"Aishiteru"

This song makes me happy. I found out this morning that this song is actually for an anime opening! Gotta watch that anime! It looks good.

Aishiteru (lit. "I am loving you"),

Chapter 11: 'Right now, I'm obsessed with..... #1'

My Current top 10

1) Detroit Metal City anime!

The anime is really not meant for anyone under 17 and for a very good reason.... But if you dig around for it, here I go:
"After graduating high school, Negishi wanted to use his musical talent to start a pop band. Unfortunately, five years have passed, and guess what? He is now in a heavy metal band. Screaming about insane things--as the dark lead singer, Krauser! The series focuses on how difficult to lead his double life, especially after bumping into a high school sweetheart!" 
Hilarious, but cruel anime. ;p 

2) Pinterest!

So much fun!! I am adding so many new boards! I used to think it was stupid to create anything over 30 boards, but what fun is that? You can check my Pinterest and see my changes!

Some of my new boards include 'Rock the Mullet!' (hair), 'Saucy' (dishes + desserts drenched in sauce), 'My Cherry Blossom Girl' (cherries + cherry blossoms!), & 'Dip-Related' (Dipping your food in yummy dips!).

3) Sushi!

Tempura, Rainbow Roll, Dragon roll...... I even heard of some really cute rolls like the unicorn roll and the lion king roll!

4) Back to Harry Potter!

I am back to the books! My friend will be pleased....... The series is so well written. It is also a shock that the books are over 15 years old! Yet there are huge fan bases (still) hmmmmm. ;)

5) Hoping Avril is releasing a WHOLE CD and not just a single!

Secretly, although Katy Perry is good, I wish Avril would no have just 40 million page-views! She deserves it! Punk-rock princess!

6) Pocky!

One day I missed pocky SO, SO much! So far I have bought a box of chocolate....I googled for the recipe for pocky and think I found a reasonable one to try. So please, please work!

7) MLP Cravings!...

I am not sure if any one has noticed, but there are just the most random fan bases in America--across the world! (e.g. mustaches, Princess Bubblegum, Gir, bacon......) I am not considering watching the 'My Little Pony' series, but I love collecting the figurines! 

8) Owl City!

Very unhappy with his latest CD (Midsummer Station), I obviously immediately craved his older works! (First 2 albums) As my research unraveled, I found out the Adam Young's song "Fireflies" became a number one hit in TWENTY SEVEN different countries!!

9) Exercise!

Do something that excites you or find a new sport! 

10) Outer Space!

Always ready to amaze! Some starters? Saturn actually is less dense than water!! (So it would float in our ocean!) If you head to my sites tab at the bottom of my blog, you should find the link to the article I have been reading on black holes. 

I love DMC, Pinterest, Sushi, Harry Potter, Avril, Pocky, MLP, Owl City, Exercise, and Space,

"Ride on Shooting Star" music video via. Youtube

"Ride on Shooting Star" (The Pillows)

This music video really cracks me up! The music is awesome though! If the video really does bug you, you totally should listen to just the song. "The Pillows" created the music for the anime "Fooly Cooly" (フリクリ). 
A lot of people like this song. 

And so do I,

Chapter 3: 'Vermont......Curry?!'

Ringo is a character from the anime "Penguin Drum" I happened to be watching today. She's in love with her professor and wants to confess to him. How? By making him curry! She goes on and on about how the 20th of every month is curry day & that curry is best when eaten with people you love. It's her own tradition since she was little. Anyway, the episode was cute.

Then my thoughts headed toward the remnants of my pantry.
"I still have some Vermont Curry Roux!"
(And some vegetables, and milk...and a chicken breast, perfect!)

These days I do not like to cook. I usually believe that food always tastes better at places other than my own home. (My cooking sucks!) BUT tonight was an exception!

You can find several sites that will give you instructions on how to make curry, but as for me I did not have any tonight. So I had to wing it! In my cooking pot, I put butter, curry roux, milk, sliced zucchini, sliced carrot, sliced onion, cubed & peeled potatoes, a few drops of honey, and a few chunks of chicken breast.

People always question "It's strange that Japanese people love curry in the first place, but why do they also have a curry that's named after a State?!"
Answer: Vermont region is known for their apples. There are hints of apple and honey in the roux. Don't question its power!

I'm beginning to learn as a cook that cooking is not just an Art and Science, but is HEART!
When you 'get a feel' for what you are doing, have an intention, and are excited to eat, you get something awesome in return! 

And here's mine: 

And I'm going for seconds!!!!!!

Curry Connoisseur!
