10 years after 911



Time flies.

It's been already 10 years since 911.
And also it's been 6 months since 311.

Both were tragic while 911 was preventable.

I will never forget.

And I appreciate every day of my life.

Peace!

Simmered Chicken in Grated Potato - Video Recipe

This is another favorite food that my mom cooks at home. Very easy and uses very simple ingredients available anywhere. It goes great with white rice and also a great recipe for bento!!!

Originally, my mom uses thinly sliced pork, but I know thinly sliced meats are not available in some countries, so I sliced the lean chicken breast! And it came out really yummy!!!



BTW, I never cooked or helped my mom when I lived with her, so actually, when I cooked for the first time was over 20! haha

Anyways, enjoy ;D

SAKE HALL HIBIYA BAR

On Saturday, my darling and I've been to SAKE HALL HIBIYA BAR in Ginza (after the Hello Kitty Art Exhibition).

My darling said he found the restaurant on the newspaper. His choice was perfect. I really loved the idea of enjoying sake in many ways :)

Not only the cocktails but also their foods are made from sake (sake lees)!

Their recommended refreshing sake: Oniwaka (鬼若) and Gokujyo Yoshinogawa (極上 吉乃川)


Carpaccio Salad with Italian Sake Dressing
