And then I tried to cook.

One thing that clearly changed in me here in Japan is that I’m not adventures anymore! Plus I’m getting old…

Because I’m a girl I certainly like to shop but I just hate shopping for food, I just don’t like to go to the market and chose what I should cook, compare prices and read packages. That’s why here in Japan I avoid at any cost to buy groceries myself. My beloved husband does it for us (he probably gonna read this). The problem is that food in Japan always, seriously, always fool me big time. Never is what I think it is and never taste like I thought it would taste and worst, most of the time what I pick is just something that I HATE. And I have to make it clear: I do like Japanese food and by Japanese food I mean Japanese food coming from a restaurant. If one day you come to Japan you’ll know what I’m talking about. I used to like try a bunch of different flavors but not anymore!

So I was happy when I thought I’ve founded pasta for lasagna at my local Japanese market. I usually by from a local Brazilian market but is much more expensive. Sooo I’ve decided to cook that “lasagna” today…

Just an Italian homemade lasagna… BUT NOOOO!  The destiny had something different reserved for me… booo. When I opened the package this was what I’ve found:

That’s right! Japanese style lasagna! And by style I mean: small individual portions, everything almost ready to eat and looking like plastic… Why on earth I didn’t pay attention to what was written in the package.

So this is how it turn out:
