About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

I was going to suggest "cream of", as in "cream of mushroom soup", yours could be cream of veggies with scallops. But now I think that "cream of" implies tiny, chopped up veggies. So how about a "chowder"? It's a scallop chowder or seafood chowder. Yummmm, I'm originally from Boston and I *love* chowder. [Dictionary.net defines chowder as a "dish made of fresh fish or clams, biscuit, onions, etc., stewed together" but I believe there's an additional implication of some milk involved.]
In any case, I have to stop reading your blog before I've had breakfast, because now I'm really hungry and want some chowder!

Your scallop cream stew look so warming after a nice walk in the rain. Talk about contentness. BTW, your watercolor of your hometown looks nice. I would have never thought about the ocean looking empty until you mentioned it.

Ohayo-gozaimasu, Obachan...I stumbled across your blog from a link on another site and am so happy to have found it! This is fabulous. I lived in Kagohsima btw. 2001-2003 as a teacher at GEOS. I'll be checking back regularly.

> Amanda --- Welcome and thanks for your comment :) Oh, you’re from Boston! A Japanese friend of mine who had lived there for a couple of years told me how much she loved the seafood chowder there. I really wish I could visit there someday and taste it!
> foodpocket --- Glad to find another discount veggies lover （^▽^）
> onlyyu --- Oh it’s really easy if you use a store-bought roux like I did this time. (I'll post the pic. of the roux.) I chopped up veggies, sautéed them with scallops with butter, seasoned with salt and pepper, added water and boiled until the potatoes were done, then added the roux. If you make the roux yourself, it’d taste even better.
> MrsT --- Oh mussels would be nice, too. I wish I could find some here….(but they'd be really expensive.)
> lance --- Thanks for your nice comment :) It’s really encouraging.
> Min --- Thank you so much. Now that I got encouragements from many people including you, I think I'll be painting more often. I've been really lazy.
> Sarah --- Welcome to my blog. I’ve never been to Kagoshima, but heard a lot about Sakurajima-daikon. BTW, Kagoshima-ben is a total foreign language to me.
Hope you come back often :D

Hi Obachan, guess what? I recently went to a Jap dept store in Singapore and bought the exact same Jap cream stew packet as you (the one in the picture you took!)
But now, I hv a problem - there are no instructions in English! All I can make out is that I am to add 800ml of water. Can you pl let me know - am I also supposed to add additional 300ml milk or cream? The Jap instructions at the back seem to indicate that I have to add 300ml of milk or cream... but I'm not sure as it is in Japanese so I cld be reading it wrongly!! Pl advise!!
