This is...

 Containers of Whole Garlic!!

Owner of them is my Korean friend Kim.
She is married and her mother in law had sent it to her.
According to her, pickled garlic is tipical summer food in Korea.
People in Korea eat them every summer so mouths of most of people in Korea smell garlic!
So there is no person who cares about the smell of garlic from his or her mouth.

 She gave me one container!
They are soaked in soy sauce and vinegar.
It was really delicious and makes me hot from the core of my body.
But unfortunately, I'm in Japan now so I can't eat it　on weekdays....

How to organize your mind.

 

He described in his book about the way to built the concept which solves the cliant's problem. The content of this book was really informative and I've learned a lot of things from this. In this book, he emphasized on "organize" and "purify". Organize the environment around you. Organize information. Organize your mind. And he described that first of all, excellence of your work and efficiency is depend on "how organized your surroundings are". For the example, he pick out his own office.

"Making my own job" by Tadao Ando

The author of this book is world-famouse Japanese architect.
This book is his autobiography.
He has been paid attention not only his excellent works but his unique background as a architect.
He hasn't graduated from University because his family wasn't afford to pay his tuition.
But he didn't give up his dream to be an architect. So he started to read enormous numbers of books and study architecture and study by himself.

"I bought all books used at the University which one of my friends had entered. Then I studied from 9 in the morning  to 4 in the next morning  everyday. "
During his self educational period, fortunately he found one　architectural office which allowed him to work as an assistant.
So he could acquire　practical skills.After that he had passed architectural exam for his architectural license  and　have gotten independent.



This is a line I found in his book.↓
 つらかったのは、共に学び、意見を交わす友人がいなかったことだ。自分がどこに立っているのか、正しい方向に進んでいるのかさえ分からない。不安や孤独と戦う日々が続いた。そうした暗中模索が、責任ある個人として社会を生き抜くためのトレーニングとなったのだろう。

"The hardest part of my self-study was that I didn't have any piers to learn together and share our opinions together. I didn't have any way to confirm whether I was walking on the right track. I have been always fighting loneliness and anxiety. However、 this period of my life made me tough enough to survive in the society."


It was really even He had been suffering anxiety for his future.But he told me that we have to face this anxiety and keep going on.

model making

My opinion
 Making house model was really fun and I lost track of time... However, according to my teacher, now a days it is rare for Interior designers to make such model for job. Everything is processed on computer. It was a little bit sad but I know that doing job on computer is more efficient than making by our own hands.

White Konnyaku (Japanese food made of special potato)

Brown rice with microwave

Today I bought this container made of silicon. This is a special container for steaming rice with microwave.

When we make brown rice it takes about 1 and half hours.While, with this container and microwave, it is possible to have rice cooked in about 10 minutes!!

Yam... I live in share house now so it bother other people if I use stove for a long time. So this is what I've been looking for! There are a lots to learn from my life in share house.

Power to enjoy anything

My new obsession

Last weekend, I went to the area which is crowded with a lot kinds of shops of ethnic food material! Then I found this at the Pakistan ingredient shop!

"Pomegranate seed"!!It is dried pomegranate!! I've never seen it at ethnic ingredient shop!!

It looks really ugly but the taste is awesome!! It's similar to raisin!But Pomegranate seeds are much sourer!! And it is really crunchy and delicious!!

According to the owner, it is used for curry!
But I found that it went nicely with yoghurt as well!!

If you have chance to see this package, please try it!!

Korean dining

Today is Sunday! My Korean housemate have day off every Sunday so she has time to cook!
Then what's happening?
It's getting usual thing that my Sunday dinner is deadly spicy Korean plate!!

My first korean friend

Today's dinner is "Toppogi".
One of my flat mates is Korean girl who is working at game company in Tokyo.
She had day off today and we met at the kitchen this morning and she said "I'm making toppogi for dinner　today." Then I said "Will you tell me how to make it?"
Then her sudden cooking class has been　held at night.

Korean Chilli paste.!! It's really spicy but it contains sugar as well. So it's spicy and sweet.

This is soup stock she brought from Korea. It smells like fish.

It was really surprising taste.
You can taste spiciness and sweetness at the same time!
But she was Korean who don't like spiciness so this time sweetness won.
（Chilli paste contains much amount of sugar and then she added sugar additionary!! ）
Therefore I felt like I was eating "Mitarashi-dango"(Caramelized mochi-Japanese sweets↓)
