Japanese Variation

After spending a little time in Japan, I have been inspired to modify my meals with a little bit of a Japanese flair.

Breakfast:
 - I still love my toast and milk. I haven't changed this. But I learnt that the Japanese have rice, fish and a bowl of miso soup for breakfast. What an excellent variation to the routine!






Lunch:

 - Half a cup of white rice
 - 3-4 oz. salmon cooked (with soy sauce, teriyaki sauce or plain)
 - salad made with shredded cabbage and sesame-ginger dressing (organic)
 - bowl of miso soup (with wakame sea weed and tofu)
 - One slice of apple or other fruit

 



Snack:

 - Milk
 - Fruit

Dinner:

 - Same as lunch
 


Realization:
After being brave enough to eat just one slice of apple for dessert (after learning this behaviour in Japan), I realized that I often reached out and cut off a few more slices of apple. And then the realization hit me: all this time I had been reluctant to eat fruit for fear of not being able to finish the whole fruit and thus wasting any of it. Often the fruit would go bad because I would never reach out and eat it. Thus, I ended up wasting the whole fruit for fear of wasting some of it.



Fear is so silly. It serves absolutely no purpose.
