Hey there! Having a good weekend so far?
昨日はハロウィンでしたね
Yesterday was Halloween.
日本に来てからハロウィンの日は、ほぼ毎年仮装して、友達のハロウィンパーティーに参加していたのですが、今年はステイホームハロウィン
Since arriving in Japan, almost every year on Halloween, I would wear a costume and go to a friend's Halloween party, but this year was "stay-at-home Halloween."
とは言ってもせっかくなので、パートナーのスターウォーズのジェダイコスチュームを借りて、ハロウィン気分を満喫しました。
Even if we can't go outside, it's only once a year, so might as well celebrate! I borrowed my partner's Star Wars Jedi costume and fully got into the Halloween spirit!
そして夜ご飯はパンプキンに見立てた肉詰めピーマン
And for dinner, I made stuffed peppers that look like pumpkins
めちゃくちゃ簡単です！いつもの肉詰めピーマンのタネ（鶏ひき肉+玉ねぎ+パン粉+卵+塩コショウ）を、目と口を切り抜いたオレンジピーマンに詰めて、オーブンに。最後にトマトソースとチーズをトッピング。
This was super easy! I made my usual filling for stuffed peppers (ground chicken + onion + panko + egg + S&P), cut out eyes and mouths from the orange peppers, and stuffed the peppers with the filling. Then, I baked them in the oven (don't remember how long - maybe 30-40 min?) and for the last 5 minutes, I topped them with tomato sauce and cheese.
ハロウィンみたいな、ちょっとした「普段とは違う何か」があると、自粛生活が続く中、期待以上に気分転換になりました
As my days of self-quarantine continue, these little moments like Halloween that take me out of my normal routine provide me a change of pace -- more than I expected.
皆さんのハロウィンはいかがでしたか？
Did you do anything for Halloween?
Enjoy your Sunday!
