My hobby
(by "O-k")

I have been Japan for four years, the Japanese lottery seems alien to me ,for I have never bought one. Some people always go into rapture at the mere mention of lottery, although they are still living in obscurity, while money can bring about major changes to ordinary people like me, if I was lucky enough.

In Japan, I noticed that People tend to collect things, sometimes they are not aware of doing so, I am one of them, I have a surprise when I find something useful　which I don’t know I have , I always cut off from newspapers sketches of food dishes that I would like to refer to if I have time, I leave those very sketches for years, I believe that I may one day need just those very sketches, while I am ready to cook a meal , I often disregard them. I do have one of those days, suddenly an idea come to me, do it myself, put the menu into practice, but unfortunately I am not a born cook.

Sometimes I live under the delusion that I can do anything even when I have been proved wrong. As we can see, cooking is not quite so simple. One of my best friends is always invited to dinner, she has always been a light eater, and I am often been told of this “No, thank you, I am supposed to be slimming.” I am quite aware of that, the meat is as though as leather, the chicken is over done, there is too much salt in the soup.

Collecting food menu, from Chinese to Japanese as a hobby is quite different and has many advantages, relaxation for leisure hours, for me, as just looking at one of sketches is always a joy. It’s a harmless habit but the papers litter up my disk, every time I open it, loose bits of paper fall out in every direction. I am not sufficiently strong minded to be able to stop this .
