I grew up with 2 cultures in my home, Japanese and American. I enjoy food, and I love to cook as my hobby. Recently I've been trying to cook more healthy. The turkey at Thanksgiving. Chili, baked goods, Japanese food, Southern food, anything really. I love that cookouts and big dinners are mixed in terms of food. We don't just do potato salad, greens and cornbread but we do sushi and japanese noodle salad. To me those have become normal cookout foods. Turkey at Thanksgiving. We have 4 familes including mine at out house, so we get a big turkey. It always comes out moist and full of flavor and it's talked about until Christmas. I was making fresh ramen and because I was multitasking drained it but left it in the pot. The noodles were nasty.
