みなさんはウナギを食べたことがありますか？
日本では、夏の「土用の丑の日（どようのうしのひ）」にウナギを食べるのが伝統です。
ウナギはビタミンやカルシウムなどが豊富に含まれているので、夏バテ防止に効果があると言われているんですよ。
今回は、「土用の丑の日」から食品ロスについて考えます。

Have you ever tried Japanese dishes with eels?
「土用の丑の日」«Doyo no Ushi no Hi» is a summer tradition in Japan, where people eat eels.
It is said that the eel is effective to prevent summer fatigue because it is abundant in nutrition including vitamins and calcium. 
This time, we think about food loss and waste through this tradition.

A little bit about myself part 1 

Guadalajara ¿Pero eso no está en México? Sí, también. Como Barcelona en Venezuela, Córdoba en Andalucía y Argentina o Santa Fe en Granada y en los Estados Unidos. Guadalajara fue un nombre de ciudad más que los colonos por romanticismo o deseo de perennidad llevaron al Nuevo Mundo para eternizar el nombre de la tierra de sus orígenes.
 
Te invito a descubrir las dos Guadalajara, la Europea y la centro-americana. Yo te voy a compartir, para mí, una provincia perfecta para conocer la idiosincrasia española y el idioma español que aquí, en Castilla - La Mancha más que nunca, se puede denominar castellano, sí.

In questo episodio descrivo brevemente il dipinto Autunno, della serie pittorica dedicata alle stagioni, di Arcimboldo.

Due parole d'arte in italiano

Giuseppe Arcimboldo - Autunno

From cheap student dinners to quick lunches and easy camping meals, people around the world love instant noodles.

According to the World Instant Noodle Association, the world ate more than 118 billion servings of instant noodles in 2021.

While they are easy to make, instant noodles can sometimes be a bit boring — but they don't have to be! So if you'd like your instant noodles to be a little tastier, here are some easy changes you can make:

Add flavor
Fresh ginger, green onions and garlic are found in many Asian dishes, and adding them to your instant noodles is an easy way to improve the taste.

Then, try adding extra sauces, like soy sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, sesame oil or gochujang paste, among others. You could also try mixing a few of them together.

Add vegetables and eggs
Adding vegetables and eggs to your noodles will not only make them taste better — they'll also increase the nutrients in the dish.

Put an egg into the boiling water that your noodles are cooking in for an easy poached egg. You can also throw in some vegetables — like mushrooms, carrots or spinach — or cook them on their own and add them to your noodles afterward.

Add coconut milk
Add coconut milk to the noodle water to make a sweeter, creamier soup. You could then add some vegetables, meat or fish, and some lime and you'll end up with a dish that's similar to a Malaysian laksa — and just as tasty!
