Anago Maker

http://anago.crap.jp/ Anago == garden eel. I saw several of my Twitter peeps changing their profile pic simultaneously about last week with similar-style worm-like cute picture. It's kind of like a simplified version of dressing up a character. Try it, it's fun, and you can save the anago design that you made. If you don't understand Japanese, try using logic and figure out what the buttons are for. They're much simpler than a purikura machine. Here's...

Because we are humans

Because we are humans, just the normal humans, We do not communicate through telepathy. If you don't tell the other party what you exactly want, Misunderstanding will rise. When you try to avoid the problem, The problem will just drag and nothing will be solved. I am sure you have heard these somewhere, But indeed doing it right is harder than thinking and listening about these things. I wish that we humans do not give in to our weak selves I wish I can explain things better and I wish that they trust each other mo...

No pictures!

I have never intended to make this blog a food blog, but since my life revolves around food, be it at work or back in my apartment, you'll see so many food-related entries here. So, no pictures this time since I  want to do a reflective entry. It seemed like a long ago but I just skydived yesterday. How I felt about it? Awesome. Before I decided to go for a skydive my brother tried to convince me not to jump by showing death and accident stats. It didn't convince me knowing that the death rate is 4 deaths in 4 years, and the most recent...

International Yogurt Part II

Well... I'm not sure if I should call it "international" but yeah they are different yogurt styles from different countries. Or maybe not; maybe it's just a new name that a company came up with and then the rest just follows. But anyways, in my previous post I covered French yogurt. And as I promised, we'll touch on Greek yogurt. I started with Dannon just because I'm a big fan of Dannon's Activia and I have seen my coworkers enjoying it. It...

Fettucini Craze

My mum doesn't like Western food in general, but she likes anything with fettucini. So do I. Wegmans sells a huge variety of imported international goods, and I found this pasta brand that is really awesome: De Cecco. I thought Barilla was like the best pasta ever, but I guess not. I tried the spaghetti. It's awesome too! The texture is just so... different. Really. I'm not the craziest pasta fan out there but I love this brand a lot. I made...

French Yogurt, sil vous plait!

Well well... what did I discover on the yogurt aisle last Thursday? French yogurt! I've never heard or seen it before. Maybe because I'm not really a yogurt person in the first place. The only time I was crazy about yogurt was last year, and that craze didn't even last that long. Many eat yogurt for its taste and texture, including me. Of course, yogurt consumption also has an added benefit: it helps you grow the bacteria in your gut so...

Pasta? Pasta!

I haven't been posting any of the dishes I made for dinner because they have been boring for quite some time. Whenever I go back from work, I crave something homey (in simpler sense, I crave for instant noodle LOL). And I have quite a variety of pasta sauces, which I cannot post here just because I don't want to get in trouble for making "a dirty attempt to advertise my company's products". I think not being able to post anything related to your...

Instant Noodles: around the world 3

More instant noodles!! (read Part 1 here and Part 2 here if interested) After getting an oil change for my car last Saturday I decided to drive down Route 70 without using a map or GPS at all and stop by any places I see interesting. One of them was the Asian Food Market. The sign was red and huge, pretty easy to notice. I stopped by and checked around. They have a huge variety of Chinese goods (and from their language, it seems that the store...
