Silly Me...

Am I goofy, or what?!

I always think I make a silly mistake.

Last week, I cleaned my mouse at work, off the top of my head, for the first time in 5 years, and broke... I think removing the dirt was not a good idea for my well-thumbed mouse. Anyway, I bought a new mouse with a new mouse pad, so now I'm feeling okay, but silly me...

Then, yesterday, I received my new passport. I changed my signature to my new last name along with my change in last name without thinking anything but now I realized I didn't have to change my signature! I mean, it is just a signature, so I can use my maiden name!!! I called the passport center but they told me they don't accept any change until I lost or damaged it! Oh boy...

Then again, yesterday, I bought a new ink for my pen but the color was wrong!!! I totally believed the salesperson, so I didn't check the color. Hasty shopping, double work...

Then one more for yesterday. I put a hot pan on the table without a mat, so the table was roundly burned... X( I haven't done this for many years... but why yesterday?!

I sometimes think I need to think more before I act!

Have a good one!!!

My Accomplishments

Hi! I am finally listing my accomplishments in November.

On 11/4, I won the special prize at at Yodoran (iodine-enriched egg)'s contest. I made dashi based curry soup with an egg.




On 11/23, my Creamy Christmas Tree Salad using Takanashi's fresh cream was posted on Cookpad as a sample recipe using fresh cream. To make it creamy, I mixed avocado paste and fresh cream in mashed potato. Then mixed smoked salmon, cream cheese, and corns for the ornaments. The recipe was also printed on the recipe card!


On 11/25, my Egg Stir Fried Tomato and Ashitaba won the idea award at ashitaba recipe contest. Ashitaba is a green leafy vegetable, containing antioxidant flavonoids (chalcones) and is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals ( A, B, B2, C, B12, Iron, Potassium and more), chlorophyll, enzymes and fiber. To tell the truth, it has a strong scent and scum, so it was hard to cook X( Have you ever tried it?! BTW, the iseebi I posted the other day was the prize!!!

Also, on 11/21 I received a prize for participation at green lemon contest and peanut contest.

As usual, I won some samples. Seasoning for rice with green tea, mannnanhikari (rice shaped konjac food) sample, and GABAN dressings.

Could be better... I think I need to try harder X(

All the best!!!

Hair Accessory Gift

Yesterday, my friend sent me a cute beaded hair accessory with a card as a wedding present. Can you believe it is handmade?! I readily wore it to work this morning! Thank you!!! (Sorry I couldn't adjust the exposure correctly...)

BTW, DECO CHOCO that I reordered arrived! What do you think of the frames?! Cool, right?! ;D I put them into pink bags and gave them to my co-workers.

I am busy today, so I gotta go now. I hope I could list my accomplishments in November this week or so...
