Food -in Japan-

Smoked Albacore with Brown rice and Broccoli

Last night, I got bunch of smoked albacore for some reason, so I made a home-made breakfast for mixi. 

Mixi frequently tends to be constipated even though she drinks water a lot, and I always try to feed her a food, which contains lots of mineral, like brown rice. It aids with her digestion. 

At this time, brown rice was mixed with smoked albacore to make her food more tasty, and broccoli helps her in digesting as well. Plus, adding broccoli also visually helps the food :) 

Some dogs have an allergy, so take a look at the nutrition of their dog food. Mixi usually eats a dry dog food which mainly consists of brown rice and lamb. So she is ok with rice or meat.(fish too) 

I also think that cats love this food, especially a part of albacore. 

try to make it and feed them :) they will be so happy to have a human edible food.

My Little Cutie

Hi everyone, 

This is my little cutie, Mixi.  She is 3-year old and mix of miniature dachshund, pincher, and maybe chihuahua. (I'm not sure what the breed she is.. she is a rescued dog.) 

She loves eating food like her mom(seriously, she's ALWAYS looking for food like 24/7), and hangs out around the kitchen. 

I actually made a home-made dog food for her in this morning, "Smoked Albacore with Brown Rice and Broccoli".  It will be posted soon. 

Enjoy this video!

French food-Sunday Lunch-

Last month, I was back in Japan for a couple of weeks. During the Japan trip, I had an amazing food over there. 

Each dish was tasty and all Japanese food were created with a sensitive seasoning. 

In all great food, there are a French restaurant in my town, and I've been obsessed with their food.  

There is the one word to describe its food, "deep" 

It's very very sensitive to figure out what the sauce is made by. All dressings are home-made. 

Their food is beyond the category of French. The taste can be admitted to any type of food. 

I can't wait to visit them next time :)
