Lately, the food (bread, rice balls, and lunch boxes) that my junior daughter brings back from her part-time job has become my meal (lunch) as I continue to work alone at home.

"I'm already in the mood to be a care-receiver"

I can make a light meal if it's simple.

Ebata: "And what happens to the lunches that you don't bring back?"

Daughter:"The lunch will be discarded"

That's what made up my mind.

I just can't get over the whole "throwing away food" thing.

Recently, there has been a boom in food loss, and I am trying to skip the process of peeling vegetables.

I mean, to begin with, "vegetable skins" are essentially "delicious".

My latest craze is to shove potatoes and carrots into curry without peeling them, and to use up all the leeks and spinach except for the sticky parts.

I eat apples whole because the skin part is delicious, and recently, my senior daughter taught me that biting into a whole pear is a good idea.

The food is both easy to cook and delicious.

Vegetables with skins, fruits with skins, please try them -- to begin with, the custom of "eating with the skin on" is a very recent (a few hundred years or so) and somewhat "conscious" trend.

Let's end such frivolous customs in this century.
