Food Combinations

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

A few weeks ago I bought ume flavored sake. I thought, I love plums, I love sake. This ought to be good. Yea, well, unfortunately for me, the ume flavored sake doesn’t go very well with foods in my opinion. I’ve tried it with other things before, and they didn’t ...

Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I got a new lens today. Nothing fancy. I thought it was high time I got a good lens for taking portraits of people. The depth of field on the lens is sick. And when I say sick, I don’t mean puking gross yuckiness, but freakin’ awesome I’m-in-love-with-an-inanimate-object sweetness. Seriously. ...

New Bento Special!

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

For this week, I decided that I’m going to make something different for lunch. Instead of tamago yaki, ham, or gyoza, I’m going to make chicken. Originally, I wanted to try out the Marukome miso yaki marinade since I did win free sumo tickets from them, but unfortunately, Mitsuwa didn’t ...

Sumo of a Day

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Today was a rather eventful and productive day. In the morning, I ran several errands. Bought oat hay, dropped off my tennis racquet to be restrung, shipped off Kazu’s 7-Eleven mugs, and drooled on some nice Nikkor 50mm lenses. Didn’t buy, just drooled... The photo album doesn’t count! >.>; When I ...
