grocery shop

I went to Motomachi in Kobe and dropped by a grocery shop at Motomachi shopping center.
I found a ice cream by chance and bought it.
I don't eat ice cream so often but it is new for me and My friend recommended the mango ice which is from Australia. It is rally yummy!
The shop staff gave me a little piece of the ice in front of the shop and I tasted it.
There are many kinds of food from many countries in a shop.

sweet food

When I was a student, I and my friends or family sometimes used to go to a spaghetti restaurant in Okamoto, in Kobe. There were many kinds of Spaghetti dishes there. We often couldn't decided one of them. Every dishes looked yummy. Tuna and corn, bacon and spinach etc. and Cream sauce and Tomato sauce...plus they also serve us Japanese sauce for Japanese, like soy sauce taste. The shop had opened at least 25 years, and it suddenly closed the end of last year. I heard the owner was too old for running the restaurant. It was not real Italian restaurant but I like the taste and the taste took me old days...do you have something sweet memories about food?

I found " Cookpad " on a web site. This is one of the Japanese popular site. They have a lot of food recipes on Cookpad.
We can get our each page for free and put our own food recipes and the photos on the page.
This site is the biggest site in this kinds of food site. Now they've got about 150,000 kinds of food recipes from the members.

I'll tell you why I joined it, because if you try to cook food with someone's recipe and we could put the food photo and thoughts on that recipe page. We can report anytime you want! so the members communicate each other.Some people really enjoy it and also we can write our diary.
The organizer, Mr.Sano, wants Japanese to maintain tradition of Japanese food so he made this site "Cookpad" . We learn lots about Japanese traditional food , someone's original food,and the other variety of food with beautiful photos.
I thought it was really useful and helpful for me. I joined it on 1st of October and I 've just started writing my diary there with food photos.
I like to cook, so I 'll check a recipe and try to cook it!
This is "fruit salad". I ate this at the Airport in Australia.
