Flower beans as a New Year's dish (cooking)

Kuromame (black soybeans) is a popular Japanese osechi dish (New Year's dish), but instead of that, we make simmered hanamame beans. Because it tastes good. A large kidney bean with scarlet flowers. In Japan, Nagano Prefecture, which has a high altitude, is the main production area, but recently, products from China are on the market.

Add sugar and salt sparingly to the beans that have been soaked in water for a day and night, and simmer in a pressure cooker at constant pressure for 20 minutes. When the pan has cooled, sprinkle with cinnamon and serve on a plate. With just the right texture, we can enjoy it during the New Year.

正月料理としての花豆（料理）

日本の「おせち料理」（正月料理）として、「黒豆」（黒大豆）はポピュラーだが、我が家ではそれに代わって「花豆」の煮豆を作る。味が良いから。大型のインゲンマメで、花は緋色。日本では高度の高い長野県が主産地だが、最近は中国産が出回っている。

一昼夜水浸させた豆に砂糖、塩をそれぞれ控え目に加え、圧力鍋で定圧後２０分煮る。鍋が冷めたらシナモンを振り、皿に盛る。適度な舌触りで、正月中楽しめる。

#my other poll blew up so I thought this might be appreciated as well #inspired by the one person who wanted daifuku as an option #langblr #studyblr #language learning #Japanese #food #culture #polyglot #benkyou posting #I absolutely had to add zenzai because I became obsessed with it when I had some for new years when in Japan #also I’m kinda sad I couldn’t fit in kuromame but I don’t think that honestly would be very popular compared to the other options

[quicktimeeventfull]

if you’re over the age of 25 you have an opinion on air fryers and instant pots the same way you once had an opinion on justin bieber or the spice girls. like it literally doesn’t matter whether or not you, personally, care about them, you will be assigned an opinion by your friends, family and coworkers.

#maybe you still have an opinion on justin bieber and the spice girls and i respect you for that #i have an instant pot and i use it to make lentils #my special instant pot recipie is lentils & black beans & soy sauce & an absolute fuckton of sugar & a normal amount of msg #this sounds insane but its good #its just like kuromame but good for like. everyday eating. lentils in it to make you stronk.

Serei como você!

Mihawk Pai x filho Leitor Masculino (male reader)

Você sempre teve uma admiração pelo pai e sonhava em seguir seus passos como espadachim. Havia ouvido histórias sobre as incríveis habilidades de Mihawk e seu legado como um dos maiores espadachins dos Sete Mares.

"Oi, pai!" Você exclamou com entusiasmo. "Posso passar o dia com você e aprender algumas coisas?"

Mihawk, como um homem de poucas palavras, assentiu com a cabeça e convidou você a entrar. O castelo era uma imponente estrutura, cheia de tesouros e armaduras daquelas que foram derrotadas por Mihawk ao longo dos anos.

Vocês caminharam juntos pelos corredores escuros e passaram por várias salas cheias de armas antigas e mapas do Grand Line. Enquanto exploravam, Mihawk explicava a você as histórias por trás de cada uma das lâminas.

Após essa pequena excursão, Mihawk decidiu que era hora de mostrar algumas técnicas de esgrima para você. Vocês se dirigiram ao enorme jardim dos fundos, onde imensas rochas serviam como alvos para os treinos de Mihawk.

O primeiro exercício era observar e aprender. Mihawk agarrou sua espada e começou a duelar com um manequim de madeira. Sua agilidade e precisão eram de tirar o fôlego. Você assistia com olhos arregalados, tentando absorver cada movimento.

"Essa é a Kuromame!" Mihawk exclamou, desferindo um golpe fatal no manequim. "O golpe mais poderoso do meu repertório."

Você ficou maravilhado com o poder destrutivo que seu pai possuía, mas também sentiu um arrepio passar pela espinha. Você começou a perceber o quão longo e desafiador seria o caminho para se tornar um espadachim tão habilidoso quanto Mihawk.

Depois de uma breve pausa, Mihawk olhou para você e disse com seriedade: "A verdadeira essência da espada não reside apenas na força física, mas também na elegância do movimento e na paciência para esperar o momento certo para atacar."

Inspirado pelas palavras do pai, você decidiu tentar. Segurando uma espada de madeira, ele começou a treinar seus movimentos, repetindo incessantemente as dicas e técnicas que Mihawk lhe dava.

O dia foi passando e, à medida que o sol se punha no horizonte, pai e filho continuavam a treinar juntos. Mihawk estava orgulhoso de como você estava progredindo, e você admirava a determinação de seu pai e sua dedicação à arte da espada.

Ao cair da noite, Mihawk e você voltaram para o castelo. Sentados à mesa do jantar, você compartilharam histórias e risadas, fortalecendo ainda mais o vínculo familiar que os unia.

Enquanto se preparavam para dormir, Mihawk colocou a mão em seu ombro e disse: "Você tem muito potencial, meu filho. Continue treinando e nunca perca de vista seus objetivos."

"Eu sei pai, vou me tornar tão forte quanto você".

LOOOOOOOOM

Kuromame on the window sill.

She's got a point, lmao... But a small child of 8 or 9 years wouldn't do such a thing, right...?

Mira, you're scaring her!

She's grown so much. I love her!

Japanese New Year Tradition: Osechi Ryōri

In Japan, starting off the New Year is more about spending time with family than it is about partying. It's a time of year when people go back to their home towns, pay their first visit to the local shrine, and sit down to some traditional food. And food doesn't get more traditional than osechi ryōri. The tradition behind osechi ryōri (お節料理) goes back centuries, to the Heian period (794-1185). Ritual offerings of food used to be presented to the gods on sechinichi, or days that marked the changing of the seasons according to traditional Chinese almanacs that were used during this time. The most important sechinichi, of course, was the day that marked the beginning of the New Year. On this day, special dishes were offered to various deities, and also eaten by members of courtly society. Over the centuries, these traditions made their way to the rest of society, and by the Edo period (1603-1868), they were being practiced commonly around Japan. They combined with other beliefs, notably that on the first days of the New Year, any kind of work — including cooking — was to be avoided. There are two competing theories as to why this was the case. One was that the gods shouldn’t be disturbed by the sounds of cooking on the first days of the year, and the other is simply that the beginning of the year was meant to be a time of rest, when everyone — particularly the women of the household, who did most of the work around the home in those days — could enjoy a well-deserved break. In the beginning, osechi was quite simple food — vegetables boiled in soy sauce and vinegar — but over the centuries, more and more types of food were added to the osechi ryōri lineup, turning it into a much more elaborate affair. Almost all of these dishes have a special meaning, related either to the name of the food in Japanese or to its appearance or other special characteristics. These are some of the most commonly eaten dishes, and their associated meanings: Kuromame (黒豆)     Black beans are meant to be a symbol of health, with the associated idea that the person who eats them will be able work hard in the year to come. Kazunoko (数の子)     This dish is herring roe, but the symbolism is connected both to the large number of tiny eggs, and to the meaning of the Japanese words. Kazu means “number” in Japanese, and “ko” means “children.” The wish behind this item is that the next year will bring many children. For an extra layer of meaning, look to the name of the fish in Japanese: the word for herring is nishin, and if it’s written with an alternate set of kanji (二親), it means “two parents.” Tazukuri (田作り)     This dish is sardines boiled in soy sauce. Historically, sardines were used to fertilise rice fields, and this word means “rice field maker” in Japanese. Symbolically, this food is eaten in the hopes that the coming year’s harvest will be plentiful. Kohaku Kamaboko (紅白かまぼこ)     Kamaboko is a kind of fish cake, and kohaku means red and white. The colours represent Japan (most easily found on the country’s flag), and are generally considered to be good luck. According to some, the red colour is meant to prevent evil spirits, while white represents purity. Incidentally, Kohaku Uta Gassen is one of the most popular TV shows that Japanese people watch on New Year’s Eve, and it’s a singing competition between two teams comprising of the most popular singers in Japan — the white (male singers) and the red (female singers). Datemaki (伊達巻)      This is an omelette mixed with mashed shrimp or hanpen (fish paste). It tastes a little bit different from the tamagoyaki that you might be used to, but it’s rolled into a similar shape, which happens to look like a scroll from the side. That’s why this particular food is associated with learning and scholarship. Kurikinton (栗きんとん)     These are sweet dumplings that are made from chestnuts. Because they’re yellow in colour, they’re associated with gold, and eating them is meant to bring financial prosperity in the year to come. Kobu (昆布)     This is a type of seaweed, and this word is closely connected to the word yorokobu, or happiness, which is what this food is meant to bring in the New Year. Tai (鯛)     Sea bream; the symbolic meaning here is something of a play on words. Tai is part of the Japanese word medetai, meaning happy or joyous. This fish is often eaten on special occasions, and it’s one of the dishes that is served as okuizome, the traditional food that a baby is fed about 100 days after he or she is born. In osechi, it’s meant to bring joy and happiness in the new year. Shrimp (海老)     The kanji for shrimp mean “old man of the sea,” playing on the sea creature’s bent back and antenna that look like whiskers. This food is meant to bring longevity. Satoimo (里芋)     Also known as taro root, this dish is eaten in the hopes that the family will be blessed with many children — just like many small taro tubers grow off of the main tuber. Renkon (蓮根)     Known as lotus root in English, this vegetable has very distinctive holes when it is cut in cross sections. Because you can see clearly when you look through these holes, this food is eaten in the hopes of having a future with no obstacles — or at the very least, obstacles that you can see clearly. Just as it goes with any tradition, not every dish is eaten at every household, and some dishes fall out of favour over time – sometimes because younger people don’t particularly enjoy eating them, or because tastes change. (One newish item that you’ll find in osechi ryōri spreads, although it doesn’t have any special meaning yet, is roast beef.) The osechi dishes are, for the most part, served in elegant lacquer boxes known as jubako. Some families prepare the osechi themselves, while others choose to order theirs from department stores or convenience stores. For those who wish to purchase a beautifully crafted osechi for their New Year’s celebrations, department stores like Takashimaya and Keio stores offer fantastic options — though they certainly don’t come cheap!

Happy New Year!

(Pictured above: my homemade osechi ryouri New Year’s meal for 2023! Left box contains kurikinton, kuromame, namasu, kamaboko, shrimp, datemaki, kobumaki. Right box contains nishime.)

Hope 2023 is treating you all well so far! ♥️ I got some unexpected but exciting commissions irl that are taking up a lot of my free time, but here’s how progress (??) is going on fics so far!

Wrote about 7k words of Strange Bedfellows chapter 4…and then edited out about 2k of that, because I realized it was messing with the pacing of the martial arts portion. (Gotta have those wacky martial arts, right???) About half of the scenes I took out will probably be re-edited and shuffled back in later, where they won’t slow down the action.

Reworked some of Here Comes the Bribe’s outline to make the climactic battle slightly more…climactic. 😅

Writing is such a process! It always takes me four times as long to do because I nitpick as I go, and/or spend 38 minutes to write one (1) sentence. I don’t talk about this much, but it’s also a constant uphill battle against my own brain. I’m diagnosed with (and being treated for) ADHD, but even with medication and counseling, it’s sometimes hard for me to get things done in a timely manner, especially the things outside the scope of my day-to-day work. BUT I don’t say this as an excuse, or because I want to be pitied or anything like that. I say it because I’m going to keep chugging through at my own pace despite the hurdles both internal and external, and I hope that it also encourages you to take things one day at a time, do the best you can given your own circumstances, and be patient and forgiving to yourself as you work towards your goals in 2023! Take a moment to appreciate yourself if you’ve read this far, okay?!
