Test run

I always wanted to create stuff. I use and create a lot of slides and worksheets. I thought I would share my creation here.  There is a little voice telling me "There are better creators than me." Then there is another voice telling me "Go ahead, you will get better." Before, I might have listened to the first voice, but I am learning to listen to the latter.  Here we go. We cook several times a semester. This is the first one that we made. I have read several recipes and adjusted the ingredients based on my students' allergies.  PS: I forgot to take a photo of our finished product. So, I used a photo from MySpiceTrunk.com.  Korean Pancake  

Getting ill from the Lunar New Year Celebration

     Getting home on Sunday evening from our Lunar New Year celebration, I started to feel sick. The funny thing is that I know what I ate that made me ill. It was the good old lamb meat.       Living in Japan, I mostly eat beef, pork, and chicken. Sometimes, I cook internal organs such as the liver or heart.       For the celebration, my cousin and his girlfriend cooked some lamb meat. I had a few pieces along with the famous buuz.

Do not give me wrong because I know Japan is famous for its Wagyu and Kobe beef. HOWEVER, I prefer to eat Mongolian meat that comes from cattle that roamed the pasture and only consumed grass.  On top of that, I tried eating keto to lose some fat. I really struggled with finding ingredients that are low-carb, since Japan is a rice country. More on that later! So, in order to be accountable with myself, I created an Instagram account and started posting my food pictures, hence the photos for some inspiration.  During the last 2 years, I did keto on and off. Finally, I am starting to learn what I like to eat and how I should eat that is good for my body. Now, I tend to eat keto but I do not restrict high-carb foods like bread and rice. I live in JAPAN, the rice is very delicious!!! Hope you will join me on this blog and share your experienc...
