Ratatouille

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

I made the French dish ratatouille as my contribution to the potluck tomorrow. I got it from the Nintendo DS “game” I bought a while back. Cooking from the DS is actually a lot easier to do than looking at a book. I just have to hit next or say, ...

Crazy Diet…

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Right around my birthday, I discovered that I fell into the overweight category according to the BMI. I’ve never been overweight before, so I decided that I’m going to go on a diet and lose weight. So far I’ve lost 4 lbs. In about a week and a half. I ...

Los Angeles Sights

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

So living in Los Angeles county, you’d think that I would have visited a lot of the tourist spots. You’d think, but I haven’t. Some places I haven’t been to (at least as an adult): Queen Mary Angels Walk Catalina Island Mulholland Drive Olvera Street Original Farmers Market (I think I might have been there when ...

Moonlight DVDs

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

I got the Moonlight DVDs I preordered a few months back. It reawakened the fangirl in me. So far I’ve recreated my Moonlight playlist on my iPod, purchased a few more songs from iTMS. I’m watching the TV series again. I’ve watched all the episodes at least once. The later ...

A Vigil for Shawn

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Last week, one of my high school friends past away. When I found out, I was quite in shock and in disbelief. Of all the ways to find out, it was through Facebook when Bobby, his younger brother, posted a R.I.P. in his status update. Tonight was Shawn’s vigil. Chai ...

Ding! Bard 34!

Monday, January 19th, 2009

I was in a party with Zisia, Pixi, and another person whose name I can’t remember at the moment. Oops. We did the Fields of Valor from level 24 to 26. It was fun. :) Better than what Zisia and I started out doing, killing worms and getting less than ...

Sukiyaki-tastic!

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

I made sukiyaki for dinner tonight. It came out good, although far from perfect. I got a bit lazy when it came to reading the instructions... Oops. Once again, I took tonight’s dinner from November 2008 of Kyou no Ryouri. Yellowtail and scallops something... Well, that’s not what it says ...

An Uneventful Birthday

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Today is my birthday. There were a lot of things I could have done today. Most of which I didn’t do. I didn’t go to Disneyland. I didn’t go out drinking. I didn’t go have a special birthday lunch, nor a dinner. No, today, I went to work, and I ...

Donabe, Makes Yummy Food

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Ok, so the donabe I received for my bday was small for 4 people. I think I hear people snickering at me for thinking it was bigger. Hey, first time! I ended up using our electric nabe. It was also too small for 4 people. Luckily, it was for 3 ...

Umeshu Tasting

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

I finally tasted the umeshu that I made back in May 2008. The ume flavor is wonderful. Unfortunately, it’s too sweet! >.<; It might be good if I use as a mixer. Sprite and plum wine, anyone? I should think of other concoctions I can make with it. Oooh, if ...
