Cooking for Mikko's Birthday


Soba Soup with Crunchy Tofu Squares

Because it was Mikko's birthday yesterday and I barely had money to buy him a gift, I decided to make him a Japanese lunch as my gift to him. Along with cooking for him, I also decided to include as my gift, teaching him how to make California Maki. Our lunch started late because I wasn't able to buy some of the other ingredients earlier, but I'm glad that he enjoyed the meal and the lesson.

For our Japanese lunch, our menu consisted of:

  • Yakimeshi (Japanese Fried Rice)
  • Tonkatsu (Breaded Pork Chops)
  • Soba Soup with Crunchy Tofu Squares
  • California Maki

The meal was quite heavy and I realized after we ate that I still overestimated the amount of food I cooked. I'm learning though so it's all good. The whole process was tiring, even with help from our helpers, but very enjoyable. I find myself really loving cooking which is making me want to take up Culinary Arts sometime in the future. Well, if I can't take up Culinary Arts, I could always attend cooking lessons to improve my cooking skills.

Well, I have to go now. Work to do. Until next time!

fun fun fun at the fair!

i had so much fun at the fair at my old high school, st. paul college pasig, last night. it was so so so so so so so so so so so (i think you get my point ^^) much FUN last night at the variety show. ^^ not only because the show kicked ass, but also because it's the first time in a looooooooong time that i spent time with the pop peeps and i sooooooooo miss them! anyways, the variety show started with a performance by the preschoolers after the singing of the pambansang awit by MAC. after that, the grade school faculty gave their performance. then there was a fashion show called couture 2004 and i went on commenting on the models and their clothes (i couldn't help it! i'm sorry!). i mean, it is a fashion show and fashion shows are supposed to help you appreciate a certain style of clothes or wearing clothes or mixing up clothes. if the models can't project the clothes well, then they wouldn't make good models. i expect models to be able to bring the clothes he/s
