ALBERO Sofa

We finally found the sofa we want!!!



We happened to find it when we shopped in Yokohama. We've already been to IKEA and many other furniture shops but we couldn't find the one we want while seriously looking for it. So this was a result from a chance :D

However, we haven't bought it yet since it is pricey...

What we liked about the sofa is it's WIDE! It's not only wide in width but the length! It is hard to tell from the picture but if you remove the cushions, it can change to a single bed-like bench. But it doesn't look like a convertible sofa, which is COOL!!!



I know we don't need the ottoman (little chair in front) but a low (coffee) table. But the table is pricey, too X(

Shall I order it now using my darling's card?! haha

My Accomplishments

Here are my accomplishments in April.

I'm glad I do have some to post since I didn't have enough time to apply for the contests in March because we moved...

The first one was actually the award from 2/15. The result was recently released on the web. My Healthy Steamed Okonomiyaki using a lots of cabbage and grated yam won the grand prize!!! It was a contest to use the silicon microwave steamer (silicon tools are now popular in Japan). I
thought Okonomiyaki is too simple so I'm glad it was accepted :D

On 4/8, my Tuna Mayonnaise Kelp Rice Bowl won a prize at the kelp recipe contest. I used salt flavored kelp, which really makes food tasty and goes good with rice!!! My darling loves this kind ;)



On 4/15, my Okara Dashi Mayo Salad was published in the spring catalog of Kamada (dashi soy sauce products manufacturer). Okara is a bean curd refuse which is very healthy and low in calories. I love it but my darling doesn't like this kind of hard-to-swallow rough food. So I marinated it with mayonnaise and dashi soy sauce like a potato salad and he liked it in this way :D

On 4/15 my Healthy Black Soy Smoothie received a honorable mention at soy milk recipe contest. I love soy milk that I don't even drink a milk these days. I'm glad I'm gonna receive soy milk for a month as a prize. hehe

On 4/23, my Sausage TarTar Rolls won the Primaham Award. I gotta try this contest again since I never won the higher prize at this contest even I think my recipe is good... LoL

See you tomorrow ;)
