First, here is our Michelin chef’s ketchup recipe.
We went to my favorite restaurant in Luxembourg sometime between the first and second lockdown. We were happiest (at least I am) when we were there. I said to a waitress, “Super! C’était parfait! Please give the chef our compliments on the wonderful meal! I wish I had a recipe for this ketchup.”
Lo and behold, this note of ingredients was given via the waitress woman. I guess the chef saw all the clean dishes after we ate with gusto. We cleaned all the serving dishes — clean enough so that they could have returned them to their cupboard directly!
Perhaps, we can cook something for those caretakers (medical doctors, nurses) who worked heroically this year. We can cook for those who lost their loved ones, those sicken, and those who feel isolated.
So far we have pulled through, by eating well, laughing and walking a lot in this forested country.
Let us move on. Stay healthy!
Okinawa 2 (I love Okinawa)
I visited Okinawa last month. Okinawa hosts 74 % of the U.S. bases on 0.6 % of the land. Despite overwhelming opposition, the Japanese government is taking the lead in efforts to build a new U.S. military base in Henoko Bay, emphasizing the deterrence value of the U.S. bases in Japan. Our policy makers want to proceed with the construction "shuku shuku to (calmly and solemnly)."
It is shockingly mindless and undemocratic to disregard the Okinawans' will. Here are some of useful websites on anti-U.S. base acitivities and protests (see the Japanese version – four of eleven sites are in English).
