Healthy easy filling breakfast will change your day^^ As a Japanese mom who is closer to 40 years old, here are the breakfast …
You are lucky having such children, helping housework voluntarily. Great!
Thailand is also opening for tourists as you can see a lot of Singaporean tourists flow into Thailand. You are welcome too.
You definitely made me hungry! And I just ate lunch. 😅 It's lovely to see you connecting with your boys. 😊
I love that you shared that you are ok to ask for help and “not being strong, capable mom all the time”. I struggle with that as well. I love trying your recipes and I am eating much healthier since subscribing to your channel Thank you!
Slow it down man! Geez you have an accent and you can’t catch the receipt! We shouldn’t have to hunt for it! Slow it down!, !! Speak slow give us a chance to write it down! My god your a motor mouth!… are you really trying to teach or are you that narcissist and arrogant!?
In Ukraine, where I come from, it's different. In some families women are the ones responsible for house chores, but in most families men do help.
My husband, who is a Palestinian, helps me often, though he is the sole bread winner of the family. He lends hand with big shopping, vacuum cleans, takes out the trash and sometimes helps me in the kitchen if I'm not feeling well or overwhelmed with work. Miwa, thank you and I can also relate about Mom Guilt 😉
Don't get so caught up in work that you forget to take care of yourself, Miwa-san!
In America, it varies from family to family. My grandmother always cleaned, washed, cooked for everyone, and my mother almost never did housework. (She'd rather be outside doing physical labor than housework!) I love to have a clean and organized house (I love to follow Kondo-san's methods when I can) but between my mother passing away, getting a new job outside of the home, and getting ready to move all within a month, my house is reflecting my frazzled mind. @_@ I normally cook and take care of the laundry by default, but my husband fusses at me when I don't ask for help and try to do it all by myself. (I'm not used to asking for help due to my mother hating housework.) He doesn't mind housework and insists that cleaning bathrooms, taking out trash, vacuuming, and putting up clean dishes are his jobs. He pouts at me when I do these things instead of asking him to do them! XD I hope to one day be able to easily ask for help instead of my husband having to remind me that it's okay to ask for help.
We were American tourists visiting Nara three years ago and stopped for lunch at a noodle shop. My husband placed the order and the man behind the counter asked him something in Japanese. My husband thought he asked if we wanted hot noodles and he replied yes. We all were at first very disappointed to get a cold meal when the noodles arrived until we took our first bite. It was one of our most memorable and satisfying meals in Japan. We never had anything similar in the US. I am looking forward to trying your recipe.
My husband cleans the house! He vacuums daily and every Friday he does overall cleaning and bedding change. I do the kitchen cleaning daily and the cooking but I’ve been showing him how to do simple meal prep because I don’t want him to be without that skill-were a retired couple and I’ve heard so much about spouses who didn’t know what to do when one passed away so we try to show each other how to do things. When I was younger I did all housework and yard work but my husband wanted to keep busy when he retired so he started to clean 😂
Miwa, I have something else to say. I love how you describe how your children doing housework and helping you around the house builds a “mighty family”. I really admire that I agree with you! Lovely!
Good job boys!!!😁😁😄😆
I will wait for the Miwa restaurant to open.!😉 also, Mom guilt is a REAL THING for most of us, I believe. I fight It everyday as an employed mom.
Miwa! The US is opening our borders to tourists as well! That’s really great Japan may be, too. About the “self proclaimed gut health geek” you say that you are and wonder if others understand you’re description. If what you mean is not just loving soba but voraciously eating up the knowledge you learn about it, then sharing with everyone that learned knowledge with love and passion then I totally understand that and I thank you for with all my heart. In my experience I have not come across too many people in my life who send off your energy. One way I receive it is one of fiercely loving your family and caring about them so much that you completely take care of their nutrition making sure it’s as best as could be. It’s rare, at least in America. It’s was tough for me to not give in to the fast food, pizza. and sweets when raising my daughter. I tried, I took her shopping from 3 years old , always speaking and teaching age appropriately and showed her labels and tried to teach her what to look for, I thought of what was on her plate for the most part. But you taught me that teaching your kids good nutrition is so much more, living it first as an example being the first and most important way. Then you consistently feed them all they need nutritiously. You feed them your food made with love and thought. I really respect what you are doing. How can we love completely, live completely without our bodies being cared for first with food. I am grateful for it and I thank you for your channel and this video which for me is the very best one you’ve ever done! Much love from us and from the US!
Having the liquid from beans and noodles also helps add flavor and thickness to a dish
Hi Miwa , its great that you are learning your boys to help , i hope when they get older and if they get married and have a wife that they will help in the house chores too ! your husband was right about the baguette furakake try ., it looked delicious !
In Poland there are still families where woman have to do housework, but there's almost any chance that man can earn that much to support all family. Women have to work as well so it's hard to work and be perfect mom at the same time. But not for me, I expect from my partner to divide our homework 50:50 so we can enjoy our free time in the same amount.
Not weakness to work together that's called being a family. But that said mom guilt is real seeing all the things you didn't finish.. Instead of all that you have done. 💝🙏
Beautiful. Looks delicious. I love your channel and look forward to seeing your video and updates on your wonderful family. 💝🙏💝
Hello Mrs Miwa,
I enjoyed this video , the soba recipe is going to be made very soon, it is starting to get hot here in Europe .
May I say that it is NEVER a weakness to say or show that you are tired, drained etc ? On contrary !
It was wonderful seeing the boys learning to help around the house and do the little things they can. My heart was filled with joy for you and your family .
Sending a hug to you and your wonderful family ( If you don't mind of course !) take care !
I don't eat after 6 pm as well, but usually I don't eat until around 10 am. Just some coffee in the morning. Also funny, you have the same glasses I I have 🙂 So sweet that your boys help you. Here they say it is equal but I think it's still mostly the women how do most of the cooking and housework, and most people expect you to work as well. My husband helps but it is mostly with the heavy things.
I never got used to soba yu. My Japanese host mother always makes me drink it after a soba meal and I just don't like it. Even now I look at the cup with the thought do I have to???? hahahaha somethings never change how old you get. Furikake is so versatile. It's not just rice seasoning. It goes great with pastas (the kombu one would be great with that as well), as a dressing or topping for salads and vegetables… Or as topping on kara age and such. The dry furikake you can biy in those packages in teh supermarket you can also mix into batter. There was a ume shio one that works great with fish and tofu 🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️looking forward to your cooking class
Hello dear how are you i am waiting for your video you're most beautiful woman in this Earth & your voice o my goodness
I love that your boys are learning their comfortable home doesn't just happen by itself. 🙂 They see that you're tired sometimes, and are learning that they should help out when they can. They're very young still, but having that be normal will help them a lot as they get older, and also when they're adults. There's a reason why humans do better when they're part of a community, even if the community is small like within a family. ❤
(also I watched your video before it's time for me to have breakfast, which was a bad idea LOL)
As I mentioned in the video, finally Japan is opening the door to tourists!!!! Who is planning to come to Japan?? 🤩
