I was browsing some pics on some AKB48 blogs, when I came across this Ramen pic from Kasai's blog.


^ Japanese Ramen.
I can probably recreate this, but it's the broth I can't figure out correctly. I looks like a white miso broth.

This New Year's Bento Box from Kitahara Rie's blog looks amazing.


^ New Year's Bento Box.

Useless Transformers News:
The Transformers United toyline is coming out really soon, and new pics are available for Blurr, Kup, Perceptor, and Wreck-gar. There are some detail/colour differences between the US version and the Japan versions, so it's a good thing I pre-order mine from Japan (See comments section of link for comparison pics).
The figure I'm most interested in, is Kup. Looks just like him.

Rookies Finished

I just finished watching all 11 episodes of Rookies and I'm totally in the mood to play softball now! :) Too bad it's still about 5 months away :(
Steve, Ben, you guys probably shouldn't watch this drama. You both would probably end up crying infront of your wife/gf :P

Dinner today -> T&T Butter Chicken.
My parents picked this up for me from T&T. It's actually pretty good and the chicken is very tender, but it tastes nothing like real butter chicken from Indian restaurants.


^ T&T Butter Chicken.

BTW: Steve and Kristina's babies will be a twin girl and boy. Congratulations!

Weekend Report

When I came home after work on Friday I was greeted by a couple of boxes from Japan :)


^ Greeted by HLJ Boxes.

I got a 1/8 scale Sigui Queen's Blade Statue. I got it when it was on sale for 80% off.


^ Queen's Blade Sigui.

And both Rookies White and Black Boxes. I got the full set, and the chase #8 figure.


^ Rookies Set.
I'm only missing the coach (Koichi Kawato) which is sold separately (don't know why?) and sold out.
Rookies is a Japanese Baseball TV Drama based off a manga. It is a really good show. I highly recommend it to everyone. If anyone wants it, I have a hard subbed copy of all the episodes or you can download it at d-addicts.
After opening all my figs, I started re-watching Rookies :)

Food this weekend ->


^ T&T Food: Chicken, Pork Belly, Sweet & Sour Pork, and Garlic Bread.


^ PC Fireside Shepherd's Pie.


^ Ramen with Pork Belly, Mushrooms, and Raw Egg.

Hand Towel Dispenser

Dinner today -> Spaghetti and Stuffed Meatballs.
Basically spaghetti with leftovers :P


^ Spaghetti and Stuffed Meatballs.


^ Grapefruit and Oranges for Dessert.

Jane made some peanutbutter oatmeal cookies. They are awesome. She also made some peanutbutter icing and glued some cookies together with it. Those were better than awesome :)

Useless News:
I bought that new Kleenex Hand Towel Dispenser thinking it would be nice for my main floor bathroom.


^ Kleenex Hand Towel Dispenser.
… BUT when I went to put it on the towel rack like in the commercials, I realized I don't have a towel rack in the bathroom, but a towel ring!!! LOL! I completely forgot.


^ Towel Ring.

Instant Ramen Cup?

Not for Dinner today -> Instant Ramen Cup.
What looks like a delicious bowl of instant ramen with alot of tasty toppings...


^ Instant Ramen Cup???
... is actually a piggy bank! It's not as good as the fake food I've seen in Japan, but it's still pretty cool.


^ Instant Ramen Cup Bank.
(The pic is abit bright, but there is slot in the side of the cup to insert the coins, and a rubber stopper in the bottom to take out the money.)

Steve, if your reading this Thursday morning and didn't pick me up yet. Get your A$$ over to Mazda and pick me up!!! LOL

A Running Chicken with 2 Jelly Beans = Winter

Dinner today -> Steak, Zuccini, Mushrooms, and Rice.


^ Steak, Zuccini, Mushrooms, and Rice.

Useless Japan News:


^ "Winter" in Japanese (Kanji).
I learned today that "Winter" is spelt by combining the Japanese Kanji characters: Running Chicken, Jelly Bean, and Jelly Bean. Kind of weird.


^ Running Chicken + Jelly Bean + Jelly Bean.
