Advent, Day 2

[kyburg]

Food.

Now, not your normal holiday fare - no, there are plenty of other places for that.

I'm talking Japanese. Normal, everyday, good ol' home cooking.

Yasuko-san's Home Cooking.

Don't know how I found this one, don't why I did - but I go back, time and time again to this food-oriented blog for ideas, recipes and oh - that's what you do with that....

Finding something that isn't a resource for "feast" foods when talking about Japanese cuisine gets pretty tough. Historically, average Japanese cuisine is a 'survival' cuisine devised out of things farmers hid from the ruling classes in the walls of their homes and the like. Finding something very ordinary, day-to-day and undeniably delicious? She's changed ISP and web providers at least once - I made sure I found her site again after she did.

Enjoy!

Thank you for this. I will probably not be able to prepare much of any of this for a long while, but it's wonderful to look at and remember.

Also? The gentle philosophy of the site is a balm to my heart right now.

Thank you.
