Banana Dolphins!

Yesterday we had kitty dumplings as the choice topic, but you still need your potassium right? That’s where the banana dolphins come in and save the day.

That looks really good to me right now. Partly because I love all those fruits, and partly because I still feel sick and have cravings. -_-

Kitty Dumplings

There’s no wrong way to eat these cats. :v

Too adorable to eat… or maybe not.

It’s the “Neko Nyam Cha”, a series of cat-shaped manju steamed buns designed to be served in steam baskets like a yum cha meal. Only this time, there are cats on the menu.

Never had Steamed buns, but I do have an authentic bamboo steamer and some recipes… I might have to make some not so cute looking buns someday. The ones in the article sound good, especially the caramel and matcha ones, even the lemon one has my interest.

Open Thread

Yesterday I was too busy/tired to write anything. My main job wiped my ass out, and after work I went over to the doc’s office to take care of their SSL certs. I’ll be heading over there again next week to discuss other things involving the site, and also I’ll be doing some photography for them. They wanted to take pics of the offices using a smartphone, I volunteered my camera for the job. It has more megapixels. 😛

Then when I got home I played around a bit in Skyrim and made dinner. We had a nice chicken potato curry, and there’s lots of leftovers which will ensure that I’ll have plenty of food for work. 😛

So today I decided to relax instead with the usual activities. I’ve been following the Path Of The Druid quest and gained the ability to become an ice wolf.

There are other abilities I can obtain, like fire and earth. Right now I just think it’s funny being able to shapeshift into an ice breathing wolf at will. 😛

Oh, and I had a scary occurrence.

This guy… He looks like Tommy Wiseau. HOW?!?!?!?!

Thought I’d share some breakfast stuffs

I woke up this morning wondering if there were any good omelet recipes that used brie. I bought some yesterday to munch with some red grapes and wine. I ended up finding three different recipes and combining them into one delicious breakfast. I didn’t use any measurements, I only eyeballed what looked good.

First I made an egg mixture using six eggs. Then I mixed in some herbs I had lying around. Like Parsley, Thyme, Oregeno, Tarragon, etc. Then a couple dashes of salt and pepper. Use a balloon whisk to make it as fluffy as fucking possible. I set that aside and decided to make some balsamic onion. Chop up half an onion and fry in oil, then splash some balsamic vinegar on it to taste and set aside. Get out a round frying pan that can hold a shit load of eggs and preheat it. Use a cooking spray or brush some oil into the pan before you preheat it, then add the egg mixture and cover with a lid until it’s set. Cover half the omelet with brie and the balsamic onion and fold over. If you mess up don’t worry about it, the dish still tastes great as scrambled eggs. 😛

Oh, and add bacon for good measure. 😛

Unusual food for thought

I’ve been following this blog called RocketNews24, they specialize in crazy awesome findings from Japan and the rest of the Orient. I’m currently intrigued by their Sushi Burgers and English Breakfast Udon Noodles.

You know what’s sad? I would probably eat both of those (minus the heavily coated wasabi one, that’s too evil even for me). 😛 Although I do wonder, are the noodles cooked in PG Tips? 😛

Feels like summer

Enjoying a hot summer like day today. Haven’t even been to my desktop today due to the nice weather. I’ve mainly been bumming it on the laptop today, it’s slightly more portable and runs cooler. 😛 I even made time for a small bit of Skyrim.

CORPSE BUDDY! 😀

But I figured wasting all my time at the computer today on a day like this would be flat out wrong… so I went for a walk and took some pictures of flowers and trees at one of the local parks.

I also went out and got some salad ingredients to go with the BBQ’d steak we’re having tonight. Got some tomatoes, Stilton blue cheese and a nice leafy mix… Now I just need to think of a good vinaigrette to make. I’m thinking maybe a balsamic one.

Soda companies discover that people like sugar in their soda

Who knew?

Late last year, Pepsi prepared to introduce a new beverage, the old-timey and upscale 1893, or as its trademark application called it, “1893 From the Makers of Pepsi-Cola.” It’s just one of many products taking advantage of a strange trend in soft drinks right now: making products with real sugar is a selling point, something that the industry might not have expected just a few years ago.

Wow… What a shock. The only words I can think of are:

YouDontSayBlackWithTextSS

Why yes! We do like drinking something that isn’t made of throat burning corn plastic. You know, like most of the rest of the world? They’re really onto something… or at least on something.
