5.07.2020 > 28 have finally arrived.

We will remember this day for many reasons.

We celebrated my birthday by packing up our important memories in the car, sang at the top of our lungs, ate our favorite food and moved to another prefecture.
You, me and the baby.

A new home, a new beginning, more responsibility.

Thank you for making this day so special and thank you all for the birthday wishes!

Being remembered even when I'm so far away from home makes me so happy!

Grazie!!

•• Have you ever heard of Japanese Goya? Know

•• Have you ever heard of Japanese Goya?

Known in the West as "Bitter Melon", if you're intrigued by its flavor, be ready because I assure you that the name does not lie.

This vegetable has a crispy texture and a marked bitter taste that makes it really unique, and let's be honest, it's something you will love or loathe after the first bite 🧐.

👌🏼 But as the Japanese proverb says "良薬は口に苦し" than means "Good medicine has a bitter taste", we should at least give it a try‼️

👍🏼 Why? Because it's incredibly healthy! Ingredient part of the "superfood" category, Goya is rich in good vitamins and minerals and has been used as a medicine for a range of health conditions (studies say that it help lower blood sugar levels in the body).

🍲 Its most famous version is Goya Champuru, a Stir fry dish typical of Okinawa, which includes the addition of different proteins (tofu, eggs, and often meat) - but of course nowadays you can find it in different version (vegan, vegetarian ...)

🌞 The best season to enjoy Goya is from July to September, and during this time you can find it almost everywhere!

🙆🏼‍♀️ I'll be honest, it took me a while to appreciate it (was not love at first byte ), but after a while, I'm starting to appreciate it (especially in its tempura version).

🥳 Super recommended if you want to go beyond your gastronomic boundaries and try something new!

•• 6 am, coffee ☕️ with soy milk, hot pancakes 🥞 and fruit 🍎 . A house 🏠 full of boxes 📦 still empty and butterflies 🦋 in the stomach for the changes of the next few days. New house, different prefecture, we start all over again.
I go from being 😆 to be a little 😟 .

We've lived in this house for just over a year. It's not that long, not at all, but in this time we have managed to build so many good memories that I feel like I've lived here forever.
We found incredible neighbors, a super helpful landlady, a quiet environment, a house beyond our expectations... we discovered we were expecting a baby, we hosted friends (my brother), we discover many places with our bicycles 🚲 ... so many beautiful memories.

I will miss it but at the same time I understand that change is part of life, and can help us grow and improve. Let’s enjoy the journey.

頑張りましょう •• Today’s Obento: moving time also means, let’s start empty the fridge!

With few ingredients you can create many dishes, such as an Obento Okonomiyaki topped with Okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, Katsuobushi, nori and red ginger. Under the okonomiyaki a rich salad with tomatoes and chickpeas + rice with furikake!

仕事頑張って👍

•• When he said to you on Friday evening that he has to go to work also on Saturday (😭), what you can do is just make a super fast Obento to support him.

You can say everything about Japanese, but not that they are not hard workers.
今日も頑張ってね👍 •• Today’s Obento:
On the top of rice, egg cooked in marinara sauce with zucchini, salad with cucumber, carrot and seasoned with goma sauce!

•• Preparing the Japanese white stew from star

•• Preparing the Japanese white stew from starch is easier than you might think.
I'm the first to use pre-made roux in the past (and I think it will happen to me in the future), but the satisfaction of cooking it from scratch is something else entirely.

If you would like to try it, here are the ingredients you will need: - 1 chicken breast, cut into cubes
- 70 gr of spinach, wash and boil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped in bites size
- 2 potato, chopped in 4 cubes each
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the sauces
- 2 cups of vegetable stock
- 2 cups of warm milk (I prefer unsweetened soymilk, but you can use your favorite)
- 3 tbsp of room-temp butter
- 3 tbsp of flour
- Salt & pepper to taste (For more “instructions” check the blog) •• E🌿N🌿J🌿O🌿Y🌿
