Eating, Meeting, Mighty, Money

What are you gonna eat tonight? I ate Port cutlet with vegetable stir fry and brown rice. I tried a new recipe from Japanese TV because it looked easy and delicious.  I used frozen thin sliced pork. Paste mixture of beaten egg, flour, salt and pepper on the meat and coat with bread crumbs like this. and cooked with 50cc of vegetable oil. The TV recipe says needs to cook only for 5 minutes but it took nearly 30 minutes! This is called mille-feuille cutlet. I guess thin layers looks like mille-feuille pie. Nice. But I wonder it will be enough for 2 adults and 2 kids.. I thinly cut carrot, asparagus and garlic. pour some stir fry sauce from Trader Joes.. Sour and sweet. With yesterday's left over brown rice and hand made kimchee by Korean neighbor. It was a nice dinner again. I am using PFOA Free Non-stick Stone Cookware By the way, Valentine's day is coming soon. I make t-shirts and sold at  Peace Wing Apparel

This day's dinner was Omellette Rice. (O mu le tsu in Japanese) Under thin egg layer, there's fried rice. I made with asparagus, green onion and sausage (nitrate free.) I used brown rice. My husband doesn't like rice, especially brown one. I had to make potato omelet with cheese. The pic above is before I flip the omelet. With Japanese probiotic soup, miso soup. Bon appetit!! I use PTFE and PFOA FREE non stick frying pan.

My husband has acid reflex though he has mild one so that he doesn't have to take medicine. He would feel his stomach doesn't feel right after eating certain food like oatmeal, bagel and steak. Because it only happens sometimes, he didn't bother to go see a doctor and  didn't even know what it was until when he had choking sensation while he had dinner with his friends. He felt his food doesn't go down to the stomach and just stuck in the middle of the road then bubble started coming out from his mouth. after he spit out the form he felt better. His friend saw him and said. "You have acid reflex!" You see a lots of commercial on TV for medicine for acid reflex like Tums, Zantac, Prirosec.. Seems like a lot of Americans suffer from this condition. Coming from Japan I would get heartburn just seeing those greasy burgers on commercials. My husband knows a friend who also suffered from acid reflex worse than his and he feels much better after taking aloe...

I have been using iPhone (3!) since summer of 2011. I don't have an expensive media plan so I use wifi at my house or wherever free wifi is available. I use the camera & video a lot. It's so nice that you can take pictures  & videos of my kids and send e-mail to grandpa and grandma. One of the things I do with my phone is keeping track of dinner using notes. I cook almost every day.  It's nice to write down that info so that I don't cook the same thing twice in a week and it's  good brain training. Soon I will be eligible for the new phone.  I can't wait to get iPhone 4 or 5!

We had a 5 year old vacuum cleaner but it didn't clean very well. On new years day, my husband tried to fix it and totally broke it. We needed a new one. I always wanted a Dyson vacuum cleaner but thats way beyond our budget (usually over $400.) On one Sunday at Macy's, we saw a Bissell vacuum and my husband says this is the same vacuum as the one he  sometimes uses at work and it works great and easy to toss the dust and clean the filter. I thought it does looks similar to Dyson. I wanted a small canister style but if vacuum works great, why not? The price was $109. On the Friday morning, I was browsing newspaper (we only subscribe Thurs to Sun) I saw a Macy's morning sale ad and the sale was between 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Fri and Sat only. I had a cold and I totally lost my voice on that day, but I determined to get one and I did with my 18 month girl! The vacuum was heavy and my girl was being good girl. I could park nice spot. I don't think I could park this good s...

I have a tiny garden at my new apartment. I planted some flowers and vegetable plants. Mint. I made some tea with this. This herb is very strong and grow well. I'll dry them when it grows more. Aloe can be used when you have minor burns and cuts. It's still small but I planted red perilla (called Shiso in Japanese ) next to aloe. Mini tomato.  has some fruits already! I can't wait!
