Lunch Line
I just came back from the screening of "Lunch Line". It was the documentary movie of Lunch at school in the U.S.A.
It was really interesting to see how they serve lunch in America.
I thought in Japan our school lunch was not perfect and sometimes I had to eat rice with milk or bread with Udon noodle and milk. So I was complaining about their combination all the time but when I saw this movie, I knew how Japanese school lunch is good for children....
Here in US, not all children eats school lunch but some of them bring lunch from home. So that is big difference from Japan. Some of private schools don't have school lunch but in public school we have school lunch and the menu is fixed and everybody eats same menu at class room. And most of teachers tried to make all students eat everything on the plate:)
And in Japan kitchen stuff make their lunch and put in big container for each classes and after that students serve their lunch by themselves. There are around 5 students charge for one week lunch to serve for class mates. So they don't need to hire extra people.
When I saw this movie, the most shocking word was "Before talking about local or organic food, we need to feed children FOOD!!" There are too many unhealthy commercial products. Comparing that I thought we eat FOOD at least in Japanese school...
Also after the movie, directors and some specialists of school lunch discussed about the movie and the problem of school lunch. And one of them said "Cooking is the one of the way of surviving and now we are losing this skill." (if my hearing is right) and it happened in kitchen in the school too. This word shocked me too... but I thought this is really true.
There are many problems because of political issues, economy and many things. I understand that. And I think there are many problems in Japan too. But we do very different things. So I thought if we could share our problem and learn from each other, that would be wonderful.
Now many people are concerning about school lunch in USA. Also in Japan our eating habit is changing and because of this many children became easy to snap or can't be calm are problems....
So I hope everyone can see this movie or hear about this movie and think about food and our future of children.

But on screening, they served hotdogs, quinoa salad, apples, drinks and frozen yogurt for desserts. at first I thought they should use these money for the budget for school lunch... but my friend taught me it's because of marketing... ummm, I see. This scale of marketing is American size I thought:) And I hope this marketing will be succeeded!! And I enjoyed them... so I'm trying share this movie with everyone!!
And thank you for Stefanie who brought me to screening. And she is now working for changing school lunch... I always enjoy to hear about her work and it make me think a lot about food:)

Ramen noodle in NY
Last week I really wanted to eat Ramen noodle for some reason...
But I have never tried Ramen place in NY so I asked my friends where is good to go.
Because in NY there are too many Ramen places to choose and most of them are very pricy.
Then I chose Totto Ramen this time as my friend suggested....
http://www.tottoramen.com/
But it was so funny because when I went there there was already long line. And customers were 30% Japanese, 40% Asian but non Japanese and others were non Asian....
And when I was on the line I was listening to others conversation, (I'm sorry but it was not on purpose... ) non Japanese Asians know a lot about Japanese restaurants much much more than me.... It was really interesting.
And Ramen was really good actually. The soup was very thick and strong but it made me feel more I was in Japan:)
But the funny thing is some people asked them to take home Ramen noodle or deliver Ramen noodle.
I thought they are so New Yorker... Because they order delivery everything!! And here, it's possible!!
But for Ramen noodle, the flavor and texture can be changed easily so they couldn't and when I heard they didn't delivery or to go, I liked that shop more:) lol
It's good to do what customer needs but there is good thing to do and bad thing to do.
So sometimes we can not be like "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

American Steak!!
When a friend of mine had a birthday, we went to Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn.
That restaurant is so popular as a steakhouse and they started more than 120 years ago.
When I went inside of restaurant, there was already steak smell all over the restaurant.
And it might be my imagination but everyone who was there looks bigger than in the city... lol
And steak was soooooooooo big!! But it was GOOD.... and grilled potatoes was nice too.
And the waiter was so funny.
And everyone told me that their cheese cake was amazing... so I tried... yes, it was....
So you need to keep room for dessert when you have steak.... but it's really difficult... lol
It was very AMERICAN night!!
And thank you for join me that night and happy birthday Nikola!!
Ice skating!!
Last Tuesday we went to ice skate at Chelsea Piers. Last time I did ice skate was in Central Park on warm day. So skate rink was melted like a pond and when I fall down, I got soaking wet. But this Sky Rink was indoor so it was much better than that.... but I didn't fell down this time!! lol
And important thing to do in skate rink for me is drinking hot chocolate!! :)
It reminds me my child hood. (I always had hot chocolate when I went to skate rink).... It was too sweet for me but because of ice skating, it was yummy... lol
