タイに行きターイ!

やってしまいました。

こんなに金欠なのに。
大丈夫かな??!
いや、やるのなら今しかない。
今月末の春休み。

な、な、な、なんと・・・

タイへの航空券を購入しました!!!
キャーーー!

3泊4日、何しよう〜。
いろいろと調べなきゃ!!
超楽しみだーー。

タイと言えば何?!

思い浮かぶのは:
タイカレー、トムヤムクン、パッシーユ、水上マーケット、タイマッサージ、ムエタイ、寺院、象乗り・・・

しかし宿の安さにびっくりしました。一泊なんと800円です!航空券は前もって買わなかったため、めちゃくちゃ安くはなかったんですけど、タイの食べ物とかツアーなどは高くはないと思うからまーいいかな?

楽しむゾウ〜〜!!!!

3月

待ちに待った週末です!
今日は掃除、洗濯、買い物・・・以外と忙しくなりそうです。
3月はイベント月間になりそうなので、今日から節約に励まします。
教会イベント
ビューティークリニック:何をしにいくのかは秘密。整形ではありません。
しながわ水族館:これは遠足で行くのですが、結構楽しみー。動物園より水族館の方が好きです。
春分の日:休日だ!どうやって過ごすかは未定。
学校でのマラソン:めんどーい。。
花見:井の頭公園での花見が楽しみです!やっと桜が見れるー。
友達と千葉&築地へ
ロスから来る友達&母のツアーガイド
あと家賃も払わなければならないし・・・
今月はどれくらい使うんだろう。
全部楽しみなんですけど、一番嬉しいのは今月末の春休みです!

ひな祭り

ハッピーひなまつりー!

今日も200円ビッグマックかな?
と思ってた時、ハウスフレンドが「せっかくのひな祭りなんだから一緒に何か作って祝おうよ!」
と言ってくれ、ロヂャーズへ買い出しに。
「買い出し」と言っても卵&すし太郎だけなんですけどね。
あとは家にあるものを使っていろいろと作りました。
今日のごちそうは:寿司ご飯、お吸い物、桜もち・・・そしてデザートにコーヒーとマーブルケーキ。
超ゴージャス!
ありがとう、素敵なひな祭りにしてくれて!!

きょうはたのしいひなまつりー♪
でした。

ってか、学校の授業で「ひな祭り」を教えるためにいろいろとリサーチしてたんですけど、おひな様を早く片付けないと嫁に行き遅れる、という言い伝えがあるんですね・・・

More Food

ok, now is March 4, 4:30 am in the morning, if i am telling you i am completely not sleepy, i am definitely lying. but since my roommate not here, so i can type fast and loud as late as i can. it is convenient. don’t get me wrong, i do like my roommate a lot. she is the best roommate one can ever have, at least for me it is. she is so cute and fun and considerate. but she has not been back for 2 night in a roll already. Wed and Thurs night. this is actually the first time i experienced this from her. i hope she is having fun with her friends, since she told me these days are her holidays, but not be in trouble.

since i have to write 4 of these, so i decided to hurry up and finish this last one. with some good pictures for you guys, if i can find some.

ok guys, hope u like the above pictures.

Udon and Bread

some of my friends are going back to their home countries, this time, Aussie.

before they went back, we went to this Udon place, which my friend and i used to go very once in a while, to have some of their infamous not expensive but yet taste wonderful Udon. it really is great.

3881

(picture above)  向こう、it is my friend who has a huge “vegetable” tempura, i guess if oil is never bad for us i “might” consider having one of those, but fried things, esp. tempura, never crave for them, McDonald’s french fries is another story though.

3883

(picture above)  this comes from my Udon, i ordered one with some white thing and a “half-cooked” egg, geez, i did a good deed for myself that day, haven’t been this generous for a while. not to mention, this great taste “green onion” you see, can be refilled as many times as you want. unfortunately for that shop, i am a HUGE fan of green onion.

speaking of “generous”, since my good friend from hk brought me some great load of food, i think it has literally been “weeks” i haven’t been to a grocery store, isn’t that amazing? well, not to mention i am too poor to do regular grocery anyway. but even that, i still manage to 頼む my lovely Chinese friend to get me some ¥400 麻辣 today when she went to 池袋、what can i say? lazy people always think of things to get around.

talk about this 麻辣, i love it soooooo very much not 1 single day i not think about this taste ever since the first night i tried it. my goodness. i had it tonight a few times, till 2 am in the morning, crying out loud.

3882

(picture above)  this is what my friend called “お風呂うどん”, soooooo cute!!!!! the bowl!!!!! it is made of wood, if u are able to tell from this small picture. so cute. so adorable!!!!! it really makes me have the appetite, however, i still like a real Udon instead.

3887

(ok, alert, this has nothing to do with the just mentioned event — friends leaving)

(picture above)  this is the INFAMOUS メロンぱん、the time i tasted it, nothing special. cause i bought it from a convenient store. but i was fortunate enough to have someone bought this fresh for me from a bakery, and … yes it is completely different, of course it taste better, and the best part is, the Crunchiness of the topping, it makes ALL the difference. PERIOD.

craving for ASIA taste

from the previous post, even an insensitive person can tell i do regard the more asian part as “the civilization”, nothing against any western もの、ただ i personally just feel way more connected with 東方のもの/こと。once again, no offense to any western cultures, just the way we were born, i really have absolutely no interests to spend more than 50% of my lifetime in somewhere that all i can see are natural born blue/hazel eyes or blonde/dirty brown hair, on tv, at work, on the street, even in my nightmares … or even way worse, people that are super overweight who comes from “somewhere somewhere”, or loads of people that gives no xxxx of fashion 365 days a year. not that i am super fond of those fashion crap like some idiot i know, whose whole life is 101% fashion and it invades/twists one’s personal conception sooo bad that it got to the point of no return — got no brain or common sense for other things. and honestly, it is not like this dude has much fashion sense to begin with … sad, isn’t it?

anyhow, enough mean words, let’s get to the point — one of the wonderful things of being here:

3897

Garlic Sprout ~

please do not tell me these green things do not look delicious … cause man, they DO taste great. garlic’s sprout? as i was told.

3889

Raw Liver

try not get deceived by just the look, or the name of it, these things taste just … wonderful … but personally i think i am the most impressed with the very first ones that i tasted, i will never forget them …

3896

Beef with Rice ^^

i cannot quite recall the name of this actually, but it tastes great, esp. the sauce.

ok, now i have some good things on my mind before i head to bed for real.

Hotmail blog is moving to WordPress …

a while back, keep on getting this reminder telling me that Hotmail is no longer holding space for our blogs, and we have to manually do something if we want to keep our blogs and photos around, and the place we have to migrate to is … man, when i see the name it seems so familiar, now i know, cause it is the infamous WordPress that Oakhouse has been using ~.

and while transferring, of course i just could not help but keep looking at the blogs that i wrote years ago, goodness, it was back in 2006. by looking at them, it just so giving me the old feelings back, NOW and THEN, so completely different. the 気持ち back then, i can still taste them when i read the words.

and i came across the following, i just could not help laughing.

牛肉のワイン煮込み(2)

My_Photo3

先週、「牛肉のワイン煮込み」を作った。

「うまい!美味い!!!」

その日は、ゴルゴンゾラとバゲット。ワイン。そして、煮込み。

大満足。牛肉は煮込む前に、フライパンで澄ましバターで焦げ目をつけつつ、バター風味にする。

そして、香味野菜と一緒にワインで煮込む。

翌日、残った煮込みに缶詰のポモドーロ、トマトジュースを追加。

またしても、グズグズ煮込む...弱火で。そして、トロ火にして。

この日は、パスタと合わせて。

これで、煮込んだ野菜も牛肉もきれに無くなった。

一応、最初から煮込んだ野菜の「クズ」を取るのに濾す。

次は、このスープをビーフシチューにする。

洗濯

僕は宿泊施設で働いている。いつも泊まり勤務。
洗濯はいつも家から袋に入れて持っていって職場でやっている。
昨日もいつものように休憩中に職場の洗濯機に袋を逆さにして洗濯物を放り込んだ
小一時間して洗濯が終わり、乾燥機に移そうとしたときに何かおかしいのに気がついた。
シャツに米粒が付いているのだ。
しかも一粒や二粒ではない。大量に。さらになにか黄色っぽいものまで。
よく見てみるとそれは高菜だった。
そこではっと気がついた。
出勤前にスーパーで買った高菜おにぎりを洗濯袋に入れたのを思い出した。

みなさん。洗濯するときはおにぎりが一緒に入ってないか注意しましょう。
掃除かなり大変でした。。。

それでわ。
