留学したい!

最近、しばしば日本へ留学すると考えます。私は10年以上も日本語を勉強している事に気付いた。もう! 恥ずかしいわ! 10年以上の勉強と3年間日本に住んでいましたが、まだ小学生レベルの日本語です。いっしょけんめい勉強してないと思います。。。あんきが苦手なんです。読むスピードが遅すぎます。。。時々私は自分自信にがっかりする。

それについて、日本の田舎に住んだほうがよかったやなぁ。大阪好きやけど、田舎に住むことは寂しいと思うけど、日本語のレベルがもっと上たつする。ホームステイの学生や留学生の日本語も優れていますね。

今度日本に行く時は英語の先生としてではなく、留学生として行きたいな。

CoCo Ichiban Curry!?

INGREDIENTS
S&B Golden curry sauce mix. It’s gotta be this, or the whole operation falls flat.
Oil, 1 tablespoon
Onion, 1/2 cup, chopped or sliced thin.
Pork, lean, 1 cup, sliced thin or cubed.
Water
Brown sugar
Salt

1. Heat a sauce pan, pour in the oil, and saute the onions.
2. Add the pork, salt moderately. Cook until they start to brown.
3. Drop the heat to medium-low. Break the curry mix (which come in blocks, like chocolate) into little pieces and mix in.
4. As the curry starts to melt, start adding water, starting with one cup.
5. When the curry is totally melted, add brown sugar sparingly, until it suits your taste. At this point, you can add more curry, more water, or more brown sugar.
6. Drop the heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
7. Serve with white rice.

Some people like their curry spicy, so feel free to add red hot chili peppers (or any incendiary of your choice)if you wish. Also, you can add vegetables (diced potatoes, carrots, or asparagus spears) and meat (chicken, beef, shrimp). Coco’s serve theirs like pizzerias serve their pies - you can add as many “toppings” as you like.

Edit: “I was also in Okinawa and CoCo’s was/is one of my favorite places to eat. After moving back to the states we have discovered a flavor that is extremely close to the CoCo’s flavor. If you buy the Vermont Curry packages (at most asian stores) and add 1 to 2 teaspoons of S&B curry powder about half way through. Do not cook the curry with the veggies like the directions say. Just make the sauce. Add the cheese or whatever topping you prefer. It’s not CoCo’s but it’s close. Thanks!”

“The closest you can get to making CoCo’s at home is by using S&B curry (comes in blocks that look like chocolate). I melt one whole block in 2.5 to 3 cups of water, add cooked (to a crisp) bacon, a touch of brown sugar, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add more water as desired, because the curry tends to thicken.”

お花見の時間

今はお花見の時間だよ。ここにちょっと悲しい。。。まだが来てないからね。もちろん、お花見パーティしたい!

オハイオ州にいた時まだ桜が咲きてなかった。公園には桜の木を見た、でも芽ばかり見られた。ざんねん。。。やはり花見のきせつは特別だよね。ニューファンドランド州は桜の木がないから妬ましいよ。

実は、桜より梅の花を好む。でもさぁ、桜のおぼえは最も興味深い。ピクニックはたくさんある。桜味の物ははつばいします。最もじゅうようなのは、春がやっと来た。すてきだわ!

今年、地震のため人々はおちついたみたい。でも日本人の心はまだある。みんなが美しいお花をかんしょうしますね。

ブログしますか?

にほんに住んでた時ママのためにブログ書いた。(もちろんママは心配ていた。) 旅行の時に旅館とかホテルからめちゃ書いた。たとえば、別府とか,東京とかの旅行にいつも私の小さなパソコンを持ってた。

最近、何も書いてない。人生は仕事、眠る、読む、食べる、勉強とクッキング。でも仕事でフリータイムがあるから、たくさんのブログを読んでいます。もちろん、それは日本に住んでいる外国人のブログよ。留学せいとか、しゅふとか、サラリーマンとか、誰でもいい。全部が読みたい。彼らの毎日の生かつについて楽しく書いてあるのが面白い。

ブログはすごく便利よね!インターネットはなかった時外国人は大変だったと思う。せいきまつの後、みんなの生かつが便利になったでしょう?

There was another who came before you.He was a hero and your brother and my son.He fought the darkness, the darkness won.He fought bravely, and he died bravely,but he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save.And when he died, he died in vain.You need to know.You are not him.

There was another who came before you.
He was a hero and your brother and my son.
He fought the darkness, the darkness won.

He fought bravely, and he died bravely,
but he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save.
And when he died, he died in vain.
You need to know.
You are not him.
