Restaurant review

I am interested in organic, healthy foods so I went to "Tamana-shokudou" in Minami aoyama. The location of the restaurant was a bit difficult to understand, but I could arrive at there. 

The atmosphere was very homey. The core customer stratum was women.



I ordered a daily set meal of dinner.
At first, a waitress served up a salad.


The main dish of the set meal was shiitake mushroom steaks.
There we're bite-sized avocados on the steaks. This steaks didnot contain any meats, so its calorie might be very low.




There was side dishes and they were pickles, hijiki and sesame and salt.
We could sprinkle sesame and salt on brown rice if we wanted.

There was a miso soup and all of them were very healthy and delicious for me.

In the restaurant, there was only one bad point and it was that a waitress forgot serving water to me.
However I like the atmosphere and healthy foods, so I want to go there at lunch time next time.

Why you should be eating avocados!

http://youtu.be/BdyIH7LfjmE

Many people tend to avoid eating avocado too much, because its fat level is high. However, the fat is very good for our bodies and it makes healthy skin, hair and nail. I like avocado very much, but I thought its calorie is higher than other vegetables, so I tended to avoid eating it frequently. After watching of the movie, I think it is not bad thing to eat avocado everyday.

Steve Gardner's concert

I was very impressed with Steve Gardner's performance and songs.
I had not listened blues, so the rhythm and atmosohere were very flesh for me.
After the concert, he told us about American food culture very much.
I was surprised that he was knowledgeable about food culture in countrysides and Coca-cola  very well. His lecture was so profitable for me.

2nd Harvest Japan's Charles Mcjilton

Charles Mcjilton has been the CEO of an NGO in Japan (2HJ) since 2002.
The organization contributes foods to people who are in straitened circumstances.
2HJ has provided food to Tohoku region, too.
Last year, he established the first incorporated food bank in the Philippines.

I was very shocked to read that each day in Tokyo 6000 tons of food are thrown away.
In the world, there are many poor people and they can not eat enough food to live.
We should decrease leavings of a meal.
