DONBURI FOREVER

私は丼を作るのが大好きなんです！簡単でお金をそんなにかけなくていいですからね。

I love to cook donburi. "Ricebowls" are very easy to make and usually are not very expensive to cook. 

家ではオリジナルの丼を開発しています。私の丼料理、いかがですか？

I am very creative when it comes to making my donburi at home. I use American tastes for inspiration to create new donburi. 

What do you think of my donburi?

This is my tan-tan donburi. I made a sauce for tan-tan men, but I used it on top of my rice.

担担丼です。担担麺用のソースを作ってご飯の上にかけてみました。

This is the pesto and ham donburi. I used pesto sauce, which is made from basil and ham that I fried. It was very delicious.

バジルを使った「ペスト」いうソースと、炒めたハムを使った丼です。

This was the best one. It is a Philadelphia Cheese Steak donburi! I cooked onions and shiitake mushrooms until light brown, then add sliced steak and cheese.

私のおすすめ！フィラデルフィアチーズステーキ丼です！玉ねぎとしいたけをきつね色になるまで調理し、

そこにスライスしたステーキとチーズを加えてます。

This is my gyudon. It is the normal style. I used brown rice for this bowl.

牛丼を作ってみました。お米は玄米を使ってみました。

IT'S CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME!

先週末は岩国でお花見をしてきました！天気も最高で桜満開でした！

Last weekend I ventured out to Iwakuni to see the cherry blossoms. It was amazing! The weather was fantastic and the cherry blossoms were at FULL BLOOM! There were also many food stands around the river. I ate udon and watched the river flow gracefully. It was great. 

Look the cherry blossoms!
見てください！この桜！綺麗でしょう？

桜ってなんで綺麗なんでしょうね・・・？桜は冬の終わりを告げるとともに、春の訪れを感じさせますね。

Observing the cherry blossoms made me think about why they are so special. Their short life and great beauty is precious. It is also a sign of the end of winter and the beginning of warmer weather.

柳井にも行ってきて、あんパンとメロンパンをいただきました。おいしかったです！

I also went to Yanai to enjoy bread from Grand Maman Bakery. It was delicious! I ate red bean paste bread and melon bread.
