    I’m just now diving into the world of meal prep as I was starting to really hate cooking every single meal from scratch each time. I found your channel over the holiday break and oh my god, it’s helped me out so much. I look forward to learning more from you and trying out your recipes. Thank you for creating this channel!

    haha as soon as you mentioned indoor shoes I wondered if that was something you'd taken from Japan! I think I'm going to keep the habit too, I like it a lot. The last time I went back to NZ and visited family I remember walking into my parent's house, my childhood home, and just looking around kind of lost. My mum asked what was wrong and my brother, whose wife is Chinese and whose family has the same indoor shoes policy, was like 'she's looking for where to put her shoes'. Yeah, I was. And it never stopped feeling weird to me the whole two weeks I was there, that there was no designated shoe removing spot at the front door.

    • @fresherica4402
      @fresherica4402  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha very glad you related! My whole immediate family does this now! There’s definitely no designated spot in my NYC apartment, though😹just a big pile of shoes at the front door!

    I like that your videos are kinda "home made" and not super produced! Gives a sense of a friend, not the celeb influencer that you are!
    Plus, also super dig your style in clothing, I find it quite similar to a millennial Japanese, comfy and neutral colored.

    I’m a new mom. And I absolutely hate cooking 😔 I think it’s because I don’t know how to plan and prep. I wasn’t exposed to many different foods growing up, and then I worked at a coffee shop and restaurants where I’d always eat the same things, but obviously I didn’t cook it so I never know what to make, and when I want to venture out, I don’t know if it’ll be worth buying new ingredients, what if I don’t like it and now I have some random seasoning or packet of who knows what just rotting there ☹️ I’m always winging meals and it makes me drag my feet all day. I’m looking forward to your channel and news letters. And the cooking classes!!! Thank you 🙏🏽

      Two suggestions! First, you can google "personal chef, Albany, NY" and see what that brings up. You can also seek out culinary schools within a couple hour radius and see if there are job boards through them where you can post a personal chef wanted ad! :)
