today's dinner**Yummy the calorie 0?**

Of course! I love cooking, too...and Love eating...

Ever since I came down to New York City though, I keep gaining weight...sigh sigh

but at least, I am enjoying my days here! Still..., I wanted to eat something yummy and healthy...and maybe low calories?

umm, not 0, though, sorry I lied:(

so I cooked a Potato jelly (no calorie!), its called Konyaku in Japanese. When you open the bag, it does not smell wonderful, but it is such a wonderful ingredients!

anyways, I cut them into dice, really roughly. you don't even have to care about the size, and cut the surface a little all over so that it will be flavored easily. then put them in a boiling water, and just leave them for 3 mins. to make it less stinky :) when you put the konyaku into the boiling water, you can put Daikon which is a massive radish, lets say. cut them roughly again, and if you want some carbs to fill yourself, cut potato real random, and throw them into the pot. after 3 mins, you take the konyaku out and just leave it. we have to wait Daikon and potato to be soft enough that a toothpick can go through really easily.

I am a big meat eater, too, so lets just put grained chicken breast. just fry them like rice on a pan, and pour Japanese sake a little...and throw the poor konyaku into the pan. now it doesnt have to be sitting outside by itself.

when Daikon and potato are soft enough, throw the boiling water, and let the mix of chiken and konyaku join! pour water, but not as much as everything gets bathed. a little less than that. pour sake again, but a little. maybe 1/4 cup? then pour Soy sauce. hmmm1/4 cup if you also have Men-tsuyu. if not, just put 1/2 cup of soy sauce. that works, too! pour 1/5 cup of Mirin or 3 tbsp of sugar. If you have dashi soup, thats perfect!!

then boil until the water goes away. stir sometimes so that the ingredients won't stick on the bottom of the pan burn.

voila~~~~:) low calorie dinner is done!

its not the fanciest thing ever at all, but its so important to enjoy our life, right? so why should I give up yummies? we can be on a diet even by eating Yummy stuff:) so stop eating Salad three times a day forever if you don't enjoy.

oops, its already 3am!!! gotta go to bed!

Good night New York!
