Cookin'!
The other day, we had an impromptu party at our Omotesando Garden ladies-only house.
It was a lot of fun, with lots of different finger foods laid out. There was some great cheese, bread, and wine...
...and then the cool things came!
Here are some scallops! They were huge! You grill them, and as they open, you put a tab of butter and some soy sauce in. They were huge and delicious.
Next there were three lobsters to prepare:
It was my first time cutting up a live lobster, and it's interesting how when we cook meat we often don't realize it's had to be killed and cut up before we can enjoy it. Having to do it yourself really opens your eyes, even if just a little, to what has to go into us getting the food we need.
This is definitely the concept behind how Japanese people say itadakimasu, in thanks and recognition of the effort and life that goes into continuing the lives of our own.
That's not to say I'm not going to hope that others don't prepare it for me next time I decide to have some seafood! :-P
