Thank you Tony!!! I cannot wait to get my blooks!!!
So, the begining of the day was talking on the phone, uploading new images to my site. And fixing little boo-boos here and there...Took a shower at around 1pm wich lasted almost an hour... did my hair and got dressed...
At around 4:10pm called a taxi and headed to Sherbrooke metro... I felt stood up as I waited until 5:10pm and a bit hurt... Plus, we hadn't exchange #s which sucked... aaahh, called Mondo and he didn't feel like doing anything. So, I took the metro to Mt. Royal... Walked over to Boite Noire and rented Haibane - Renmei and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. Then passed YoyCafe and got some sushi and a special of General Tao chicken, Veitnamese meat/egg cake with an eggroll. Walked home with all the food and the dvds...
It was nice...I looked at my email and there it was an email from Yoji, excusing himself for being late and missing me... heee... It was followed by his cell #... Sure enough I called and had a wonderful chat with him. Decided to speak to him and also meet him once more but this time outside of the station! I got out of the cab but no Yoji, I called him and sure he said he was there and I walked around and there he was... A real size Japanese guy/man... He's 30 and good looking... Damn, when we were walking for an instant I thought too bad I have a boyfriend I would do him in a minute... Heee... The thing that came over me. I guess is the freak in me! You know hte one that is attracted by Asian men... Aaahh... The thought enough was sweet...
It was a wonderful night... It will be in my memories for ever... =^^=
So, spend all night playing around with my site and also with embossing! I love the chalks they are truly nice and then spraying the Krylor is great! They get shiny and bright! Sweet!
Tomorrow I head to Sherbrooke station to meet Yoji! I can't wait!
I still have to finish reading all the emails from WTF... There are like 25 or 20 left in my mail... I did the switch of my address to PO Box... Done... Got a subdomain for Carly and Mitsuru... Shit and I forgot to make one for my scrapbooking! Great! Now I have to wait another 48 hrs to create it! Freak!!
I made steak and gai lan (chinese broccoli) with oyster sauce! YUM!!

Why is it that keitai in Japan are cuter and have more tech? I wish we had some like the A5512CA, N901iS, VK600C, SPH-B2500, V501T or vodafone here! Those are just some! Well, for now my cell phone is a complete sticker collection! yah! Found some sites/blogs which were talking about all sort of stuff tech wireless.3yen (which from there got all the information!), gizmodo and Akihabara news. A few other sites I been checking out are PodCasting news (everything podcast), saikon (anime in Jp), sinpre (JP site), Podbrix (thanks to the post from Pcast news).
Scrapbooking shopping yesterday! I got embossing powder and all the gear to try it out... I wanna buy some embossing pens but it seems that calligraphy pens work pretty well. And so do gel pens! yah!! It's so fun. got some Nupastel chalk from Omer DeSerres... I haven't told B-G I spend like just at the store a few hundred... And well at Bonnidee, it was just a few too... heee.. It was so much fun!

And well at Bonnidee, it was just a few too... heee.. It was so much fun!
I went to bed at 7:20am and woke at around 10:55am... I was up all night copying B-G's resume onto his laptop... As the PC that had his resume kind of died! The motherboard! So, it took me 4 hours... Freak, his resume is 6 pages long! So much education and work and other stuff!! My 2 1/2 page cv looks like shit compare to his! I am exhausted... but I had to get up B-G has a meeting with his Dept. Dir. about his job... They apparently do this every year. I told B-G that he better give me something HUGE!! He slept while I did his resume... He was tired from working an 11hr shift! My back aches so much... Too bad it doesn't ache from something else, wink wink...
Anyways, yesterday night I spend time on reading my favorite blogs! Aaah, Tony was in NY for a conference that was part of his new job at Buzznet!! Lucky man, he does the rounds... heee... I am waiting for him to get back to me about my blooks. He is so sweet he had put me on his side bar links and left me for a few times...
Plus I have decided that I will buy another 'How To Blog' not signed to lend out and show around. I have learned from previous occasions people sometimes don't take care of your stuff, when you want to keep it nice! That I have learned and I buy a second copy if I am going to share it! Crazy right, but it just has happened to many times... Plus, sometimes people don't give it back to you. Like My ex I lended (while we were going out) him my 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,' (which the hard cover has changed from the deep green to a navy blue color cover, ASS...) we broke up and never returned it! ASS!! I loved that book and my friend Mondo gotten it for me long time ago at a store that doesn't exist any more. I seem not even to remember the freaken store name!! AAAAhhh, there was a bookmark of the name of freaken store in that book! ASS (did I alredy call him that, well he is!)!! Yeah, I can buy another but the memories of when I open that book again would be of remembering my ex (which I do not want to!) because he never returned it and I had to buy a new one! I wonder when he will contact me to make the transfer stuff... Yeah, what I love shopping! I been thinking of it every freaken night before I go to bed. I lay there thinking I wonder how the transaction will go? Why do I seem to loose brain cells sometimes when I think stupidly! AAAhhhh!
Alexa is in Prague, with one of her (how can I put it??) guys and the wife... Shit, went down which I hope all turned out, OK... She really has a great life too, sorta fun... Why didn't I think of that when I was younger, now that I am old forget it! Heee... Oh well, that is another lifetime ago!
Shit I always think of good things when I watch TV, I wonder why that is? But then I forget them and they are left in my subconscious which I hope I don't get Alzheimer's and I can retrieve those moments (which most likely it will never happen, moving on...) when I look like a freaken prune. I also wonder if I will be alive to be old? I often wonder about that, it seems that I will not, I have the most reasurance feeling that I will not make it to my golden years... I am getting wierdo now! Forget it!
I also spend yesterday writting to my Japanese penpals which I love like crazy. It's about the most rewarding thing I have been doing these days! I bitch too much here and say and do stupid shit which I care to not to mention! I have like over 20 penpals and I seem to keep all of them in mind! But I have only chatted on yahoo to 2 of them... Both guys! It was really fun!I love the talking chat! It's so much fun!! heee... Plus, my cam is great!! I never use it really I leave it to collect dust most of the time! My mom doesn't have one and she would not know how to use it... My sister is to busy with my niece and my baby brother is well young and wants to hang out with his girl and friends then talk to his old sister... heee... Plus, his job in the military, his school and being in Japan is all probably too much not adding me to the mix would just... I just don't want to bother him... I miss him... I am so happy that he will be coming back for the holidays!! We are going! He will also go to Cali to visit his dad... Which I hate that man but that's another story... Too many sad memories, must be left in the past!
I just went to check my email an Sylvain (married to a Vietnamese lady, and living in Japan - lucky lucky lucky!!!) just send me an email. Which was so sweet... heee... He just inform me how to download Bit Tornado and then send me the site to download AINORI episodes and get the subtitles which Tonydesu has graciously done. It's a show about people who travel through out the world in a pink bus and try to get to know each other and become a couple. If you choose that person and the person chooses you to then you have a match and get off the bus. A new person(s) comes into the picture once there is a connection or if the person asking to get together is kicked of... That is sound funny and pretty interesting! Apparently it's pretty big in Japan... Sounds fun! I found Sylvain through YUL Blogs... Sylvain is willing to help if I get too stressed over not getting the program and all the other stuff. What a sweety!
I am in love with Ashburn by Yano Maki. I downloaded her free song and it's superb. I wish more artist would do that. Because then it would encourage to buy the CD...Wel, that is what I think! I been learning the lyrics which I got via Cori. I am really thinking of getting her CD... Oh, now I want also the Utada English CD she has out! And Hatomi has a new CD too... Well, I want so much! heee... I am thinking if I should get one of those pen thingies that you write in the pc? Shit what are they called? I hate when I become illiterate and forget things. I feel I am not smart and then get freaken scared that I should have been a veggie instead... WTH is it called! Now, I have to go and google the dumb-thingy! What a freak I am!!! I hate that I cannot seem to remember word am I become stupid as I age... Shit maybe that is why I have a bad feeling of growing old! Damn!!! Damn!!!

the following may or may not be written properly but hey, its just a few chinese dim sum dishes that I heart very much!!!
Lo Mai Gai - Sticky rice and meats (often including Chinese sausage) wrapped in lotus leaves.
Lo Bak Goh (Law Bok Gow) - A cake made with Chinese turnip, which is similar to the Japanese daikon radish, and rice flour (not glutinous rice flour). The steamed cake is a popular dish during the Chinese New Years season, but is also served for dim sum throughout the year.
Spring Rolls (Chun Juan) - Made with a thinner wrapper, spring rolls are lighter and less filling than egg rolls. A classic spring roll filling consists of dried mushrooms, and shredded meat and carrot or bamboo shoots, seasoned with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar.
Sei Mai (Siew Mai) - Steamed dumplings with pork and shrimp.
Char Siu (Roast Pork) - The filling used in roast pork buns.
Char Siu Bao - The famous buns stuffed with barbecued pork.
Chee Cheong Fun - Rice pasta rolls.
Egg Custard Tart (Dan Ta, Dan Tart, Don Tot) - Baked tart with egg custard filling.
Fung Jeow - Chicken's feet. They are usually stir-fried or deep-fried, then marinated and finally steamed. The marinade often includes black bean sauce and/or oyster sauce.
Fun Gor - Like the more famous har gau these dumplings are translucent. dumplings. They are filled with pork and bamboo shoots.
Har Gau (Har Gow) - Those great transparent shrimp dumplings.
Jiaozi (jao-tze) - Chinese dumplings. Although Chinese dumplings may be cooked in many ways, when people refer to jiaozi, they generally mean dumplings that are boiled in water or broth.
Just a few yummies!! aaahhh... the... ok gotta go eat!

Was trying to choose an image to put on my site!
a new word that I stumble while reading about Wal-mart (SUCKS!!!) national impact on American families...
Well, the article is pretty cool, it made me think and laugh a bit! The word came from the autistic community to refer to people who are view as 'normal' without neurological problems.
The site has gone on my side links... yah! Keeping inform of some of the problems that are out there makes me feel sad but at the same time knowing is 1/2 the battle! Right!

I just just send Tony the email to purchase his signed blooks !!! Can't wait!!! I feel happy, crazy right! Is it the high of purchasing or just that I really would like the blooks/books! Heee.... I think its both! Ok, now the wait begins....
Which blook cover of 'Stiff' should I buy? #2 or #5? #2 is classy and can be use as a coffee table blook. Heee... But #5 is kinda wierd out cute! I have also decided to get Tony's first blook 'How To Blog'!
I need to email Tony to order it!!!
I am not telling B-G he'll have a cow me buying like shop a holic that I am. But if and when he finds out I will explain to him it's for a good cause. And explain all about Tony! Which to this day I have not explain bloggers (others I read) or my own blogging in detail at all to him! I have just come up with a great idea I will tell him that (which is TRUE) that Tony's 'How To Blog' blook could explain blogging to him in a much better way. That is one reason why I am getting it! So B-G gets to read it and atleast understand a bit of the blog world.
Damn, man came over to say goodbye with a wonderful yummy kiss that left me dizzy for a few seconds. He's going to work a 12 hr shift in the Sergical Dep't at the Children's... I hate when he goes for long shifts or overnights! YUK!
I need to email Tony to order it!!!
I am not telling B-G he'll have a cow me buying like shop a holic that I am. But if and when he finds out I will explain to him it's for a good cause. And explain all about Tony! Which to this day I have not explain bloggers (others I read) or my own blogging in detail at all to him! I have just come up with a great idea I will tell him that (which is TRUE) that Tony's 'How To Blog' blook could explain blogging to him in a much better way. That is one reason why I am getting it! So B-G gets to read it and atleast understand a bit of the blog world.

Bed at 3:30 am, playing: Animal Crossings!
As I laid in bed, trying to shut my eyes to sleep, I thought of the renovations that had occurred the past few weeks. There is now a latch/pannel (that we bought) for the bathroom pipes in the closet! It looks awful and for $3gran, I think they really took us for a ride. Now we have to dish out almost another gran for the pretty carpet we picked! Then it started to occur to me how are we going to open the latch/pannel if need to the freaken open it? The baseboards are nailed down to it! I started to wake B-G but he was far gone to have a conversation on that matter. I reserved it for the morning but I tossed and turned through out the night!
I woke at 8am feeling terribly sick. The kitties were hungry so fed I did! Woke up B-G he needs to take in mr L to the dealer for the 'winter tires.' Which cost a mint, if I may say so! Those rims, aaahhhh! so freaken expensive and so easily scratch! Anyways, getting back to the renovation frenzy I woke up to! I told B-G and he seem to just say can we just pull it up! NO!!!!! We would need a knife to cut along the baseboards to be able to see the pipes! I need to do something so I started to sweep all the crap that was on the cement floor! I got dust all over me and the hallway! I had to clean that up to and our fan that was used by the painters to dry the paint!
I need to call these people, I will not be giving money to someone who has not done the job properly. The renovation was atleast a $500-700 not the 3gran that the insurance paid for! Oh well, but now that I have them still. I will ask them to do it again! why not! I had previously asked them to change the baseboards which did not match the bedroom, now they do! Aaahh, did I mention I hate renovations! And there is the problem of the cracks that need to be seen by a structural engineer!! Ahh and the problems that are still to come!
Call the architect guy and advised me that he had someone who he had in mind! I will ask further info. later. He's also doing a job for one of B-g's colleagues (the one who does the schedules)!
I now have to go and bla with the renov. people again... More like RANT!!!!

I tend to spill so much onto my emails and well is it worth it. Am I being to explicit or to foward on what I say. Hopefully, it's ok on the reciever part. I have been really bla bla to some and well I have yet to get a response. I know I am not important and what I say doesn't at times matter. Still my emails have been spam to a few.
I genuinely care and probably that is why I get such hurt and broken hearted. In one hand I can count the true friends I have. I don't feel sorry for myself or anything that is just the way life is and will be. I accept it! I have no regrets. All the past friends that have tried to take my boyfriends away, never succeeded. I say have good life. The friends that drop from the face of the earth I say hope your life is going as planned. And to those friends I shared my heart and soul to and said they would be there no matter what. Hopefully, you have someone in your life who is all that and more.
O.K. enough of the bs... No regrets, right!

What has the world come to! I went to jen2 site and read her latest post! It anger me and completely took me by surprised. I started to google, yahoo and just look for information where I could find it! I been reading and reading and have seen such disgusting images of the poor stray dog with hooks in his mouth area, used for shark bait. The French-language daily newspaper, of Réunion Island, an amateur fisherman was tried and convicted of animal cruelty. This apprently isn't an isolated incident. Several animal rights groups like the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, the RSPCA (sign the petition), and the Brigitte Bardot Foundation have a number of documented cases. The Brigitte Bardot Foundation has been lobbing the local officials and the French Foreign Ministry for the past 10 yrs hoping to put an end to the practice by enforcing the existing laws against the cruelty to animals. The method is rarely used by skillful fishermen and used more by amateur shark hunters who deal in the black market.

Alexa from ny hotties emailed me and said my site was nice and that she liked it. I did an exchange link with her. She and Steff are the authors of nyhotties. Really good. Have been reading some posts and comments. I just added their link to my site.
A few Shows that I like: Sin Cities, Family Business, Private Parties and Kink. And a TV channel: Sex TV. Trying to find a link to Sin Cities and found flashcube.com which has a link to ny hotties funny, right! I will be linking that site. I found it yummy! Plus, I got the rosie flickr page from there!
Too much coffee... I feel like a shaker!!! Dang!!!

O.K., I'm definitely fad up! I try to understand people too much! I give them as much knowledge that I can get or even have. Why is it that people don't want to do what is the sane thing to do. AAAhhh....
Woke up to the sound of rain punding on the balcony. I get up to go check on the bedbroom as the windows were left open. I was afraid that water had damaged the paint job on the walls. But fortunately it did not!
Hard a heart to heart with B-G and nothing came of it. He instead went to do the dishes which I was planning to put in the dishwasher when he had finished making the coffee. I told him and he just looked at me like a zombie. Nothing much on that front! He just ticks me off sometimes. Gggrrr...
On Wed. we went to Saint-Sauveur to a carpet store. We are picking still the carpet. We decided on a Kraus carpet: Anso Caress® nylon (nylon 6), color: sun spay #186718. Which has an online register website!
I been on a hunt to find all the information I can about the carpet we have chosen but still thinking that the renovation company is charging too much for it. We still have to get the breakdown of the payment of the carpet! I wonder if spending almost 2thou is a good price for a carpet! I think why not spend the extra gran for Engineered Flooring which the condo policy states to have put on the floors. But B-G still doesn't want too so we will see how low the reno't co. goes. Carpets to go a good site to find about the which carpet is good for you and the care.
Thinking of Bamboo flooring which has only recently emerged as an engineered flooring. I have found that there is so much information on it. It's not a wood but a grass which generates faster then wood. Bamboo used is always of the same species but the hows are what make it different. How durable by where its grown, when it was picked, the environment it's been in, soil conditions, and the rain quantity it has recieved through out its growning period. That makes for the stability and hardness of it. Noted was that bamboo losses 20% of its hardness during the carbonization process which is the pressure of steam to change it to a darker coffee color. The color has many shades it its flanks and cannot be control. The best bamboo for a floor grows on the top portion of a mountain with moderate rain, is 5-8 yrs old, is harvested in winter, is 5-7 in. in diameter and is located in either the Fujian or Zehjiang provinces in China. The bamboo harvested in these provinces is harder and more stable than other locations due to the environmental conditions.

Bo Lings Stuffed Eggplant in Black Bean Sauce
Source: Richard Ng, owner/chef, Bo Lings, Kansas City, MI. Makes 3-4 servings.
3/4 pound Chinese purple eggplant
1 pound medium shrimp, cleaned and shelled
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch white pepper
Approximately 2 cups vegetable oil, divided
1 tablespoon Chinese fermented black bean, rinsed and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
2 cups water, divided
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white cooking wine
1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Rinse eggplant and dry. Diagonally slice the eggplant into 1 1/2-inch thick slices. (This will create diagonally sliced, round discs.) With the tip of a knife, slice a pocket into each piece, slicing parallel to the surface and slicing only about 3/4 of the way through each slice. Each eggplant disc now has an opening for the shrimp stuffing.
Chop shrimp into pieces about the size of corn kernels. Place shrimp in a bowl and season with salt and pepper; mix until shrimp becomes sticky, about 4 minutes. Using a table knife, stuff about 1 to 2 teaspoons shrimp mixture into the pocket in each eggplant slice. Dip knife into cold water between stuffing to smooth shrimp filling. (This step could take 15 to 20 minutes.) Pour 1 cup oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
Pan-fry stuffed eggplant until brown on both sides. (Eggplant absorbs oil like a sponge; add additional oil if pan becomes dry or eggplant will not brown.) When brown, remove from pan and set aside to drain. Pour 1 tablespoon oil into a hot wok. Add black bean, garlic and ginger; stir-fry until ingredients become a light brown. Add 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, soy sauce and wine. Stir together cornstarch with 1/2 cup water, mixing until well-dissolved. Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into wok, stirring constantly.
Cook, stirring, until mixture has the consistency of syrup. Stir in sesame seed oil, then remove from heat. Dip each eggplant piece in sauce to coat well, then place each piece on a small, heatproof plate. Place plate in steamer and steam over boiling water 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

JAPANESE:
Japanese-style Omelet Recipe
Japanese-style omelet is called dashi-maki-tamago or tamago-yaki in Japanese. It's sometimes called Japanese-style egg roll. Japanese-style egg roll is often served for Japanese-style breakfast. Also, it's one of the most popular menu in bento lunch boxes in Japan. Japanese-style egg roll is usually cooked in a rectangular omelet pan. Rectangular omelet pans are commonly sold in Japan, but it might not be a common cookware in other countries. It's OK to use a regular frying pan if a rectangular omelet pan is not available. In that case, shape rolled omelet into a rectangule, using a bamboo mat. Japanese-style egg roll is slightly sweet, so it tends to get burn easily. Watch the heat carefully. (2 servings)
3 eggs
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsps dashi soup stock
2 tsps soy sauce
1 tsp vegetable oil
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add sugar, dashi soup stock, soy sauce into the bowl and mix well. Heat oil in an omelet pan. Turn down the heat and pour 1/3 of the egg mixture in the pan. Spread the egg evenly over the pan. When the egg is almost cooked, roll the omelet toward the top end of the pan. Move the omelet toward the down end of the pan. Pour half of the remaining egg mixture in the pan and spread over the pan. Quickly raise rolled omelet and spread the egg mixture under it. When the new layer is almost cooked, roll the omelet toward the top end of the pan. Repeat this process one more time. After the third layer is rolled, shape the omelet into a rectangule, pressing it against the edge of the pan.
Sushi Recipes
Japanese rice is a medium-grained rice and gets sticky when it is cooked. The long-grained American rice isn't proper for sushi because it is drier and doesn't stick together.
3 cups Japanese-style rice
3 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
After washing the rice well, cook it by pan or rice cooker. See how to cook Japanese rice BELOW. Prepare sushi vinegar (sushi-zu) by mixing rice vinegar, sugar and salt in a small pan. Put the pan on low heat and cook until the sugar dissolves. Cool the vinegar mixture. Spread the cooked hot rice into a large plate (if you have it, use a wooden bowl called sushi-oke) by spatula. Sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice and fold the rice by shamoji very quickly. Be careful not to smash the rice. To cool and remove the moisture of the rice well, use a fan as you mix sushi rice. This will give sushi rice a shiny look. It's best to use it right away. Makes 6 cups of sushi rice.
How To Cook Japanese Rice
Japanese rice is medium-grained and is known as sticky rice. Learn how to cook Japanese rice properly.
2 cups Japanese-style rice
2 1/2 cups water
Pan/Rice Cooker
Time Required: 35. Put the rice in a bowl and wash with cold water. Repeat washing until the water becomes clear. Drain the rice in a colander and set aside. Place the rice in a pan or rice cooker and add water. Use just enough water to cover the rice -- don't fill the entire pot. Let the rice soak in the water at least 30 min. One hour is ideal. If you are cooking the rice in a pan, cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, turn the heat down very low and cook about 15-20 min. until the water is almost gone. Remove the pan from the heat and let it steam for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Tips: If you are using an electric rice cooker, you don't have to worry about adjusting the heat. You still need to let the cooked rice steam before you open the lid. Japanese rice gets sticky when it is cooked. The long-grained American rice isn't proper for Japanese cooking, because it is drier and doesn't stick together well.

Dashi is Japanese soup stock, which becomes the base of many Japanese dishes, such as soup and nimono (simmered dishes). Since dashi is often used in Japanese cooking, it's useful to know how to make it. There are different kinds of dashi. It can be made from konbu (dried kelp), katsuo-bushi (dried bonito flakes), niboshi (dried small sardines), or hoshi-shiitake (dried shiitake mushrooms). Konbu dashi and mushroom dashi are known as good vegetarian stocks. Let's learn making different kinds of dashi.
1) Konbu dashi (This is known as vegetarian dashi. )
4 cups of water
6 inches long konbu
Wipe the konbu with a clean cloth to remove dirt. (kombu shouldn't be washed under running water.) Soak the konbu in the water in a pot for one to two hours. Put on low heat and bring the water to a boil. Just before the water boils, remove the konbu.
2) Katsuobushi dashi
4 cups of water
1/2 cup of katsuobushi
Put the water in a pan and heat on medium heat. Just before the water boils, add the katsuobushi flakes. When the water boils, stop the heat and strain the broth.
3) Konbu and Katsuobushi dashi
4 cups of water
1/3 cup of katsuobushi
6 inches long konbu
Put water in a pan and soak kombu for one-two hours. Heat the water on low heat and remove the kombu just before the water boils. Add katsuobushi and turn off the heat. Strain the broth to get the first dashi. (called ichiban-dashi) *This dashi is often used for clear soup.
To make the second soup stock, put 4 cups of water and the katsuobushi and konbu, which were used to make the first dashi in a pan. Heat and let boil for a few minutes. Strain the broth. This second dashi is called niban-dashi. *This dashi is used for simmering vegetables.
4) Niboshi dashi
4cups water
1/2 cup niboshi
To prepare niboshi, gut the niboshi and remove the head. Put niboshi in water in a pan and soak for 30 minutes. Put on low heat and bring to a boil. Let it boil for a couple minutes, then stop the heat. Strain the broth. *This dashi is often used for miso soup.
5) Hoshi-shiitake dashi
4 cups water
4 hoshi-shiitake
Put water and hoshi-shiitake in a pan and soak for 10 minutes. Heat the water and turn off the heat when the water comes to a boil. Let stand for 20 minutes and strain the broth. *The shiitake can be used for other dishes.
6) Instant dashi [dashi powder]
4 cups water
1 1/2 tsp dashi powder
There are instant dashi powders available at grocery stores. If you don't have much time, use those dashi powders. Simply boil the water and add the dashi powder.
Japanese dashi is best used on the day it was made.

Place the rice in a pan or rice cooker and add water. Use just enough water to cover the rice -- don't fill the entire pot. Let the rice soak in the water at least 30 min. One hour is ideal. If you are cooking the rice in a pan, cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, turn the heat down very low and cook about 15-20 min. until the water is almost gone. Remove the pan from the heat and let it steam for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Tips: If you are using an electric rice cooker, you don't have to worry about adjusting the heat. You still need to let the cooked rice steam before you open the lid. Japanese rice gets sticky when it is cooked. The long-grained American rice isn't proper for Japanese cooking, because it is drier and doesn't stick together well.

Dashi is Japanese soup stock, which becomes the base of many Japanese dishes, such as soup and nimono (simmered dishes). Since dashi is often used in Japanese cooking, it's useful to know how to make it. There are different kinds of dashi. It can be made from konbu (dried kelp), katsuo-bushi (dried bonito flakes), niboshi (dried small sardines), or hoshi-shiitake (dried shiitake mushrooms). Konbu dashi and mushroom dashi are known as good vegetarian stocks. Let's learn making different kinds of dashi.
1) Konbu dashi (This is known as vegetarian dashi. )
4 cups of water
6 inches long konbu
Wipe the konbu with a clean cloth to remove dirt. (kombu shouldn't be washed under running water.) Soak the konbu in the water in a pot for one to two hours. Put on low heat and bring the water to a boil. Just before the water boils, remove the konbu.
2) Katsuobushi dashi
4 cups of water
1/2 cup of katsuobushi
Put the water in a pan and heat on medium heat. Just before the water boils, add the katsuobushi flakes. When the water boils, stop the heat and strain the broth.
3) Konbu and Katsuobushi dashi
4 cups of water
1/3 cup of katsuobushi
6 inches long konbu
Put water in a pan and soak kombu for one-two hours. Heat the water on low heat and remove the kombu just before the water boils. Add katsuobushi and turn off the heat. Strain the broth to get the first dashi. (called ichiban-dashi) *This dashi is often used for clear soup.
To make the second soup stock, put 4 cups of water and the katsuobushi and konbu, which were used to make the first dashi in a pan. Heat and let boil for a few minutes. Strain the broth. This second dashi is called niban-dashi. *This dashi is used for simmering vegetables.
4) Niboshi dashi
4cups water
1/2 cup niboshi
To prepare niboshi, gut the niboshi and remove the head. Put niboshi in water in a pan and soak for 30 minutes. Put on low heat and bring to a boil. Let it boil for a couple minutes, then stop the heat. Strain the broth. *This dashi is often used for miso soup.
5) Hoshi-shiitake dashi
4 cups water
4 hoshi-shiitake
Put water and hoshi-shiitake in a pan and soak for 10 minutes. Heat the water and turn off the heat when the water comes to a boil. Let stand for 20 minutes and strain the broth. *The shiitake can be used for other dishes.
6) Instant dashi [dashi powder]
4 cups water
1 1/2 tsp dashi powder
There are instant dashi powders available at grocery stores. If you don't have much time, use those dashi powders. Simply boil the water and add the dashi powder.
Japanese dashi is best used on the day it was made.
Made french toast with fruits, ice cream and whipped cream. YUM!! Coffee on the side... The kitties ate. We had a silent morning. I downloaded Opera and B-G was on the phone with a nurse about a patient being a bit frazzle because of the meds being given to her. She's 93yrs old and is taking so much medz I became dizzy from the list B-G was telling me. And for the paranoia she is having she's limited to certain medz as she's apparently allergic to some. Dang, she even told B-G yesterday to just put her out of her missery and kill her. She could not stand the pain any longer. I forgot to ask why she's in so much pain! Poor lady! Hopefully, I die before all that happens to me! I'm truly scared! B-G wne to round not to long ago...

They had on display that you could touch and play with! Sweet! Went to IGA got Brie cheese, baggette and fries! Had to wait for eer as the cashier made a boo boo and handled the girl in front of me the box that contained her chicken and fries. They all fell out and it had to be replaced.
