Hello, dear readers! My mother has been nagging at me for being what she says is "lazy" about writing decent articles for the BellaOnline Japanese Food site. I promise you that it isn't a matter of laziness, but there are very pressing concerns consuming me.

In fact, I would like to invite you, Japanese food lovers, to consider applying for this site editor position here at BellaOnline.com. We have a fantastic community of writers--beginning and experienced--that would welcome you and train you so you can share your love of Japanese food. Please visit any Bellaonline.com site page and click on the BE AN EDITOR link at the bottom to read all about the requirements and benefits. You'll love it. You don't need to be a chef but you do need to have a love of Japanese food along with a willingness to explore, experiment and share recipes of your own and those of others.

I also supply short articles for the Living Simply site and thought it best that I follow my own advice about simplifying life. That is why I'll respectfully step aside to allow a new editor to breathe some freshness into this Japanese Food site while I focus on living simply!

It's been great sharing this past year with you. I wish you all the very best in life.

Here's the latest and perhaps last article from the Japanese Food site at BellaOnline.com.
