hi, i'm jenn

last night nachan’s friend miki came over to teach us to make soba.
first, you had to knead the dough.

then we had to roll it. we had a contest – foreigners vs japanese – to see who could roll a better sheet. we rocked out, and even had to help our Japanese friends finish theirs.


then we had to slice the sheets into noodles. took a long time and i was afraid i’d cut off my finger. i didn’t.


finally it was time to cook the noodles.



and then eat them. our meal was accompanied by nagasaki salad (well, that’s what nachan called it) and some grilled fish.

they looked scary to me, and were the only thing I haven’t eaten in japan (on chad’s advisement that “they taste as good as they look”).
and that was my night.
