So I made okonomiyaki today. Yes, I admit it, it's a little burnt. And it wasn't actually that good. Still edible, though.
I just found a couple of cooking videos on youtube so I'll try to fail at making a couple of new Japanese dishes within the next few weeks. I know I'm being very optimistic since I fail badly at cooking but okonomiyaki's really easy to make so I'm hoping all the other dishes will be as well.
Yay me!
