the future is the way of that
This week’s recipe was an attempt to redeem the failed kimchi recipe, from a book I bought at Half Price Books clearance. (edit: The title is “New Asian Cooking” from Confident Cooking series.) It covered most countries of Asia except China and India, and the Vietnamese recipes were authentic to what I know. This split …
Here is my coord from the Okashicon at San Japan Japanese fashion mixer last weekend. The theme was “Spooky Sweetness,” and as Metamorphose Temps de Fille was the Japanese guest of honor, I borrowed a jumperskirt from my bestie that was spookier than any Meta dress I already owned. I crafted/decorated the hat and earrings …
You might notice I hadn’t post recipe reviews the last 2 weeks, not including the fact that I was out of town last Friday. The truth is I did try out 2 new recipes in the intervening time, but they both failed and also looked like hot garbage, so I didn’t review them. But then …
This week’s recipe is a recipe by fans for the manga/anime One Piece, in the first volume of the “Feast” fan anthology. This stew recipe stood out to me because it was very similar to a Brazilian fish stew I wanted to try from an old Food and Wine magazine, yet had unusual additions that …
Ack, over halfway through 2024! I actually started this layout after August started because I had been busy with preparing for the cruise and had family stuff to take care of, but I’m pretty proud of what I managed to do. This month’s theme is One Piece because… of going on a cruise ship in …
I went on a 4 day, 3 night cruise from Los Angeles to Ensenada in Mexico and back last weekend. This isn’t normal content for my blog, of course, but first of all, it’s my site and I can write about whatever I want to, and secondly, I just wanted to share my cute photos …
This week’s recipe is a simple noodle dish from my latest cookbook, Cooking for Wizards, Warriors and Dragons by Isabel Minunni. I bought this at Half-Price Books and was intrigued by the inclusion of dragons in the title, which I thought surely meant that it had something to do with one of the several dragon …
Welcome to episode 4 of Fire Emblem Three Times the Ragequit where I actually ragequit 3 times even though I said I was gonna be cool and let it go. 1. Blazing Blades – this battle at the next destination introduced the pegasus knight and an archer against yet even more bandits. Cool, I thought, …
This week’s recipe is vegetable quiche, hold the crust, from the book Good And Cheap: Eat well on $4 a Day by Leanne Brown. I don’t believe I have ever made a quiche before, as it requires a lot of eggs and a crust. But this recipe does not have a crust, and I thought …
Coming at you with day 3 of the Fire Emblemathon. Once again, played one after the other over the course of 24 hours, not all 3 at the same time. Blazing Blade: uhh… still prologue, still holding my hand via simple battle tutorial, but we’re getting an appearance from the villains and more exposition about …
