Let's cook chapchae!

Yesterday I cooked chapchae with my mother.
Do you know "chapchae"? It's a dish made from cellophane noodle, stir fried in sesame oil with mamy kinds of vegetables. I think it is healthy.

First we cut carrots, paprikas, spinach, mashrooms, spring beans, onions and beef. Then we mixed them with seasoning. After that we boiled noodle, finally we stir fried them. It seems easy, but it took about two or three hours to cook it! So I had to get up early to prepare ingrediants till noon. The taste was nice and plain.

If you have time, please make chapchae!

USJ food

On Saturday I went to USJ with my sister. It was about 3 years ago when I visited the last time. I arrived at USJ around 13:30 and met her.

At first, we enjoyed SPACE FANTASY THE RIDE. It's kind of rollercoasters but spins when it runs, so I screamed and amazed! Second we watched TERMINATOR 2 3-D. I don't like 3-D, but it was interesting and a little bit scarely. Third, we rode HOLLYWOOD DREAM THE RIDE. It is also kind of a rollercoaster but it suddenly goes up and down, also we can listen a song while it runs. I listend "Wings named you" by Kobukuro, and my sister listened "Osaka LOVER" by DREAMS COME TRUE. I could enjoy the speed and music. After that we rode SPIDER-MAN THE RIDE twice because there were a few people. It is speedy, and it is a little bit close to the entrance, so it is still popular and able to get to ride. I enjoyed it very much.

We also ate many delicious meals! It's always said that food of the themeparks is bad and expensive, but USJ food becomes more and more delicious! If you don't believe it, you should eat USJ food! My favorite food in USJ is clam chowder! It is good for our stomatch. I ate one inside a moule, and my sister ate nomal one. They made our bodies and heart hot! Especialy her stomatch was not in good condition, so it really worked and felt better.

We ate more food, but I show you only clam chowder. I want you to notice that USJ food is very nice!

The ZUNDA Jagariko

Today I got this snacks from one of my friend as a gift. She went to Tohoku area during the Golden Week. I envy her! It tastes delicious and a little salty. If I go to Tohoku, I'll want to eat them again.
Zunda is one kind of paste made from green soybeans. It has many theories of its name, the most famous theory is "break green soybeans", but it has another theory that Date Masamune cut soybeans with a sword called Jindachi. In Tohoku area, people called the jindachi "Zundatsu", then it called zunda in a corrupt form of Tohoku Japanese. It's interesting.
I hope I will be able to eat them again in the future.
