Japanese Food
PetCo, Bento Boxes and Weight Loss
I have been VERY busy with my new job at PetCo. So far I am enjoying working there, they (at least my store) take immaculate care of the animals and everyone that I work with is really great!
Another plus besides finally gaining on the money front is that I am so busy running around at work that I am staying in good shape even when I don't get a chance to jog.
Jelinas Reviews: Musha
Risotto with Parmesan Cheese
Musha

I went with a bunch of friends to Musha on Monday.
Their food is best described as "Japanese fusion" and "crazy delicious." They're sort of like tapas; mean to be shared and tasted.

The demise of the dollar In a graphic illustration of the new world order, Arab states have launched secret moves with China, Russia and France to stop using the US currency for oil trading By Robert Fisk In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar. Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars. The plans, confirmed to The Independent by both Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources in Hong Kong, may help to explain the sudden rise in gold prices, but it also augurs an extraordinary transition from dollar markets within nine years.Benihana Hibachi Style Steak
I love eating at Japanese Steakhouses and Sushi Bars, so I thought I'd try to make my own hibachi style dinner. My boyfriend helped me out and found some recipes for me and I took them and made them my own.
Serves: 4-6
8 NY strips
8 portabelle mushrooms
a dash of salt and pepper for each strip
8 tsp of sesame seed oil
8 tsp teriyaki sauce
On a grill or flat electric griddle, grill steaks until rare.
Bread Sushi! Instead of sushi rice, it's white bread. WOW!
This puts a whole new twist to the 'american style' sushi!
My boyfriend brought these back for me after his trip to California, they're from some asian bakery in Pasadena. It's a filling of ground pork with fresh and pickled veggies, seasonings, wrapped with white bread and a nori (seaweed) sheet.
Kabocha No Nimono
This is my FAVORITE thing to eat: Kabocha no Nimono. It's a traditional Japanese dish made of Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) that's simmered in a little water, sugar, dashi and soy sauce on the stove. It's so delicious, I could eat it everyday and never tire of it.Salmon at Tangerine
A few months ago I had a fantastic salmon with mango salsa at Tangerine in San Francisco. Tangerine is a casual/almost fancy restaurant. I mean, they can't be that fancy, check it out, they have ikea knives!
Healthcare: Japanese Style
MartiniLush had asked me about healthcare in Japan and I never got the chance to give a more detail overview. I was skimming the news just now and I saw that NYT had a pretty good article on it so I thought I shared.

He co-authored “The Art of Balance in Health Policy: Maintaining Japan’s Low-Cost, Egalitarian System” (Cambridge University Press, 1998).Did You Ever Wonder?

but darkens our skin?
