Yoga

I love cooking, and I also love yoga!
I haven't written about it in this blog, but going to write about it once in a while from now:)

There are so many styles of yoga, but right now I practice Ashtanga Vinsaya yoga.
What I like about it is that I can talk with my body and be able to understand my body condition well. Of course, it's a good exercise, too. But I prefer to get to know my health condition through yoga.

Practicing yoga, I noticed these changes:
-Better understanding of what's happening inside my body which includes my internal organs, muscle and nerve fivers.
-I was little hunchbacked, but now I stand/sit straight.
-I was bow-legged, but now my legs are straight.
-Increased muscle.
-Able to control my appetite.
-More relaxed and became kinder.

I'm going to write about what I found out through my yoga practice and hope to share them with you!

カレー : Japanese-style curry (2)

In my last entry, I promised that I would write how to make Japanese Curry.
So, here it is;

Ingredients for 4 people:

Half pack(4 blocks) of Japanese curry block(I took picture after I used the blocks, sorry)↓

2 potatoes
1 carrot
1 onion
400g of chicken thigh
(about) 700ml of water
2 big spoons of oil


1. Cut vegetables and chicken into one-bite size.
2. Put oil in a pan and cook vegetable.
3. Put chicken in a pan and cook for a while. When the chicken starts to turn white, pour water just enough to cover the surface. Skim the scum.

4. Break Japanese curry block and put 4 of them in a pan. Mix the block until it melts and cook for 15 minutes and it's done!



I forgot to take a picture when I placed it on a plate...
We usually eat with rice, sometimes we eat with pasta or bread.
I'll upload a photo when I make Japanese curry next time.
