Walking P1P2(Diary)

 

Wednesday, April 9

I was taking a walk today on a sunny day and the wind was blowing and petals were dancing from the cherry trees.

I looked up at the sky and saw a light blue sky with very white clouds.

And the cherry blossoms in pink. It is a view that is second to none in any season.

I looked at the ground and saw a carpet of cherry blossoms. I looked up at the sky and saw a tunnel of cherry blossoms.

Rape blossoms bloom all at once.

I felt as if they were heralding the beginning of many things to come.

Warmer temperatures make people and animals more active. I would love to hold the dancing petals of the cherry blossoms in the palm of my hand.

It feels very romantic.

I feel like I am in love when I see a cherry blossom landscape.

I am in awe.

Thursday, April 10,

Today, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom and petals are dancing, unfortunately, it was raining heavily.

The cherry trees are starting to show a little green and the cherry tree sheets are beginning to be put up under the trees.

Watching the petals drift away in the heavy rain gave me a warm feeling, and at the same time, it washed away my past feelings, reset my mind, and gave me a fresh start.

Is it just me, or does the rain sometimes make me feel as if all the stress and fatigue in my heart is being washed away?

I love the sound of rain and I think such a day is a perfect day for reading.

Reading while listening to the sound by the window with the rain falling.

Even though I live inside my house, I feel like I am in touch with nature, which makes me happy.

Even on rainy days, I take a walk and study. Unfortunately, even on a rainy day, I don't care about the rain. I should not be influenced by the weather.

I thought, "Whether or not I can have fun even in unfavorable weather, whether or not I can do what I need to do.

Walking on the asphalt or soil on a day when it stops raining seems to be fun.

Cooking Fun (Diary)

 In this issue, I would like to write about the joy of cooking.

The reason why I enjoy cooking

is because I get a great sense of accomplishment when I complete a dish that is in a recipe. Also, because I don't have to dip into the recipe exactly as it is written, and I can think of my own ideas.

What can I do?

What can I do with cooking? You can enjoy cooking even if you just add a little something to an existing recipe.

What is a lot to make?

Whenever I have a hard time deciding what to make, I always end up making fried rice. It's not a good idea because the recipes I can make are biased. I need to increase the number of recipes I can make as soon as possible.

What's the hardest part?

I think the hardest thing is washing dishes. It's hard to wash a rice cooker that's full of oil and natto rice.

What do you want to try?

When I go out to eat, I take pictures of the daily lunch specials and set menus, and then I think of the ingredients and make them myself. I enjoy the process of deciding on ingredients based on my credentials. As I make the dish, I feel like I'm doing research to see if I can really make it exactly like the picture. That is why I want to try my hand at cooking with only photographs.

Summary: Cooking can be arranged by yourself. It is also fun because it becomes a part of your life as a new hobby. Why don't you enjoy it in your daily life?

Cooking verification of salted mackerel and white dashi

Today, I wanted to cook a new dish and tried to make mackerel miso, but I didn't buy miso. I didn't buy any miso, so I made this dish as a verification of the cooking.

Ingredients: Salted mackerel, white soup stock

Preparation: Heat up a frying pan

Put white soup stock in an oiled frying pan.

Add salted mackerel and fry.

Note: It is better not to put the white broth in the pan, as the oil will splash around the gas stove.

Reflection: I was going to make mackerel miso, but I didn't have miso, so I wanted the white dashi to play the role of alternative miso. The oil splashed quite violently.

I tasted the crystals that remained and found that they tasted like salt. I looked at the ingredients list and found that salt and soy sauce were in the white dashi.

Did it not work because I forgot to look at the ingredients list?

I thought it was a substitute for miso, but something was different.

I'll do the research again. I like this kind of experimentation and research. I wanted to make mackerel miso this time, but I wasn't thorough enough, so I'll try to improve it this time and succeed.

Maybe I should have boiled leeks with it? I'll do it all next time.

PS: Natto (fermented soybeans) is a great way to eat rice. I recommend it. If I make it like this, I wonder if it would have been better to make grated daikon with grilled mackerel?

Arranged mock takikomi gohan

Ingredients: Salted mackerel, salmon, shimeji or maitake mushrooms, white rice, white soup stock

Cooking method: Before cooking rice, add salted mackerel, salmon, shimeji or maitake mushrooms and white soup stock as needed. Be careful not to add too much white dashi. I found this out when I heated it in a frying pan, because when it evaporates, the salt content remains.

The salmon was about to expire, so I added salmon. It's boneless so I don't have to worry about it when I eat it.

A little effort makes it tasty!

Arranged Pasta

The dish I would like to introduce is arranged pasta. You can make it quickly and add your own toppings. Let's make your own unique pasta. Ingredients: Pasta noodles, ham, eggs, pasta sauce to taste

Directions: Boil pasta

Grill ham

Fried egg, keeping yolk semi-cooked.

Arrange the pasta noodles on a plate and arrange the cooked ham around the noodles.

Place the fried egg in the center and pour the sauce over it.

Sprinkle with nori seaweed.

Done.

Impression: The pasta sauce used this time was mentaiko sauce, so it was a little spicy.

The ham is salty and exquisite. And the egg did not lose its spiciness and saltiness, and the sweetness of the egg could be tasted.
