Mhhmm...Mhhmm...Curry ・カレー作っちゃった!!

Today I made curry rice for the first time. 美味しかった!It was very delicious. This is about the third full meal I've made, and I must say that it turned out pretty good. Coming from a West-Indian background, curry is a very integral part of the palate. In Japan, curry is a very popular food. From children to the elderly, it is a favourite dish. It's easy to make, it's cheap, and it's delicious. Also, you can find products ranging from curry rice to curry flavored beverages, cakes, ice creams, and other things you might not have ever thought of. I will probably be making this dish a lot. :) It was good to see that my parents really enjoyed my cooking.

Here is the process:

Patiently Waiting

Well, it's February! I have a little less than 2 months before I leave!!

What do I do in the mean time?
Well, it has been almost 2 months since I graduated from university. I have been filling every moment since then with learning Japanese using some of the tips from AJATT and my own tips from previously studying Spanish :p, following some of my favourite Japanese blogs or blogs about Japan, enjoying nonstop drama sessions with my favourite Japanese dramas, and speaking with my parents in Japanese when I can(Do they understand? No, but funny enough my mother can respond appropriately to whatever I say sometimes. My dad just looks at me with a blank stare and then breaks out into laughter).

Also, when I feel to, I try and cook a meal, so that I will know how to prepare something to eat on my own. Here's some salmon I made. Missing some of salt, so I'll try again soon.


I guess I could say that I am resting to prepare for the journey ahead, because once it starts, sleep will be a thing of the past.
