I'm an Italian-Canadian girl whose been living in Japan on and off for a few years. I'm at the point where I'm just as at home in Kitakyushu as I am in Toronto (my hometown). BUT, there are still plenty of cultural "quirks", especially since I married a Japanese man, that I deal with daily. My solution: food! Since Japan is a serious food culture, and I am Italian (all about the food), I figure I can make sense of life here through cooking. This year I decided to learn Japanese home-style dishes and post the recipies and my reflections on a blog.
