Mabodoufu

Mabodoufu is one of Sichuan. It is very easy to cook; just fring ground meat and adding the commercial mabo source then put tofu into the pan. The work is only half of curry because it has needs to use the kitchen knife to cut the ingredients. As I cook mabodoufu, I never use kitchen knife. Meat is already grounded and tofu is too soft to cut with the knife. The tofu was just teared with my hands. Welsh onion was minced before cook; I always cut all of them when I buy. I spent only ten minutes to finish cooking. The compatibility with rice was unbelievably good. The cost was also so low.

Sunny

It was hot sunny day. When I go outside, it is almost rainy day, or the sun has already set, so this sunny day was so rare for me. It was so hot that I sweat. It was on the way to my home from supermarket, and I had some pieces of baggage. The weight and the temperature tortured me very much. I took some pictures of the contrast between the deep green leaves and pale blue sky. It was so beautiful. I wanted to walk without baggage. When I got to my home, I have used up my power, and I went into the bed soon. If I had been more powerful man, I could have gone outside to walk around as soon as I put all my baggage at hall.

Lunch viking

Viking is Norman who had their stronghold at Scandinavian Peninsula or Denmark and invaded through Europe. When Japanese hear the word Viking, they never think about strong Norman pirate. We suppose that it is meal in restaurant in which people can eat any dishes what they like without limitation on the amount. That is called smorgasbord in English. I and my friend enjoyed smorgasbord at a hotel for only 1,000 yen. There were many people already though the restaurant was not open. We paid for one Hideyo Noguchi and sat on a seat. We ate much amount of many kinds of food to recover the cost. Sausage, croquette, pilaf, mousse cake or so on, abundant such foods went into our stomach. We ate up to our limitation. We could not move for some time after eating. The restaurant was located on the top floor of the hotel. We only rested and viewed the beautiful sky from the window of tenth floor.

Annin

When I went out Yoshinoya with a friend, we wanted some sweets. There was a convenience store opposite the Yoshinoya, so we went to the store. I thought deeply about what I really want to eat, and the conclusion is Annindofu. That is one of Tensin, light Chinese foods or sweets eaten instead of meal. Such traditional Chinese sweets is available in any supermarket or convenience store in Japan. Annin is my weakness. That is like a custard pudding but different. The taste is mild and sweet but plain. I love the person who invented Annindoufu and who brought it to Japan. They are hero for me.

By the way, what is Annin? I searched and surprised for the truth. I expected it was something like a sweet fruit, but it was not right. It was the content of seeds of an apricot. The content is altered to powder through some processes. The Annin powder have been eaten as a tofu or tea for thousands of year in China as the medicine for ageless and longevity. Annin is medicine! I found the only medicine I can eat without hesitation in the world.

Recalling my past blog, what I wrote was almost about foods. I have few subjects without that, and today's is also about foods. I'm sorry, but the subject about food is most important daily topic. I can not avoid them. It may be just an excuse for my fewness of daily subjects.

Carl

Do you know Carl? It's a famous Japanese snack as cheese flavor. I like one of cheese flavor very much. When I walked around a stand, I found this chocolate flavor. I could not hold my curiosity, and I bought it. I opened the package.

This is the snack. It was surrounded by chocolate, but the sape was Carl . The taste was so-so. As everyone knows, the best flavor of Carl is cheese. There might be no need to wrap it with chocolate.
