Got Something You Want To Say?

So I'm starting to cook Japanese dishes once a week and I'm tired after only two weeks. :beaten:

I took photos on my phone. I'll see if I can upload them.

Would anyone be willing to send me an invite for azntv? My email is [email protected]

Much appreciated!

Wynter,
re the Japanese cooking..

Why are you tired?? Is it the change in nutrients making you weak ,or standing up to do all that chopping?

In shock - I just decided to give up kissing, dating and everything else because I saw that dreadful kissing scene in Hotaru no Hikaru and now the main advert banners on Jdorama try to tempt me with the possibility of dating wealthy men - only at elitemeetings.com :rofl: How can I say no to that :hehe:

Just read that they're reportedly paying Jennifer Lopez $12M to sit on her ass and be a judge for American Idol... What a joke. :shakehead:

The latter. LOL! Actually, the chopping isn't so different then what we do for South Asian cuisine. It's just more maintenance (attention to pot/pan) and the procedure is lengthy.

Still fun to do and the outcome (so far) has been worth it. But yea, more time consuming than South Asian dishes.

Nope.

I've got something none of those judges have: self-respect.

Well they say there's no business like show business and I believe it. Cutthroat and backstabbing is not just in politics when there's a gig being offered.

Hmm, someone's unearthing old threads like there's no tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Feelin' good after 14 gyoza and a good-sized bowl of Haiga brown rice. :victory:

Article from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
-----------------------------------------------
It's neither brown nor white rice, but a rice that's in between. Haiga is a new form of rice that up until about a year ago was available only in Japan. With haiga, the rice bran is meticulously removed, leaving the nutritious rice germ still attached to the kernel. It's being touted as a healthy alternative to white rice minus the tough bran fiber of brown rice.

The basics: Haiga is not a variety of rice, but rather the result of a particular milling process. The name haiga, which means embryo or bud in Japanese, refers to the rice germ. The rice itself is a premium-grade short-grain rice.

The milling process was developed in Japan sometime before World War II in response to a severe vitamin B deficiency in the Japanese diet, resulting in an outbreak of beriberi disease -- a condition that affects the heart and nervous system. By keeping the rice germ, crucial vitamins and nutrients were also retained.

Milling technology has since vastly improved, allowing for mass production of the rice. Still, removing just the bran is a tedious and time-consuming process. Ordinary white rice goes through a milling process only once, while haiga is milled about eight times to carefully remove the bran layer by layer without disturbing the germ. The result is a glossy, semi-transparent rice with a hint of beige.

The rice is similar in taste to white rice with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Haiga is a good source of vitamins B, E and C.
