白い目で見る

しろいめでみる

to look coldly at; to turn a cold shoulder

彼は性格が悪いのでみんなが白い目で見ています。 かれ　は　せいかく　が　わるい　ので　みんな　が　しろいめでみています。 Because he has a bad personality, everyone looks at him scornfully.

（人）を白い目で見る: look at someone with disapproval / regard someone with disdain

for study snack day of the October Study Challenge, here’s the apple spice mug cake recipe I mentioned here!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp (30g) all purpose flour

¼ tsp baking powder

2 tsp granulated sugar

1 ½ tbsp (22.5ml) milk

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp (30g) applesauce

2 tbsp (16g) chopped apples

Directions:

put all ingredients except apples into microwave safe mug

mix with fork until smooth

stir in apple cubes!

cook in microwave for about one minute. (if needed, cook for additional 15 seconds)

sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top and eat! (careful, it’s hot!)

Notes:

try to use a sweeter variety of apple, otherwise your cake will come out a little tart. cut the apple into cubes about ½ inch in size.

for an extra treat, scoop on some ice cream or add whipped cream!

feel free to mess around with the amounts a little to get the texture and flavour you like the most - there’s a whole bunch of recipes for cakes just like this out there on the internet!

Kanji version of words usually written in hiragana

While these words are usually written in hiragana, sometimes you’ll see them written in kanji instead, so learning to at least recognize them is pretty helpful. Trust me on this, I got confused by 沢山 way too many times already haha
