精進料理

精進料理 (Shoujin ryouri, Japanese Buddhist monk cuisine) is vegan, healthy, simple, and...maybe too simple. I've been looking through the "Look inside!" excerpt on Amazon Japan. Carrot soup: carrots, butter, salt, water. Yeah, I think I see that. But I'm spoiled.

Still, I'm getting a lot from these recipes. にんじん、ばたー、塩、水．材料；作りの方.

来週ポテトサラダを作りますよ：パセリとマスタードをいれます。ごぼう(burdocks)のご飯ーーたぶん；にんじんを使います、でも、ごぼうがバージニアにあります。英語の料理本と、カレーのカリフアワーのタコス、「秋のボール」（日本の文化であること、わかりません）、昼ご飯の作ります。最近(these days)、料理が大好きです！

レシピたち

一年ぐらいがありました。忙しかったーとても！本を書きました。違うことたちありました。
一こと：exercise, good health, healthy調理. と楽しかったね。でもー日本語にconnect withできますか？[If all that's too garbled... One thing: exercise, good health, healthy cooking [I guess that's one thing]. It's been lots of fun. But--can I connect it with Japanese?
はい、すごい。ウェブサイトがfound.  ここ少しがあります：

I figure the small subject area will make me able to handle vocabulary (I hope!) in this limited area.

I forget words almost as soon as I read them, I'm afraid. But I already got 小さじand大さじ(teaspoon and tablespoon -- how happy I am to not have to learn metric for everything!).

I'm back in Kanji Study and have reinstalled Anki. Maybe I'll post the Anki deck I'm creating for cooking later.

And I am very excited to have found and ordered Grandma's Shojin Ryori -- a book on how to do the shoujin ryouri, Buddhist/vegan style of cooking, which is rare, mostly I just see picture books (!) -- and I got it in Japanese -- and I ordered it from the U.S. so it won't cost my firstborn in shipping.
