Improving my domestic goddess skills

Been going to a Japanese cooking class recently. The past time was my last time to go until September because of summer break, which is kind of disappointing, because the class is really fun. And I have learned so much from the three Japanese ladies teaching. Here's some pics from the last class. Lizzy stuffing eggplants slices with some kind of chicken. Not really sure why she was making that face at the camera. So, they told us to poke holes in the hot peppers so they wouldn't explode when they were being cooked. Liz and I went to town poking a billion holes in the peppers because we sure didn't want any exploding peppers. The teacher told us to be more gentle with the peppers. And here's the meal we cooked AND got to eat! Some kind of fried eggplant sandwich with rice, pickles, some other dish with seaweed in it, and miso soup, and green tea. It was sooo yummy. And the wonderful cooking teachers...Sakane-san, Maede-san, and Hanzaki-san!!

I'll miss the class too Katie. Those ladies are hilarious, especially Hanzaki-san :-) Guess we have a few months to try whipping up the recipes on our own now . . .
