Diet

Since school began, it’s been busy and cannot do much for my hobbies lately. Only thing I have been able to continue is probably my diet. My diet has been showing progress little by little. I cheat my diet menu quite often, so I guess I have been losing my weight so slow. I need [...]

Memorial Day Weekend

Today is Memorial Day and A.A. is hangover again. That means that he wants to have some big breakfast. He wanted to eat Biscuits and Gravy and of course, I didn’t have anything to make this dish. Automatically we had to go to café to get something to go. Then, I decided to have something [...]

All-American Hamburgers & Fresh Lemon Bars

On Tuesday, A.A. and I took Sophie and Misha to off-leash park. It was the second time for them: first time was the day before Misha got spayed. There were 6 dogs included male brindle Dane! He was not big as a male Dane, but of course, bigger than Sophie, so she was running away [...]

Mexican Feast!

On Friday, I made Mexican dishes: Chile Chicken Enchiladas; Guacamole; Salsa; Pico de Gallo; Mexican Rice.
It was quite work, but fun. Everything looked good, but salsa. I made salsa by Cuisinart recipe a little while ago. It looked bad, so as the taste. So, this time, I got a recipe from A.A.’s mom and tried. [...]

Party is finally over!

When I saw Misha came back from backyard last night (Monday night), I was speechless: her party hat was almost taken off and hanging around her neck like some big and ugly accessory. A.A. was excited and said, “I’ll let Misha free.” O.K. go for it. I was kind of worried if she licked her [...]

Apple Pie & Turkey & Mushroom Pie

I baked apple pie and turkey & mushroom pie on Sunday. One of the reasons I made pies is “butter” : I had 2 packages of butter and almost expired. The another reason is that I found some simple apple pie recipes and wanted to arrange those. One recipe is by Aya-san and another one [...]

Tortilla Soup & Corn Bread

This is one of my favorite soup. I got an original recipe from A.A.’s mom. She told me that she learned this recipe from her host family in Mexico. It’s easy, simple, and very delicious! I arranged some: added chicken broth; black olive; original seasoning instead of instant chicken taco mix; onion puree (since I [...]

Frog’s Eye Salad & Buffalo Chips

This is “Frog’s Eye Salad” I made the other day. As I mentioned in my “Kitchen Notes,” the recipe is adapted from Ronzoni Recipe. When I first saw this salad at A.A.’s house, it was pretty shocking: the acini pepe looked like frog’s spawn; lots of canned fruits; jell-o and whipped cream. I couldn’t understand why [...]

How Much and How Many…

I love music: I listen to various music and play piano. So does A.A. Though he doesn’t play any instruments, he loves music so much. Every weekend, he stays in his room and does something related to music: searching music; downloading music (of course he pays); listening to music, etc. Last year he purchased an [...]
