2012 marks my attempt to eat better and to exercise more. I’m not sure how long the exercising will last, but I really want to try to eat healthier. So here’s my attempt to eat a more balanced meal instead of my usual carb loaded meals.
.. And a little red wine (for the heart?) and to cheer me up.

Here’s to living healthier!!

How can people eat things like this. I bought a bag so I could snack on it whenever I got hungry but every time I eat some, I get a stomachache.

Too greasy!!!

I’m really liking these silicone holder things. They usually have these in aluminum or paper but those don’t do well in the microwave.
Now I can use these to separate my different foods and not have to take them out before sticking my lunch in the microwave! :D

Today’s bento. Rice + pork leftovers from a dinner + seaweed thingys. I wonder when I’ll be able to make cute Japanese bentos :/

Published?!

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 06:02:33 -0400

An article I wrote in my upper division writing class is up for potential publication in an online magazine at school. Should I spent the time editing it and send it for submission? 0_o. Debating….

I can’t even believe that something I wrote made it so far to get published… even if it’s just a online magazine at school. I’m not even that great of a writer. After being told in high school that I was a terrible writer, I would have never imagined being in this position today. :/

It’s only been an hour since I got to work and I’ve already exhausted all of my snacks :(. I can’t wait till lunch…. Just 3 more hours …!

オムライス！(Omurice)

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 02:19:00 -0400

Omurice is one of my favorite foods. I finally gathered all of the basic ingredients necessary so I decided to make this dish! This is as complicated as my cooking gets… I rarely use so many ingredients. I’ve made this dish before, but this time I decided to get some help from Cooking with Dog.

Cooking with Dog is one of my favorite youtube channels. Francis, the dog shows you how to make a lot of yummy Japanese dishes. I found the omurice video at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTf5EgVY5uU

I used most of the same ingredients. I didn’t have canned tomatoes, but just ketchup is probably good enough. I also left the dairy cream out of the eggs since I didn’t have that either. And of course… I left out the peas because they are disgusting. I was surprised I found a bouillon cube at Pavilions!

Ingredients:

Omurice!

I got a little lazy and just placed the egg over the rice instead of placing the rice on the egg while it was in the pan. Oh well. Result is basically the same thing!

This dish is super easy to make! I am definitely considering making it again! :]

Definitely chose the wrong shirt to wear to work today. It just barely covers my stomach but when I move around, it lifts :(

Hello!

I decided to start a blog about my new journey in the working world. Thinking about using it to document thoughts, my progress (or lack thereof), my food journeys. We’ll see where this goes! :D
