Good thing about ballet as a hobby

Because of wide spread of ballet as a hobby in Japan, you can find ballet studio almost everywhere even in rural area of Japan. They are not  only for children, but also for adult beginners. Compare to other dances, I think it is easy to newly start especially if you don't have any experience of dance before . I'm away on a business trip now, and found there is a ballet studio just around the corner from the hotel I'm staying. I spontaneously went to take a lesson on last Saturday though I don't have ballet ware here. I could learn a lot  there, and I'll go next weekend too.

ミールキット＃２

本日はたっぷり玉ねぎソースの和風ハンバーグ。2人前で1,490円でした。

ソースの玉ねぎや付け合わせのジャガイモや青梗菜は自分でカットしなくてはなりません。しらたきとひじき炒め煮も少し調理が必要です。

簡単ではあるんだけど、2品もあって、付け合わせまであるようなものを普段作らないので、少し面倒でした。鍋とフライパン2つも洗わないといけない。

お皿が大きくて見た目が寂しい感じですが、味は美味しかったです。ちゃんと料理したって感じがします（キットだけど）。我が家は薄味なので、ソースの量を適当に減らせるのがとてもいい。

This is another meal kit I orded the other day. The main dish is hamburger stake with onion sauce, the small dish is simmerd Konnyaku, which is a kind of jelly made from Konnyaku yam routs, and Hijiki seaweed. It costs 1,490 yen for two servings. This needs more procedures compared to the one I posted before. For example, I need to peel potatos and cut vegetables, and the main and the sides also needs a pan, so I have to wash two pans after dinner. Usually I cook simple dishes only, so this is little bit troublesome for me, though the procedures are simple enough for perople who cook everyday.

The presentation was not good, but the taste was very good. I don't like strong taste, so I found that those meal kit have advantage of controling  taste easily.

ミールキット＃１

毎日家でご飯を食べていると、だんだん何を食べていいか分からなくなってきたので、オイシックスのミールキットを買ってみました。こちらは鶏つくねの3種きのこソース、2人前で1,274円也。ちょっと贅沢だけど、たまにならいいかな。

鶏つくねとベビーリーフ、きのこソース、カット済みの人参と鰹節が入っていました。つくねは焼くだけ、にんじんは醤油と砂糖で和えるだけです。とっても楽ちんでおいしかった。写真と同じように、おしゃれな感じにできました。

人参はこれから自分でもやってみようと思います。

I'm totally out of idea what to eat everyday becase I cook at home everyday in this COVIT-19 situation.  I wanted try something new, so I orderd "meal kit" online. This is chicken meat ball with mashroom sauce and tossed carrot & bonito flakes with sweet soy sauce. It contains all ingredients which have already done some prep work, so all you have to do is just grill the chicken balls and mix carrot and other ingredients. It was super easy to cook and tasted good. It costs 1,274 yen for two servings. I think it is little bit expensive for me, but occasionally it's ok. Maybe I can buy the same materials at super market myself, and cook this again.

サラトリオ

昨日スーパーで「サラトリオ」というレタスを見つけました。３種類のレタスが入っています。根っこがついていたのでコップに入れてみました。

I went a supermarket close to my house yesterday, and I found a package of lettuce named "sala-trio" which contains three different types of lettuce. They still have roots, so I put them in a cup. It looks like an interior decoration, isn't it?🤣 I wish new leaves will come out!
