Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday, I was going to write my diary but didn't have a chance...
To make an excuse, I felt very drowsy at night and went to bed early.
It is very chilly these days so the weather might be the reason!!! haha.
Anyway, I will try my best to keep my diary.

The pic here is Valentine's chocolate cake which I made two years ago.
I used HERSHEY'S chocolate whipped cream for the filling.
I drew heart patterns on the cake.
Isn't it a lovely idea?!
The recipe is here.
I think I showed you most of my pretty Valentine's Day recipes ;)

Different story.
Recently (might be from the latter half of 2007) many food companies are promoting their products by offering free food product samples. They ask web users to create recipes or write about the products on their blog in return.
Whenever I find an offer, I apply for it. Luckily, I win most of the offers... In other words, I have a lot of tasks!!! I enjoy cooking but hope I can manage to use them all.

I have a many things to write!!!
There are a lot of new food products in Japan and they are all unique and interesting.
Hope I can write about them one by one every day.
About upcoming event-related food in Japan, too :)

Tonight, I am going to cook croquettes for my boyfriend.
I hate to fry things on weekdays but since he doesn't like sweet stuff, he should love them!
Also, I have another gift for him! Hope he likes that as well :)

Okay, I gotta go now.
Have a happy Valentine's Day!

Chocolate Chunk Muffins with LOVE Message

The three-day weekend was fast.
It is again the workday :(
But this week we have only 4 days to work, which is good.

This weekend, I didn't go anywhere.
It snowed on Saturday and was very cold, so I was right to have no plan.

On Sunday, I created chocolate muffins but they weren't good, so I tried them again on Monday. The LOVE Message on top was easy, but the muffins... those were hell in many ways.
Since I wanted to create something original, I got pretty tired going through a trial and error process.
Anyway, I finally created!
Here is the recipe in Japanese.
I will write it in English if anyone wants.

Oops, I'm running out of time.
Bye for now.

Bite-Size Sashimi Tofu

It is almost midnight.

I'm pretty tired tonight that I surfed TV variety shows on youtube without any purpose.
Actually, I used the Internet to reply to the comments and e-mails but couldn't thus :(

Monday is a national holiday, so we have 3 days off this weekend!
Since I don't have a special plan, I believe I'm gonna stay home and cook.

The pic here is "Bite-Size Sashimi Tofu".
I cut the tofu into bite size and put sashimi on top.
You eat them with soy sauce and wasabi like you eat sushi!

Okay! I'm really tired now.
I rewrote this diary since it disappeared once :(
I want to ge up early tomorrow morning, so good night!
Have a good weekend!
