sophia’s travel by night

the sky was soooooooo beautiful @ the beach house in Dashi. i love recording the changing clouds n lights of the sky. it's forever changing. nvr one moment exactly the same. like time. like life. like water. ever present, ever changing. as i sit here listening to david lanz's music. i kno tho i'm not out ther, the sky is still beautiful this weekend as it ws last weekend. happy mother's day, to all who r and will b or not, women/girls of the world.

Since last trip to taiwan, i've been participating in a "cooking" class with my aunt every first tuesday of the month. it's all traditional japanese dishes, taught by a japanese chef who spoke near perfect chinese. she basically cooks and explains about it while we watched n ask questions. then we get to sit down to a beautiful lunch! after talking to some frnds, i thought it might b a great idea to share not only the exp n fotos, but the receipes too! cuz it's amazing food. not too difficult to make either. tho it wd take me some time to translate'em all! seeing tht i'm also a lazy blogger! so here's wht we ate this last tuesday! ----- -------- --------- -------- dishes shown in the foto: Katse Don (breaded, fried pork), wakame/ bamboo stew (if anyone kno the japanese name?), Shira-ie (veggie w/tofu sause, very very traditional household dish), cold spinach w/sesame sauce, mixed rice, miso egg drop soup, orange cream jello. ------- ------- ------- ---...
