Have you ever tasted tonkatsu? Me, I’ve tasted it many times because I have a friend who has an aunt who lived in Japan. She cooks it sometimes so I am able to taste it. It is so delicious especially the tonkatsu sauce …hmmmm… can’t resist. I’ve also tasted the tonktsu in Tokyo Tokyo, just like my friend’s aunt’s tonkatsu,it is so delicious. Also in our house, my mom cooks it because she searched its recipe on the internet.

I know you’re thinking what tonkatsu is.Let me introduce it to you. Tonkatsu originated in Japan. It is a Japanese style breade, deep-fried, and chopped pork. It is usually served with shredded cabbage. There are two types of tonkatsu, the hireand the rosu. In serving tonkatsu, it can either be served as a single dish or as a filling in a sandwich with curry, which is called katsu sando.

The Goddess Demeter

Demeter is the goddess of the earth, of agriculture, and of fertility in general. Sacred to her are livestock and agricultural products, poppy, narcissus and the crane. It is Demeter that makes the crops grow each year. The first loaf of bread from the harvest is sacrificed to her.She is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea. However, she has the daughter named Persephone.

But her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. In return, Demeter became sad and also gained anger at Persephone's loss. Demeter laid a curse on the world that caused plants to wither and die, the land became desolate. Zeus became alarmed and sought Persephone's return.

Hestia: Most Humble of Them All

Flame Princess from Adventure Time best represents Hestia, also known as Vesta, because of her appearance. Flame Princess is one of my favorite Adventure Time character so I chose her to be my Hestia.
Of the 12 Olympians, I would choose Hestia because I admire her humility and love for peace.

Hestia is the Greek goddess of hearth and chief goddess of domestic activity. She is the most charitable that she was willing to give up her position as an Olympian to Dionysus and stay not in Mt. Olympus but on earth with the mortals.
