Fw : Food Battle: Shabu Shabu vs Sukiyaki

Food Battle: Shabu Shabu vs Sukiyaki
by Kieu on OCTOBER 22, 2012 in JAPAN


What is the difference between shabu shabu and sukiyaki? Let us eat.
Shabu shabu and sukiyaki are two different types of Japanese cuisine where the food is prepared and cooked table side. Both are similar in style in that both used thinly sliced meat and vegetables and are usually served with a dipping sauce. However, the similarity ends there. The method of cooking yield two completely different type of cuisine, both delicious in their own way.
Sukiyaki is cooked skillet style and offers a rich flavor, seasoned with soy sauce and sugar, while shabu shabu is like a hot pot, cooked like soup, and tends to be more savory and less sweet.
Up until now, I thought I had a favorite between the two. That all changed during our recent trip to Japan. So which is better?....

Bringing up Baby Bilingual: French words for English workbooks

French words for English workbooks
If your preschool child is anything like mine, he has amassed quite a collection of coloring books and workbooks and maze books--in English.  But which parent spends more time sitting with him, reading the directions, supplying the scissors and paste and marker caps, encouraging him to stay in the lines and off the carpet?  Moi.  The one who only speaks to him in French....

Raising a Bilingual Child in Japan

Parenting is something that is never easy. Being a first time parent is even more difficult since you basically don’t know anything. You can of course read books on the topic, scan blogs and talk to friends and family with children, but at the end of the day, the best way to learn is by doing. Trial and error seems to be how most new parents make their way through the complicated world of raising a child.

As parents, we are concerned with all aspects of our child’s development (or at least we should be). How are their gross motor skills? How are their fine motor skills developing? Do their vision and hearing seem to be good? Are they developing problem-solving skills? How is their language developing?....

Progressive Buddhism: Crying at a Buddhist Funeral, by Adam Goldberg

Crying at a Buddhist Funeral
The room is a blurry haze; the bright orange of monastic robes saturate her vision and her feet seem to hover as she moves to an open chair. Her mind is distant and she can’t feel a thing but for a sensation of cold emptiness that presses against her chest, growing and growing, threatening to freeze her. She raises her eyes – they are heavy and wet with tears – but the faces of those around her are tranquil; at ease, as if someone has not just died....

Echo of the Dharma - A Bilingual Blog on Shin Buddhism 日英両語による浄土真宗ブログ

On this blog, I would like to discuss different issues of the world in the light of the teaching of Pure Land master Shinran (1173-1263). このブログでは、世間折々の問題を浄土真宗の宗祖・親鸞聖人の教えに基づいて考えてみたいと思います。 (a stone image of a small boy and a girl on the street in Arashiyama, Kyoto)
The Year’s First Visit to Shinto Shrines
In Japan, many people visit Shinto Shrines during the first three days of the New Year's holiday in order to pray for a good and happy life throughout the year - for happiness and lack of misfortune in the household, traffic safety, success in business, success in learning, good health, good fortune, longevity, encounter with an ideal husband or wife, safe and easy delivery of a baby, and so on. Those wishes represent our selfish desires, and if gods were to listen to the millions of wishes thrown at them and fulfill them, they would go totally crazy.
