I made this awhile ago, but haven't got the pics off the camera until now... It was delish, as saia can attest, but took a long time to make. Marzipan = love

I've got an unnatural craving for it and as they don't sell it at the stores in Alfredland, I've got to make it myself. Found a recipe at all recipes so hopefully it'll work ok.

Our cat is still lost. T_T The family seems to be taking it ok though. My brother got his wisdom teeth out today, which I remember being very painful.

Also, saia needs to ( Read more... )

There was a going away party for me and another coworker. I`ll be heading back to unemployment heaven/hell in California on the 27th. T__T It was a fun party, as yakiniku puts your bbqing skilz on display--though mine are sadly lacking. Zen and I burnt a lot of our niku. MEAT!! It`s fun to eat! (lame rhyming I know) We had this green ramen that was ( Read more... )

Sadly, because of my coworkers deciding to give me an expensive going away party at yakiniku, I can`t go to Toki`s bday party at the Butler cafe. On Monday I found that there was a spot to reserve for the cafe, and so I went on Wednesday. :) Since the menu changes on a monthly basis, the food this time was a special anniversary lunch/dessert and it ( Read more... )

I am in an internet cafe, and so I must post about the company party I just got back from. Actually, the whole of today was hilarious in many ways: there was the parent meeting where the all the teachers were paraded in front of the parents and introduced (lots of fawning and bowing involved); there was the hour long speech by the principal, saying ( Read more... )

Two frees, and 1 no-show, which meant 2 hours of me not doing any work. It is nice when your birthday is a national holiday, but not nice to work on it, or get up early to work on it. It is also not really nice to phone your family on your birthday, instead of the other way around. Niether is it nice to forget your bento lunch because you're ( Read more... )

I went forth and went unto El Torido to eat, and verily in truth it was delicious. Forsooth, our illustrious Japanese manager did drink but one shot of Tequila and got drunk. Merrily our party made noise next to a table of people speaking in sign language. The food was indeed Mexican, but not Californian Mexican. It was enough to satisfy mine ( Read more... )
