cream pasta with my new favorite plate

This is my favorite plate from Giburi museum in Tokyo.

The black cat on the plate (ジジ) is a character from the famous Miyazaki Hayao movie, "Kiki's Delivery".

I bought this plate when I went back to Japan for holiday over the new year.

It's fun both eating and cooking with a new cute plateY

This is a traditional Scotish milk soup with cod fish.

The other day, when I went to Safeway (supermarket) with my bf, a lady came to us and suggested us to buy cod fish and make some Scotish milk soup.

I have never eaten scotish food so I was very curious.

The lady was very nice that she wrote a recipe on the back of her reciept and gave it to us.

After we came home, my bf cooked it.

It was very nice creamy soup Y

I had't eaten much fish lately so I was simply happy to get to eat fish as well.

I eat a lot of fish in Japan but once I came back to Melbourne, I tend to eat meat over fish.
It's because I found fish here quite expensive.

However, cod fish is not that expensive.

I shall come up with some recipes for cod fish and eat more fish from now on Y

Today, we also had grilled salmon for dinner!


Fish is supporsed to be good for your brain :)
I heard that it makes you more intelligent!

Let's see...

27 dresses

"27 dresses" is one of the best movies ever YYY

I watched it last night with my housemate.



昨晩、”幸せになるための２７のドレス”という映画を見ました。

これ、とーーーーっても良い映画　Y





OMG, I love him!!
He is really cute in the movie!

そして、彼がかっこよすぎです。

I love this movie so much that I watched it 2 times last night.

I want to watch it again tonight... (crazy)



Anyway, seriously this is a good movie.

映画、気に入りすぎて、昨日だけで２回も巻き戻してみてしまった！！

本当にいい映画！！

Since I was small, I have been having this habit to watch my favorite movies over and over again...like many times a day.

私は、子供のころから、気に入った映画は何度も何度も繰り返して見る傾向があります。

（１日に、本当に何回も）

My favorite movie in my childhood was "my neighbour totoro"
I used to watch this over and over again (according to my mum)
I still love this movie.

小さいころ大好きだった映画は、となりのトトロ。
これもよく、繰り返して見ていたらしい…
これも良い映画☆

I heard from my housemate that we were not supposed to eat meat on the easter friday.

Our friend came over for dinner today and we cooked together.




After dinner, we drew easter eggs!!

I love drawing.

I've done "easter egg drawing" before but it was long time ago, when I was really small.

I wanted to draw on more eggs, but we didn't have many eggs in our fridge.

It was a fun easter dinner Y

野菜ばっかりだったけど、いろいろ作ったからごちそうになりました！

お友達が遊びに来てくれて、一緒に料理しました。

食後は、イースターエッグ作り。

卵を、ゆでて、絵を描きます。

あんまり卵がなくて、一人一つずつしか描けなかったけど、楽しかった♪

new yuzu salad dressing

Febuary 25th's
lunch with my sister at home Y

my sister loves salad.
妹はサラダ大好きです。

we bought this new salad dressing called 'yuzuka'

(the one in the middle of the picture... the one looks like beer).

I suddenly wanted to eat yuzu so much that I couldn't resist it (even though it was a little bit expensive).

There were several yuzu dressing in the Asian grocery but my sister recommended this cute packaged yuzu dressing.

It might be just the package which looks nice...

The taste might not be nice...

Ah but the package looks really nice...


Conflict in my mind

It was a hard dicision to make.

Cute package vs nice flavour

After we came home,

I tried this dressing cautiously....



hey, it's nice!!!!

なんだか、すごい柚子が食べたくなって、

新しく、柚子のサラダドレッシングを買いました☆

妹の薦めで、パッケージがかわいいユズカに決定。

嗚呼。パッケージなんて、マーケティングの人が、売り込むためにかわいいのを使っただけで、美味しくないかもしれない。。。

でも、かわいい、、なんて葛藤をしながら。

食べてみたら、、、

あ、美味しかった。
