A bunch of photos that I am editing... I'm trying to explore a new concept.
I don't call it a photoshoot because I cannot be any more amateur as it is; more like me trying to explore a new way of taking photos rather than me just plastering my face in my bedroom with products.
Anyhow, good things are worth the wait right? *thick skin*
That being said, I do have quite a number of reviews I want to share but yet to take pictures.
It's been so long since I did a review or video for my monthly favourites so don't complain!
Well, I hope to complete at least half the things I plan to do by this Saturday since I will be home whole day with Clara coming over to watch How I Met Your Mother.
Yes, that will be my 4th time rewatching the whole series from Season 1; that's how much I love American sitcoms. I am super psyched about Season 9 of How I Met Your Mother, Season 6 of The Big Bang Theory and Season 2 of 2 Broke Girls.
CBS really have all the shows I love!
So over Gossip Girl, I lost interest by Season 5... Everything is getting too draggy.
Sure, the clothes, accessories, shoes - fashion inside is fabulous but just that alone can't keep me watching. The love lines in the show is getting a little stale with similar incidents occurring, just minor tweaks here and there.
Have I mentioned that Friends is the mother of all sitcoms? I highly recommend you guys to watch it. 10 Seasons will promise you hours of laughter. Sure, it's an old show but hey, good humour never gets old. They are classics and such can withstand the test of time.
Okay I'm always digressing. I'm sure by now you guys know I've gotten a new family member - Hikaru.
I love my son! [Okay, he is a puppy but I'm calling him my son!]
He came home with me with a lot [and I mean A LOT] of health problems but he is so much better now. So good to see him growing healthily. He is super ugly right now because I took him to a groomer [my friend, Jewl] for a shave.
So now he looks awkwardly naked... People thinks he is a Chihuahua instead of a Toy Poodle and well, I can totally see why.
I'm sorry for this wordy post. I shall end here for now and go get ready to head down to Starbucks. They have new Starbucks card and a top up of $80 will give you a Starbucks thumbdrive [which is mad cute, by the way.]
No surprise if you've been reading long enough - a Starbucks fanatic here.
I have bottled Starbucks at home for that emergency perk me ups, other than that, I still prefer to have my coffee made by the barista in the cafe itself.
Lastly, please leave me a comment, if you are still reading there... somewhere ):
Ending here with one of the pictures from the bunch I'm editing right now.
I actually edited this video over the weekend but was unable to upload it due to the weak internet connection in Malaysia. Trust me, I tried at least 10 times before giving up.
First thing I did when I got home was upload this in HD!
After like... many many hours later, it was finally successfully published!
Here it is:
I am going to show you the pictures though most of them are in the video because I forgot to film the sushi making part.
Took this before we began shopping
All the om nom nom we bought.
Before cooking... picture first~
The Ready Made Ebi Fry we bought
Before cooking
Pssssshhhhhhhhhh~
Looks yummy already right~
Yes, looks damn good hurhurhur
Now for miso soup~
Comes in a pack of 8, bought it from Daiso.
Idiot proof way to cook this. Just add about 200ml of water per pack.
Mix the paste in and bring it to boil and we are done!
Rice! About 2 cups for 2 of us.
After it was cooked, we added the powdered sushi mix
The rice became very sticky and thus the volume shrunk.
Mix accordingly, though they stated one packet is for 3 servings, we only used barely half a pack for 2 servings.
Now for the Teriyaki Chicken~
We need Chicken breast.
Settled on this Teriyaki sauce instead because we felt this looked better~
Can be used as marinate or glaze.
Chicken boobies ready for marinating!
From what we learnt from our google search, poke holes in the chicken and then pour the marinate sauce over it and marinate well.
Yep, this is about enough.
Into the fridge for 15 minutes!
Easy right?
time to pan fry!
I feel so shy for the chicken cos it looked so naked.
Looking decent!
Sizzle sizzle
It will take a while before the chicken gets cooked so be patient.
And we are done!
Lastly, Tamagoyaki.
Of course, we need eggs.
For the seasoning, add a teaspoon of mirin, soy sauce, sugar and a pinch of salt. I think Mirin is probably the only one you need a picture of so here's the one we used.
I used a tamagoyaki pan [can be found in daiso as well], oil the pan with a paper towel and pour a thin layer of beaten egg (with the seasoning added).
Basically, repeat and keep rolling the tamagoyaki until you are done!
Finally...
See my sneaky dog!
still eyeing at our awesome food~
Sorry the eggs look a bit charred... wasn't in my best form that day >.>
Want some?
Yes, it taste as good as it looks!
Cheeeezzzuuuu before om nom nom
Hungry just blogging about it~
いただきます!
After we were full, time to make sushi!
We have rice and tamagoyaki ready already, our other ready ingredients include:
Ebikko
Chuka Hotate
Sorry it's blur, didn't check the pictures properly
Crabsticks
Inari
Mayonnaise
Of course, we have seaweed too but that's pretty idiot proof so I didn't take a picture.
All set and ready to make Sushi!
Pretty easy for Inari; just open the pockets and stuff the rice then top with whichever ingredient you fancy!
Okay I just realised I didn't take any pictures of the seaweed rolling part cos both our hands were too dirty -_-
But anyway... we soon ended up with a ton of sushi!
Le awesome food.
Well, fast forward, after dinner we grabbed our ice cream again!
no really , apparently quite a few animals were judging me during my trip at the zoo with my B1, Tsuriki. more coming, yes it is finally a non review post. anyway since I'm mobile blogging, some pictures from my phone.
from butter factory the other night
more weird sleeping position from Hikaru
yes he is cute, shuddap.
And here's the forever disturbing Hikaru, Himeko's mimi.
^ likes to bring Hikaru up onto her bed and then keep disturbing him.
