Creation

I just realized how hard it is to come up with ideas for an original recipe... Here is my creation. It is so special to me! I feel like it is my own cute little baby. I used konbu stock and white miso paste to match with cream and mentaiko. The soy milk would be better.

I made a Keema curry for dinner just to use up all the ingredients I had in my fridge...

Cheap and Good

I can save a lot of money by cooking at home.  Mini crabs were on sale at chinese market, so I chopped in half and marinated last night. The crab is marinated overnight with soy sauce, sake, mirin, dried red chili, garlic, and ginger. 

I got stock and meats from the marinated crabs to make a Japanese style pasta.

I wish I can cook more Japanese dishes since I born as A Japanese girl=)

Love to the world

It has always been my philosophy to make the people around me happy through my love. Its is important to me, so I got a necklace that represent this "Love".... 

My friends also support me live with a positive outlook on the future. Example of this is my friend introduced me a song called "f**king perfect" by pink. The lyrics say that"you are underestimating your self, you are f**king perfect". The song cheer me up a lot. Thank you mana. Now I have to make you smile. 

Even yesterday when I was stuck in my room, my friend kindly invited me out to go shopping. I had KFC with her because it was toonie tuesday. Thank you, Sachina. Now I have to make you smile.


Finally, Thanks to Yuriya who helped me out to set up my blog...
