Sauteed Pork with Salt Sauce

Hi there!
It is nice and warm again :)

Yesterday, when I got home, I found some aspirin under the table...
It seems like my boyfriend had a hangover!
Then, I opened the refrigerator and found that he has left and put his breakfast there...

He should have told me that he didn't feel like eating!
I could have saved time preparing!!!
Anyway, I served him that for his dinner, ha-ha.

Last night, since I could save time cooking dinner, I rebooked our plane tickets.
Actually, I needed to make a payment for the extra cost because the fuel surcharge increased. So I used this opportunity to cancel and rebook them. I found little cheaper ones due to the exchange fluctuations. They didn't make up for the extra cost, but were better than before.
Hope I'm all set now.

You know what! I hate my supervisor!
He is still in his 40s but has low energy and does everything very slowly. Also, he never listens to people. He just does what he believes is right. In addition, I don't like him cleaning his ears at his desk!

Today, I had a chance to translate another recipe.
It is my most popular recipe!
At this moment, 480 people have photo reported and said they liked it, so please try it out if you get a chance :)

Chinese Food

Hi!
Some of the cherry blossoms are already in bloom!
I took a picture of them on Saturday.
Unfortunately, it is raining and cold today, but once it gets warm, I guess they are going to be in full bloom!!!




Today, I have one good news.
Last week, I won the grand prize in the "Chinese food seasonings contest".
This contest was organized by Ajinomoto, maker of food seasonings, cooking oils and foods, drinks, and pharmaceuticals.
They asked for easy recipes using their Chinese food seasoning products.
My prize-winning piece is "Chinese Style White Miso Stir Fried Seven Vegetables".
I stir fried what I had in my refregerator.
For the seasoning, I used chicken stock with white miso which was leftover from the new year's day.
The chicken stock adds a nice rich flavor to slightly sweet white miso!
You could get addicted :)

The prize for this award was a meal voucher for chef Wakiya's "Turandot", where offers a new style of Chinese cooking inspired by the traditional food of Shanghai, Szechuan, Canton and Beijing.
He has a restaurant in NY, too!
I am excited to go there, but I wonder why I always win things not cash, ha-ha!

Luckily, I doubly won the second prize, too!
The recipe is "Spring Roll-Like Egg wrapped Steamed Rice".
It is very easy! I cooked rice with chicken stock and vegetables.
While cooking, I made crepe style fried egg (usuyakitamago) to wrap the rice.

The prize for this award was Chinese wok!!!
Oh my god, where shall I put...
I think I need a bigger kitchen someday.

I'm not gonna write in detail, but I lost prizes for some other big contests which are held every year...
This was my third trial but again I lost :(
Am I disliked?!

Okay, I have a lot more to write but I gotta stop now.
Goodnight!
