Welcome to Litsy!

This #manga series continues with its slice-of-life gentle humour. Shiro gets a little more comfortable with being seen with his boyfriend Kenji & they meet up with #gay friends. It‘s the cooking, however, that really draws me in. I don‘t mind about the weird #translations (ie “pepper balls” for peppercorns). In fact, it can add puzzlement or an inadvertent giggle. In the next issue, Shiro will make black tea ice cream. Bring it on! #LGBT #comics

Today I have learned from comics how to cook taro roots: peel, boil, drain “to get rid of the slime,” wash the pot, boil them again in just enough water to cover, then stew with white dashi and mirin for flavour. Any of you Littens want to comment on this recipe? (The slime part has frightened me.)

Vicariously is the only way I will ever prep squid for cooking... 😳🦑😳
