Actually Cooked Something

These last few weeks...well, this entire month really has been hell. I don't think I have actually cooked anything from scratch in the last 2 weeks! I either went out to eat something with my sister or just ate some kind of instant/simple thing, like cereal. From what I can remember during this time I think the only color I saw on my plate, when I ate at home, was beige or white: cereal, grain foods, milk/dairy products, instant noodles (yep, the college student's staple food), an egg here and there.

However, I did finally manage to scrape some time out of life to cook something today! Sauteed Napa with Dried Shrimp and Garlic.

Mother's Day: Hunting Down a Cake

Well, this is a bit late, but who cares ^^~
So for mother's day my sister and I decided to buy a cake for our mom. Problem was that my sister went out to buy the cake about an hour before our mom was arriving at our place. What made it a worse was that she had to go to a few places before she found a Taro cake, which my mom had said she liked...I don't remember when she said it but it resonates with me so...yes. The awkward part of this whole thing was that my mom got to our place before my sister got back, so it was difficult to dodge the question, "Where is your sister?". Esp. difficult to explain when my mom knows that she usually wakes up at 1pm on a weekend and hardly leaves the apartment and at that time it was about 10am.

I would have made one myself if I had the resources and, most importantly, the experience for it...but this is good to!~


Anyway~ Pictures of cake!


Cake tasted good. Very rich in Taro flavor ^_^~ And, my mom liked it! Yey~
