Edamame and Goat Cheese Salad （枝豆とゴートチーズのサラダ）

I still remember the shock I got when I first time tasted beans salad at a cafe in Japan.
There is this fashionable cafe called "Afternoon Tea" opened up while I was in high-school,
and it was quite a event to go there to have lunch with saved up allowance.
"Afternoon tea" also has shops which are selling their bread, dinner wares, and home/bath apparel.
It's still quite popular in Japan.
Anyways, let's go back to the talk about bean salad.
Their lunch plate comes with bread salad bowl which is something like  garlic bread cubes, lettuce, rosemary  and Parmesan cheese tossed together.  Bread salad was also new to Japan at that time.
Bean salad  came as a side dish in a tiny bowl which looks very colorful with different kind of beans.
I think there are more kinds of canned beans, and it's easy to make bean salad with multiple kind of beans.
I use Japanese bean, Edamame, this time with red pepper and goat feta cheese.
It's very refreshing !

Easy Roast Chicken using a Toaster （トースターでローストチキン）

I started baking some meat and vegetable in a oven toaster.
After baking them for 30 to 40 min, everything from main to side is ready for dinner.
Chicken leg quarter spiced with fresh herbs and a clove of garlic is my favorite roast.
I accompany the chicken with potato or mushroom.
Depending on the size, put vegetable from middle of cooking or take them out so that they don't get so dry or burnt.
While baking chicken, juice or fat melting from meat, and I pour that on the meat from time to time so that meat doesn't get dry. Oh, herbs and spices can be contained under the skin. In this way, flavor will penetrate inside of meat while it's being cooked.
