 A few weeks ago, an African American girl at work asked me if I make sushi sometimes. She said there was one time she wanted to eat them and bought some at Safeway, but they were not good. I have never had sushi they sells there but I can guess it would be something like I had in Canada. Rice is like smashed like dumplings! Anyway, since I make maki sushi sometimes and my husband does love them so much for lunch so I promised her I make some for her too. I told her yesterday, "Don't forget it's Sushi day tomorrow!"

Today's o-bento:
- Fried Pork with Peanut Butter & Soy sauce
- Rice with Lettuces underneath the pork
- Canned Beans
- Korean See Weed Salad

 I don't really eat pork in America but I found out my husband likes pork so I bought some. I can't really think of any recipes of pork but I looked up online and tried to make this. (http://www.kikkoman.co.jp/homecook/search/recipe.php?numb=00003845)  It was actually good.

アメリカには日本のような薄ーい お肉が無いので、と言い訳するのですが、豚肉の調理方法がなかなか思い浮かびません。
