My first "Strawberry Cake"

It is the last day of this year....
I made a lot of sweets around this year.
And I wanted to close this year with my first "Strawberry Cake".
I know I'm no good at decorating cakes.... but, I'm sure it's delicious!


However, I was so surprised that this type of cake contains a LOT OF SUGAR in it! 100g for sponge cake, 150g for syrup, and 30g for fresh cream!!! Mmmmmmm..... better not to eat???

Sparerib

As I am working for a prefectural local office, I can buy local specialty at a low price. I bought a pack of "Fujizakura pork spareribs" the other day, and cooked them.

Looks delicious? Tastes delicious!(I guess, because I am a vegetarian!)

French countryside cooking...

I joined a cooking class today. There's a very tasty small restaurant in Uenohara-city, named "Yume (=dream) kitchen". The owner of that restaurant taught us how to make some French countryside dishes serving there. We made "gnocchi with blue-cheese cream", "ratatouille" and "grilled chicken with mustard sauce". The owner, Osada-san, brought their fresh organic herbs and we had them as salad. They all were SOOOO DELICIOUS!
