I went to the Eagles' concert in Tokyo Dome today.


Actually I'm a big fan of prog...


So this is the first time for me to go to their concert.


Their music is good old American rock music...

It was really good mood.

The last song was "Desperado".

Learning English is really tough...
In my case, problems are super Shakespeare expression and Japanglish...LOL


There are two sentences which I posted to my blog the other day.


(1) The day before yesterday, it was like a snow country around here.


My Shakespeare expression appeared...

Native English speakers never say "snow country" ... Skakespeare or only poetry.


So → It's really snowy. It's like Siberia here! (how natural...)



(2) My friend asked me to have a good time together at a nice wine bar after work cause I didn't need to drive.


Let's see, there are dangerous expressions. (>_<)


At first, "My friend" is tooooo personal, sounds like "ONLY my friend"

So → A friend of mine"...is natural.


Then next, be carefull using "have a good time".

If you use it past tense, no problem.


BUT when you use it present tense...including sexual meaningl.

When a man is walking down the street at night, a sexual woman might come up on him and ask "how about having a good time?"

See?


Have to be carefull.


So → A friend of mine wanted to have a nice evening at a nice wine bar (yes, natural...)


I reminded that I wrote same kind of expression to my facebook wall..oh how can I do?...LOL


Practice makes perfect!!!

How often do you eat pizza?


Do you know that 93% Americans eat pizza at least once a month?

Actually I eat pizza at least twice a month...kind of pizza lover!?


I had a chance to know the history of pizza.

Pizza originally comes from Mediterrenean...


The bread that is our crust on pizza based on Greek flat-bread called "pita".

That's exactly what started pizza.

The word pita and the word pizza sound pretty alike...

That's because pita is pizza's cousin.


It's interesting to knw the history.


So, I'm gonna eat pizza and some wine at a Pizzeria this Sunday. ;-)


This is a cooking class in February.

The theme is "Spain"


What does Spain reminds you?


For me....

Spanish guitar...

Steve Howe...

YES...

King Curimson...


Yeeeeees, you realize I'm a BIG fan of Prog. ^^


Of course I like classic guitar also.

Narciso Yepes was the greatest.

(Actually I went to his valuable concert many years ago.)



To backtrack...cooking class :-)


Spanish people eat "a pig roasted whole" at spring festival.

Of course it's impossible to use a whole pig at home cooking.

So a Pork roll is a substitution.

There is sauted spinach, onion roasted pine nut with thyme.
Let's roll spreaded Boston butt and cheese and those spinach.
The sauce made with gravy,fresh cream and mustard.

Pork roll

It was an unexpected invitation.


The day before yesterday, it was like a snow country around here.


So I had to give up driving my car and took a train to my office.


My friend asked me to have a good time together at a nice wine bar after work cause I didn't need to drive.
