Green Curry from Muji

It was unexpected. Green curry kit from Muji is real good.
It tastes exactly like the one from the Thai restaurant on Polk Street in San Francisco. I know some of you know what I am talking about.

It's really hot for sure, but it's not just that. It has sweetness from coconut and very tasty. I made it with eggplants, bamboo shoots, shrimps, and green peppers. Although it was my first time to actually cook it, it came out really good. Well, all I did was cut veges, stair them, and pour all pastes from the kit though. oh, and added EXTRA sugar, too. haha

Anyways, finding things like that that help my cooking easier and tastier always make me happy smile:)

almost 100 degrees

I had forgotten what it was like 100 degrees outside.

Now I know. I can't sleep right. I can't eat right. I can't move right. Sitting on a chair and reading books is just pain in the a--. But put pains aside, it's always super exciting when the rainy season's over and you feel so much summer around you.

The past weekend, I went up the Mt. Takao with Kanta and friends. It was a beautiful day. We walked up and down for 5 hours. Then the treat was beer garden on the mountainside! Night view from there was gorgeous and above all, we were all really tired and hungry, so food + drinks were absorbed into the body. We had a really good time.

a pasta master.

One of my favorite meal is pasta. To eat, and to cook.
It should be simple enough to take less than 15 mins to cook. And it has to be real good.

I've been making lots of kinds of pasta for few years now, and recently, I get surprised by how well-made my pasta is. It happens one out of two or three times now. I seriously never had better one at any restaurant or in any country. They are GOOD! Well, I know I can say whatever I want here, but trust me, they are good.

However, as I mentioned above, it doesn't happen all the time. It most likely happens at home and ones for me and my buddy. Maybe because I have herbs from my garden. Maybe because I'm most comfortable in my kitchen. Or maybe I love me and my man so much and some kind of psychological power is working. Who knows :)

lately...

It's been a while since the last post.
So for last 2 months, things have changed a lot.
I've moved in with my boyfriend. The new place has an own balcony where I can have my little garden. Now there are basil, Japanese basil (shiso), small green pepper (shishito), parsley, green onions, cucumber and mini tomatoes. They have been growing well under this humid rainy weather.
And I've got a new Macbook! Still working on shortcuts and many things but I'm loving it already.
Lastly, I've got a new cell phone that I have been rejecting for a year now. My family worry about me too much without one, so finally I gave in.

Motivation for my job has been up because of my lovely Macbook.
On the other hand, I often have arguement with my boyfriend over silly stuff, which is absolutely a waste of energy and time. I have to work on that now.
