Valentine's Day

Do you celebrate Valentine's day with your boyfriend, girlfriend or partner?
Anyway, I will tell you how Valentine's Day is celebrated in Japan. Women give chocolates not only to their boyfriend but also to their boss or colleagues. Yes! It is getting very expensive day!!! However, 14th of March is called "white day" and men will give candies, cakes or dinner to women in return.
I think Japanese people like this type of events! It is very good for the chocolate companies.

I went to "a southern season". It has a large varieties of imported food. I bought some Parma ham, Iberico ham and coffee. When I went to the check out, they gave me a box of chocolates because I spend enough to earn reward on Valentine's Day.

Ninja Warrior

My husband found a Japanese programme called Ninja Warrior on Friday night. I used to watch it when I was in Japan. It had us sitting on the edge of our seat.
The programme was fun because I could hear Japanese commentary and see the subtitles in English. The commentator was quite funny, too.
It was filmed a few years ago and some of contestants looked young. Anyway, we want to watch it again!!!!!

We try to eat fish once a week at least, but it is quite difficult to get fresh fish. If it were really fresh, we could eat SASHIMI (raw fish). Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find it.
This time, I wrapped cod in foil. You can't see the fish in this photo, but it is underneath of vegetables. :-) Most white fish is more tasteless than pacific saury or mackerel.
We found frozen saury and mackerel pickled in vinegar at the Japanese supermarket. We ate them as SASHIMI. They are very tasty.
