My Accomplishments

Time flies. Now it's already time to list my accomplishments in July.

On 7/7, my Natto Curry Fried Rice was published in a food magazine called Lettuce Club (7/25 issue). It was introduced on P.112. It's a small article, but I am happy that mine was selected :D


On 7/8, my Sesame Fried Fukujinzuke Pork Rolls won the award for excellence at Shin-Shin corporation's fukujinzuke recipe contest. They asked for Mother's Day recipe using fukujinzuke. Fukujinzuke (福神漬) is one of the most popular kinds of pickles in Japanese cuisine, commonly used as a relish for Japanese curry and rice.

On 7/15, my Gochujang Miso Mayonnaise Minced Meat Rice Bowl won the 2nd award at beef and pork mince recipe contest. Spicy but mild taste makes you want to eat rice ;)


On 7/27, my Chive Gyoza won the award for excellence at Asahibeer's contest. This is my mom's recipe. Chive has a hint of onion flavor. It smells a little like garlic but you can gain strength from it ;) Yummy!!!

Last but not least, I submitted my darling's picture to Sapporo Beer Black Label photo contest. Can you find him here?! He-he ;)

Have a good weekend!!!

Where Do You See Yourself in 10 Years?

Good question! Kym posed this question on her post yesterday. I always think what I wanted to do NOW but I haven't actually thought about where I'll be in 10 years.

Let me think...



ME - In 10 years, I am a loving wife ;) Hope to have a child (a gentle boy like my darling I wish but maybe a hasty girl like me...). Having enough time for household work, I hope myself not working full-time but teaching Japanese cooking to foreigners part-time. In addition, maybe using YouTube or some other revolutionary tools, I want to share my cooking worldwide! Still dancing hula and going to GYM. I hope I always have a dream that keeps me motivated.

MY DARLING - In 10 years, my darling always loves me and so do I. I see him still doing whatever he wants to do. I don't want to limit his potential, so I support him no matter what he does. I might breath down his neck when I'm under stress, but not as often as now. he-he!!!

TRAVELS - I still visit NY every year with my loving family ;) Want to visit Hawaii and Okinawa within less than a decade.

Wedding Invitations

Today (8/4/2010), we are sending out our wedding invitations because it is "大安 (taian)", the luckiest day of the week in Japanese calendar :D

My darling did a great job putting stamps and stickers on the cards!!!

Our wedding reception is going to be small in scale, but full of our ideas! We decided to invite only selected people who we have special feelings.

I hope all can enjoy :)
