About Me

From the suburbs of Toronto to the suburbs of Tokyo.

Coming to Japan in 1996, I fell in love with the country, its food, and then one of its inhabitants. It wasn't until we got married three years later that I started cooking Japanese food, and a decade on I'm still learning. This blog chronicles my cooking attempts as well as my life in general, and I hope you enjoy it.

A note about the many spelling and other mistakes in my writing: I rarely run a spell check because all the Japanese words I use make it take forever. I'm also terrible at editing my posts so I tend to miss lots of mistakes that make me cringe when I eventually reread them years later. Apparently my readers are the kindest people in the world because nobody ever points out my mistakes--but I wish they would! Please, if you spot a mistake of any kind, go ahead and comment. Be snarky about it, even. I won't mind.
