Cooking -- September 29, 2008




We had the first cooking after a summer break. Six ladies enjoyed today's cooking. We cooked seasonal dishes; salt-grilled sanma(Pacific saury) and pear salad. All the dishes including braised chicken, miso soup, and orange jello were ready a little after noon. It is fun to talk about food and other topic over lunch.
