hangover cure, a digestive aid, and helps with bloating and fatigue relief.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Maskal Teff‎. The opinions and texts are all mine. I prefer a hot breakfast like crepes, sandwiches, upma, poha, porridges, etc over cold ones like cereal or smoothies. It has all the right ingredients to make it a hearty breakfast! It’s so good that it could easily pass off as a dessert! Ever since I was introduced to this ancient Ethiopian grain, I have been enjoying cooking with teff, be it this porridge, Banana Bread, Teff idli, Teff Patties, Teff Roti, or Teff Masala Khichdi....

Red potatoes: we don’t have the exact potatoes in the US that they use in Germany, but waxy red potatoes will do the trick. Don’t use starchy potatoes such as russets, because they can fall apart easily in your salad. I prefer small red potatoes so I can just cut them in half to create the perfect bite. If you choose large potatoes, you’ll want to quarter them. If you can’t get your hands on red potatoes, other waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold, New Potatoes, French fingerling, Red Bliss, baby potatoes, creamers, Red Adirondack, and Russian Banana will work....

I booked Fastpasses for 3 rides for each day 20 something days ago....
