DAY 16: 3/2 (Fri.)
cloudy
Cooking Day


We first spend a little time working on our memory journals, and then started a cooking lesson.  We were planning to cook or make some similar dishes between American and Japanese food.  That is, we made pizza, biscuits, and jelly as American dishes and okonomi-yaki (Japanese pizza/pancake), onigiri (rice ball), and kanten (gelatin) as Japanese dishes.  We read the recipes written in English and enjoyed cooking for a while.  It took us about 90 minutes before the whole cooking was done, and we finally had a very delicious lunch.  Pizza and okonomi-yaki were especially yummy.  The cooking lesson was a total success.  Yes, we can be a real cook!

We had class only during the morning that day.  We then went home at noon, and spent the afternoon with our own host families.
