pickThis is one of my favorite manga even though I tend to favor fantasy over other genres. This charming manga shows the stories of not only the men who work at the cafe, but also some of the guests who visit. It always left me craving cakes and pastries. #manga #lgbtcharacter #sliceoflife #cafe
More ANTIQUE BAKERY over breakfast. I wish I had some fancy cake, but eggs with hot sauce, bleu cheese dressing, and avocado will have to do.
I biked ten miles while I read another volume of ANTIQUE BAKERY. I‘m really enjoying all the baking in this series, and all the characters grow as people in this volume. Yay!
I‘m glad I started biking again, too. Now, if only I could find a non-stationary bike that fits me and doesn‘t cost the earth...
pick“Itadakimasu” is what Japanese people say to express gratitude before they eat. In volume 4 of this cooking/slice of life #manga, a gay couple in Tokyo continue to grow in their appreciation for each other. In this issue, their respective bosses use them as sounding boards. Shiro hasn‘t yet conquered his fear of coming out, but he does overcome his fear of making tempura. #LGBTQ #comics #translation
While the translation is sometimes awkward, I am continuing to enjoy Shiro Kakei‘s culinary adventures in this series. He wants to become adept at making tempura, but he‘s intimidated by the task. (I am too!) His mother‘s advice is that he needs “derring-do” to be successful at it. Bravery is not one of Shiro‘s strengths.
“I gotta use up the ketchup.” What? Weird! I don‘t use ketchup myself, but I was under the impression that it keeps for a long time if it‘s in the fridge. Also puzzling is that in Shiro‘s recipe, he just adds a little squirt of ketchup, not a lot, so it‘s odd that it‘s the dish he thinks of when he needs to use up the ketchup.
Shiro is sick and so Kenji is in the kitchen for a change. I was delighted to realize that he‘s making shiraae, which I tasted for the first time (several times!) on my recent trip to Japan. I made it when I got home and my fussy 10-year-old niece told me she loved it. And proved it by eating a lot of it. 😊
pickThis was a great book! This was suggested for me by my co-worker/friend at the library and I absolutely loved it! There are 14 volumes so I'm really looking forward to more of this story.
