Buckwheat Apple Cake

I overslept for an hour this morning.
Is it because of this cold weather?
Or am I exhausted this week?
I always wake up 2 hours before I leave, so I didn't have any problem, but it was a bad start...

Back to my cooking.
Apples are in season!
So on Sunday I created Buckwheat Apple Cake!
Buckwheat flour is the flour used to make buckwheat noodles (Soba noodles). Better blood sugar control and a lowered risk of diabetes are expected :)
The cake was moistened with apples and was delicious!

Recipe in Japanese is here.
I will write in English if anyone wants.

Different story.
Yesterday, I received the photos taken at the contest!
I didn't expect to receive them, so those made my day :)

Tomorrow is a national holiday in Japan.
Oh! It's Thanksgiving in the US today!
Sorry I don't have any turkey recipe...
Hope I can introduce something the next year.

Have a great holidays!!!

Purple Sweet Potato Soup

Again, it's freezing today!
Especially in the morning, it was freezing to death!!!
(Compared to the winter in NY, it is far better though...)
But yesterday, I realized that I shouldn't wear a lot.
I wore 2 overcoats and it was too hot when I took a train.
Also, the cold let up at the time I go home.
So this morning, I tolerated the cold when I left home.

Anyway, on Sunday I created 6 new recipes.
6 is my quota, but I didn't like my photo framework overall :(
I was in bad form...

One of the recipes I created is Purple Sweet Potato Soup.
This soup is soy based and very healthy!
My boyfriend again had his wisdom teeth pulled, so I created this soup for him.
To tell the truth, I wanted him to get a flu shot before having his tooth out, since it wasn't that urgent. But he didn't listen to me...
His face got swollen excessively.
It seems like he cannot get vaccinated for a while.
See! That's why I told him.
Now the flu is going around.
I don't care if he catches the flu!!!

Ooops! I'm getting off the subject.

Recipe in Japanese is here.
I will write in English if anyone wants.
Does anyone know any site to post your own recipes?
I am looking for such page.

See you tomorrow!

Eat Breakfast!

It's freezing today!
Compared to last week, the temperature fell rapidly!

Anyway, let me make excuses.
There are some reasons that I couldn't write my diary on Friday and yesterday.

On Friday, I can't talk about this too loud, but I participated in the cooking contest that I wrote before.
This contest was held by Asagohan (Breakfast) Executive Committee.
They recommend everyone to have a breakfast by spending morning hours wisely.
Till September, they put out a call for the breakfast menu that could be eaten at home.
There were over 1000 applications and 10 passed to the finals!
And mine was the one that passed!!! (2 photos here are the menus that passed)
Unfortunately, I couldn't win the prize but I could meet Aya Ueto (an actress) who joined this event as a special guest!
The event site became a media circus!!!

Regarding yesterday, I was very busy.
I know it is because I took a day off on Friday...
So, I didn't have time to write.

I will come back tomorrow, if I have time :)

Brief note:
I canceled the next appointment for the cooking school.
I once thought about enrolling, but changed my mind.
It is too much for now.
