What I Bought in NY

We always shop something interesting that we can't get in Japan in NY!

Mini Magnetic Salt and Pepper Balls
What an idea! No wonder I bought it :D


Revol White Crumpled Cappuchino Cup 18cl
I simply liked the idea Crumpled. I got it at MOMA store. (I love to shop there.) It was 3 for $36... pretty pricey X(


Say Hello Palette - Memoirs Of A Kitty
Very useful colors! I got it without question! The product is made in Canada! I found the Metal Hello Kitty brush set at the store which suki has, too :D


Just Bunches
I love crunchy bunches in the cereal and what an idea they took out the flakes :D I think the product is too heavy so that's why it is not available in Japan.


Frosted Shredded Bite Size Wheats
I love wheats, too! But also, it is not available in Japan because of it's weight, I guess...


Softsoap and Palmolive
Speaking of the weight, I bought many dish soap and hand soap products because they were way cheaper than in Japan. I got them all at less than $1. Amazing!!! SpongeBob was cute :D


Daisy Shaped Egg Fry Ring
I got them at Williams-Sonoma because they were 50% off. Their products are pricey but I love to window shop there. Lucky me I found them :D


Vapur water bottle
My darling loves this kind... so he bought it.


And more... LoL

Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai @ You Tube

I again took my hula video of the spring class in NY!

Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai is a very famous traditional Hawaiian song :) The song is about how wonderful it is to go to the beautiful ocean to pick all different kinds of limu (seaweed).

As usual, I posted it on my YouTube account. I took my dance for many times but just because the sun hid in the cloud in the second half, i used the very fast video which was kind of getting an unwanted suntan X(

Anyways, I will share this video with my blog buddies who keep in touch with me on a regular basis or Tipness club members who took this "hula hula" class. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel and send me a message. I will add you as my friend to share the video.

Non-Fried Korokke (Croquette-Like Potato Salad) - Video Recipe

Korokke (Croquette) is a parcel of food such as minced meat or vegetables, shaped into a cylinder or circle, encased in breadcrumbs and deep fried. I already posted my korokke recipe before but this one is different.

I served the potato mixture on a rusk instead of deep frying it with panko, which makes it really healthy. The rusk gives crispy texture like panko, so you can enjoy korokke in a different form.

BTW, it's a yummy tasty potato salad as well ;)
