Today was another day pretty much free for me. I decided that while i have been eating mikan(mandarins), grapes and plums occasionly for my fruit intake i needed a bit more…so i went to the supermaket to buy ingredients for tonights dinner (tandoori chicken salad with a yogurt and mint dressing!!!) i also picked up some stuff to make fruit salad. Not having a lot of space in the apartment (Ie…any bench space) i was forced to cut it all up on a little table while in the bedroom…
It looked like this…
And while cutting food up in the living/sleeping area sounds a little strange it is often quite normal for those living in one bedroom apartments. And the end result was so good that i didn’t really mind much…
Trust me it tasted better than it looks….
Dinner was also a success….nice and refreshing to have salad and fruit for dinner cos it was so hot today!
Mind you, today shopping, for the fruit, salad ingredients + some tuna, bread and a kit kat (my three must haves after mandarins) it came to about $70 aussie dollars (6000yen)…So definitely not something i can do every week!

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
hey laura, I hope you can do some cooking when you get home to Brisbane, the photo’s looked very impressive, I’m sure it tasted as good as it looked. mum xxx
When I first came to J I destructively thought that I could eat like an aussie queen – I ONCE made a salad for three people that cost $108 aussie dollars…now its just simple tofu, negi and bean sprouts
your salads look delish- i am off to the fruit market now you have inspired me to make some scrumptious summer sangria white with lots of yummy fruit!
