日本の料理ー Japanese Home style Cooking!
Today I went to one of my co-worker's house with two other ladies and we had a little afternoon feast.  I learned how to make Chinese dumplings and chirashisushi; this was a lot of fun since I love cooking.  I already ordered a Japanese cookbook a few weeks ago, and cannot wait until I can begin cooking from it.  We also ate spinach, black miso soup (versus the more commonly known white, black miso is from the Nagoya area), olives, and more.  It was a delicious meal!  A dessert of sweet potato treats and pineapple pound cake followed, with tea and iced coffee to drink. We then spent the afternoon chatting, talking about cooking, looking at cookbooks, etc.  It was a really pleasant day and I enjoyed being able to experience the relaxed, at home atmosphere.
 My cooking teacher and me!  I am fanning the rice while she stirs it, apparently that is a vital part of the process. 
 Here I am making the egg topping for the sushi, I cooked and flipped it without tearing it at all- which takes skill.
 Here- making Chinese dumplings.
 Our feast! ( Well some of it, there was more added later)
おいしい!
