Japanese-grandmother kitchen methods: food storage, cooking and pantry basics

Spanish-speaking home cooks (inferred) who want to waste less food and spend less. Mexican usage shows in the vocabulary (refri, tarja, fibra, calabaza en tacha for the ofrenda), with some Spain usage (vídeo, nata). Some videos are written for one or two people. Inferred from titles and descriptions; there are no audience statistics.
