Also, I'm not sure what I'll be planning for Valentine's I've been very dissapointed for years so I might just NOT do a thing. Otherwise I might get depressed for the millionth time. But that doesn't mean I won't do an interesting meal. Even one for the month shall do it I believe.
Keep in touch!
This is okayu, the japanese version of porridge... Basically rice with lots of water so it's moisture and soggy and I actually found it really nice. It's said that okayu is generally made for sick people, so if you've got flu you get this and it's good for your health. Also people only eat this while sick and tend to go down in weight so when you get well people ask you "How many pounds did you loose?" instead of "are you feeling well now?" It's pretty funny.
This is mom's b-day fruit tart, we had it for late supper so she didn't want something heavy like cake. Sorry for the pic, the flash messed it up badly but hey, it was nine o'clock into the night. I couldn't help it. (u_u);
Here's one of my most favorite desserts, it's called 'pumpkin' thought it has nothing to do with real pumpkins, this is a delicious bread bun cut open and filled with custard, coverred with nice icing sugar. My mouth starts melting just thinking about it.
This is a lovely dessert I bought long time ago, strawberries and cream, all covered in chantilly cream. I admit I didn't like the chantilly since it was from those disgusting cans instead of fresh made, but the strawberries were absolutely delicious! Really worth the cost (about 2.7 dollars), i'm definately buying them again.
This is a project I did the other day, transparent noodles salad mixed with sweet chinese beans and grilled salmon covered with a nice sour ponzu sauce. Mom didn't really like it at first while looking but after tasting it she absolutely loved it. It has that oriental taste but is not overwhelming and the ingredients go really well toghether. You can have this as a whole dish but I like having many different dishes so I made some miso to go with it.
