Did I mention I took a this cooking class back in the summer?
I now have a collection of good and authentic recipes for the basic stuff and I've been itching to make some.

So the other day I made Tom Yum Kung and Green Curry at home.
Easy stuff and it taste so good.
Not like drinking sugar syrup when you eat out here in the US. They just put too much sugar in everything...

I saved up a lot of shrimp shells from before and made some shirmp broth with it. Then mixed with chicken broth to make the soup base more flavorful. Worked out perfectly!

Hubby loved the tom yum kung and he wanted more. I loved it too! Oh by the way, I asked my instructor back then whether they use tomato in their tom yum kung, he said it's not common. Probably a Vietnamese style. So I guess the ones I've had in Hong Kong was like california roll to Japanese people (not authentic but still not bad. heehee)


I used chicken and eggplant in my green curry. It was great! And I still have some more for lunch today. Hubby isn't a big fan of it cuz' it's not spicy enough.

うちのホームべカリーはうどん／パスタ機能があります。
ご飯飽きたし、ラーメンがないし、簡単な材料で作れるのはうどんだったので早速作ることに。
手間もかからず、材料を入れるだけで簡単。

問題はおなかがぺこぺこで生地を休ませる時間が足りかなった。
もっと薄く伸ばすべきだった。。。

こんな感じ・・・


くっつかないように粉を使ってうどんを一人前ずつに分けて、余分を冷凍庫に・・・


今度もっと薄く伸ばしてみるわ

ボストンの秋は本当にきれいです。
特に晴れてる日はよりいっそう雰囲気がよくなるよね。

空の色と木の色のコントラストがすごく好きです。
あ〜生きて良かった〜♪



桜の季節も綺麗でしたが、同じ公園が季節によって顔が全く違います。どちらも素敵ですけど。


ベランダから公園を見ると、子供たちは楽しく遊んでいた。とても幸せな雰囲気で思わず写真にしたくなりました・・・

There was this one time I had the opportunity to watch a person putting together a fruit platter for a party.

That person used to do that for airline catering and mainly for first class passengers.

I didn't get to see the whole thing but I did learn a bit on how to cut and present pineapple nicely. I got one the other day and tried it myself. Not as nice as I wanted it to look but rather than the usual pineapple rings this is quite appealing too.

I've always wanted to bake molten (melting) chocolate cake.
But then they are so rich I keep changing my mind to other things.

Not today.


Saw a recipe in a magazine and wanted to try it so bad.
Super easy stuff, but I guess it's still a little bit overcooked so the melting part is not too spectacular.

Taste wise, delicious but really rich. Perfect to be served with vanilla ice-cream just to balance out the flavor.

Hubby will be so thrilled when he sees it tonight.
