The early Jin dynasty refers to the period beginning with Sima Yan's establishment of the Western Jin in 266, followed by the conquest of Eastern Wu in 280, thereby unifying the Three Kingdoms. This ushered in the prosperous era known as the Taikang Reign. Yet the early Jin dynasty also sowed the seeds of division. To consolidate imperial authority, Sima Yan lavishly enfeoffed numerous princes of the same surname, thereby laying the groundwork for the subsequent ‘Rebellion of the Eight Princes’ that would tear at the heart of centralised power.

今日は午前中仕事が1時間しかなかったので、ほぼ午前休みでした。
というわけで、近所にある広島焼きのお店に歩いて行ってきました！
ここ数日はあまり天気が良くなくて、雨が降りそうで降らない天気が続いています。
空もちょっとどんよりしていますね(´;ω;｀)

私が住んでいる町は大きな大学があるので、価格が安くておいしい、ボリューム満点のメニューがたくさんあるレストランが多いんです。
実は広島焼きのレストランを神奈川で見かけることはあまりないんですが、ここは美味しくて本場の味だということで定評があります。Googleレビューもとても良いです。
家族も大好きなお店でなので、年に数回は必ず行きます。
お持ち帰りもできますよ！

店内で焼いた広島焼きを目の前の鉄板の上にのせてくれます。
そこからヘラを使って切り分けて自分のお皿に盛りつけます。
最後にソース、マヨネーズ、紅ショウガをお好みで好きなだけかけます。
私はソースもマヨネーズも紅ショウガも大好きなのでたくさんかけます。
私は関東の人間なので広島焼きについてあまりうまく説明できないので、広島焼きの特徴を調べてみました。

広島焼きは、関西のお好み焼きのように具と生地を混ぜ合わせてから焼くのとは違い、上に具をのせて層を作っていく「重ね焼き」が特徴だそうです。 具体的には小麦粉の生地を薄くのばし、キャベツや豚肉、焼きそばなどを山盛りにし、薄く焼いた卵などを重ねて蒸し焼きにしたもので、皮が薄くて、キャベツなどの野菜がたっぷりなので、 お好み焼きやもんじゃ焼きと比べても、ヘルシーなんだそうです。

ミニサイズを注文しましたが、キャベツが多めでかなりお腹いっぱいになりました！

その後、少しスーパーに買い物に行きました。
実は前の日も同じスーパーに買い物に行ったのであまり買うものがなかったのでぶらぶらしながら、魚コーナーやお菓子コーナーを見ていました。すると、『買えば買うほど安さがわかります』という面白いフレーズを見かけました。この意味が分かりますか？JLPT N3レベルの文法ですよ！分かった方は是非コメントしてくださいね！

What is the difference between...?

Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, fierce wildfires around the Los Angeles area have sent residents fleeing from their burning homes.

Santa Anas are warm, dry northeast winds that blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast, moving in the opposite direction of the normal winds that carry moist air from the Pacific.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling multiple blazes, from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, with new fires breaking out in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8.

One of the fires is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history.

By early morning on January 9, more than 1,900 structures had been destroyed and over 130,000 people were under evacuation orders, with five people reported dead.

The fires have already consumed an area of about 110 square kilometers — nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.

Fires don't usually blaze at this time of year. But Santa Anas are happening later and later in the year, and this year's winds are much faster than usual — helping the flames spread faster once they ignite.

California had two extremely wet winters that caused lots of plants to grow, followed by a sudden drought that dried them out — which experts say has provided the perfect tinder for the flames.

AccuWeather estimated damage from the latest fires could reach $57 billion, with the weather company's Jonathan Porter saying "it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history."

Among those who have lost their homes are a number of celebrities, including actor Billy Crystal, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that he had lived in for 45 years.

Another celebrity who lost his home, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, wrote on Instagram: "Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire."
