モロッコ料理 Moroccan cuisine

コワーキングスペースの皆さんと、モロッコ料理を食べに行った! 初めてのモロッコ料理。野菜たくさんで、蒸す、煮るという調理法が多いので健康的だった。香辛料、ハーブなどがたくさん使われていて、体質や体調に合わせて調合することで、健康維持・増進していこうという、漢方のような考え方が今でも残っているらしい。医食同源、その通りだと思う!!

コワーキングスペースの皆さんともたくさん話せてとても良かった…。フリーランスや在宅勤務(デジタルノマド?)の人が多いので話が合うし。年代や専門分野は違っても、勉強するとか、面白いことするとか、何かを極めるとか、何らかの共通事項

があると話が弾む。

そして、職場の上司とか、この人と仲良くしておかないと仕事が捗らない、とかいう利害関係もないので、良い友人として、気兼ねなく接することができるという点もありがたい。でも普通のシェアオフィスだと、個人主義的であまり干渉し合わないところもあるので、ここはいろいろな活動が合っていいな。フリーランスでなかなかこういう機会はないので、非常にありがたしー☆

「違う会社だけど、同じ職場なんですよ」っていうのが面白かった。

I went to eat Moroccan dinner with my co-working space members!  It was my first time to try Moroccan food, and it was very healthy with lots of vegetables and many healthy cooking methods such as steaming and boiling.  The concept of maintaining and improving one's health by adjusting spices and herbs according to one's physical condition, similar to Chinese medicine, still exists in Moroccan cuisine today.  Medicine and food are of the same origin, totally agreed! 

It was great that I got to talk a lot with everyone in the coworking space...  A lot of them are freelancers and telecommuters (digital nomads?).  Even though we are of different ages and specialties, when we have something in common, such as studying, doing something interesting, or mastering something, it makes it easier to talk with one another.

Also, I appreciate the fact that I don't have a conflict of interest with them and can treat them as good friends without hesitation unlike my supervisor at work, or someone I need to get along with in order to make progress with my work.  It's nice to have this kind of activities, like going to exotic restaurants and playing boardgames once in a while with my "co-workers" because in a regular shared office, people tend to be more individualistic and don't really interfere with each other.  It's very rare to have this kind of opportunity as a freelancer, so I'm very grateful for it. 

It was interesting to hear "We work for different companies, but we work in the same office.", haha

サラダ。

風味豊かな、野菜と豆のスープ。Hearty pulses and veggies soup. 

野菜と豆だくさんのクスクス。クスクスは世界で最も古いパスタの一種という説も。Couscous with lots of veggies and beans.  Couscous is hypothesized to be one of the oldest forms of pasta. 

タジン鍋。具だくさんで、レーズンで甘みを出している。美味しい。Moroccan tagine with various veggies and meat. Raisin adds some sweetness to it, which makes it delicious. 

ミントの入ったお茶。めちゃくちゃ甘い……! Moroccan mint tea.  Extremely sweet!
