It is warm again during the day but freezing at night with a cold wind. Brrrrr...

This is another Valentine's day recipe ;)
I decorated a heart shaped cookie with a 3D LOVE message.

CRYSTAL BENZ

You really must see this! I was just searching for bling-bling stuff and found this car. I love bling-blings but isn't this too much?! But amazing!!! It seems like a company called GARSON has made this. I don't know who's gonna own and ride this car, but if I were to own this, I would cover the car at each stop. It should be tiresome! Ha-ha!!!

By the way, this reminds me of SWAROVSKI GINZA! It has opened last March and I forgot to visit there! Their interior is filled with bling-bling sofas, stairs, etc...

Anyway, it is warm today. The high today is 50F (10C), but we don't feel chilled at all! Hope this weather lasts and spring comes soon...

My Accomplishments

Damn my memory! I am sooooo stupid that we faced 45degrees wrong direction (east-southeast) yesterday when we had the Eho-Maki! I hope nothing bad happens... I didn't actually measure the direction, so we might have faced the right direction, yes!

After so long, I will post my accomplishments up to now.

On 1/18, my blog was selected at The Foodie BlogRoll's "Today 5 Random Blogs". Thank you for those who visited my blog through the widget ;)

On 2/2, I won 18 SOYJOY bars (nutrition bars made with whole soy and real fruit) at kurasse's (daily life information magazine publisher's) party appetizer recipe contest. I submitted my Bean and Spinach Stuffed Tomato Cream Ravioli recipe made from wonton wrappers. Oh, by the way, I didn't know that the SOYJOY is sold overseas until I search it today on the Net! Have you ever seen it at stores?

On 2/2, my money saving recipe "Colorful Okonomi Stir-Fried Cabbage" won a silver prize and was published in a magazine called "Ohayo Okusan". You guys know what "Ohayo" means, right? "Okusan" means madam. Anyway, it is not a morning magazine. I don't know why the magazine is called like that.

Last but not least, I sometimes submit my posts (recipes) to win product samples and won some stuff including funny stuff recently! On 1/21, I won a clay shampoo which stimulates hair growth. On 2/3, I won a jar of high-grade marmalade. On 2/3, I won a laxative pills that cleanses stomach and intestines. On 2/4, I won 2 cups of white rice.

Okay, all for today.
Have a good one!
