All Hail Kimchi!

We were walking by T&T Supermarket and looking around to see if there was anything interesting we can find for dinner. We came across pre-made inari package – translated is Seasoned Fried Bean Curd. The brand that was available is called Misuzu, it was on sale for $2.99. (I forgot to take a picture of the package. I will when we buy them again next time! I think I will be having these in upcoming future since I need to make lunch for school again soon.) You can also buy them in a can, also seasoned!

It is really easy to make. It suggests that you boil the package into hot water for 2-3 minutes. We skipped the Japanese instruction but it didn’t seem to matter. The package we bought made 12, so it seems like 2 cups of rice seem to be enough.

All you need is:

- Sushi Rice (I assume you know how to make those already. Cook the rice, toss in vinegar.)
- Seasoned inari packages
- Kimchi! (Optional)

We decided to throw in some kimchi since the sushi rice seems too plain. Luckily, we have some laying around!

It is my dinner time right now. That makes me so hungry! We ran out of inari packages at home so we’re making kimchi sushi tonight… I think!

I See You There…

I haven’t forgotten about this place! It is just that I haven’t done anything interesting, or I think interesting that warrants an update. I swear I’m going to work on my photography blog thing because what a waste if I don’t! I should make a landing page too if I’m going to have more than one thing on this domain.

Or do people not do landing pages anymore? I will need to reroute the blog to a separate page then. Hmm.

The last time I updated my Movies page was at Terminator 2! That was at movie 71. Now it’s up to movie 86! I am watching a movie after this blog entry and hopefully a few more of those Futurama movies will bump me to up 90 soon. At least I know I will make it to 100 movies this year, after trying to reach that mark for so many years!

At this point I’m just looking to going back to school. I can’t believe my summer break is finally almost over. It will be nice getting back to a normal routine. I’m just not looking forward to waking up at 6:30 when it’s still freakishly dark outside.

Before that, I still have a Vancouver Canadians (baseball) game to go to, grabbing my U-Pass and new Student ID, and a Photo-Walk with my tweeps! Despite my hermit-like state this summer, I actually did a lot of things with my parents and friends. Maybe I’ll do a recap thing in the near future to celebrate the Summer Break of 2011.

I seriously still can’t believe there was a person up at that sign. I didn’t even notice until I put up the picture on Flickr and started typing in the comment box. Where was I during the editing process?

PS: And now it’s 87 movies since I re-watched Jeux d’enfants (Love Me if You Dare) between starting this post, editing and uploading photos onto Flickr, and finishing this post.

Harrison Lake and Links. Separately.

On Monday, I went to Harrison Lake with the folks. It was touch and go weather-wise, but it stayed mostly cloudy with a bit of sun peeking out whenever it can. It almost took us 2 hours driving to get there with a short stop at KFC. We didn’t go the Highway 1 way, rather taking the Highway 7 (and semi slower speed 90km/hr vs 110km/hr) route. There were no one around so I assume it was an easier ride. (I wasn’t the one driving…)

Quack.

Just Peaceful.

Showboating, eh?

The entire time we were joking how there was no difference looking at the pictures taken at Harrison Lake or from the stops we took at Alaska. Giant lake, trees, glaciers. Hahaha. I guess it’s because we’re so used to seeing this that it doesn’t faze us anymore.

I haven’t be very active with photo retouching and uploading them to Flickr or Facebook. I’ve been pretty slack on myself this week. I find myself playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 the past few days and today started playing Sims 2 again. It certainly brings back memory seeing the old legacy families that I used to have. (I remembered to save the neighbourhoods and the downloadables!)

It’s a Late Night edition of Friday Five… of Links!

Shit My Students Write – Students BS their work every day. Now you get to see how bad it is. Don’t eat or drink while you read this.
Nerdi - A collection of useful sites and tools for web design, such as the Grid System, Colour Generator, etc. I definitely recommend bookmarking this!
Dribbble - Looking for inspiration? Look no further to this site where users post bits and pieces of their WIPs (Work-In-Progresses???).
GetGlue - Like Foursquare, check into what you’re doing or watching to earn stickers (..and the points don’t matter!). You can even early physical copies of the sticker. I’m still waiting for my order… it’s been 2 months, I think. Whoops.
Ninite – This site should be pretty popular and well-known. But nothing like reiterating it again. Select the programs you want and it downloads all in a batch! It includes useful programs like web browsers, media, run-time, messenger programs.

PS: No, I have not seen Harry Potter yet. /hides

Also, I think I’m going to forgo the tags. It’s pretty useless if I already have them sorted by categories. Going to fix that tomorrow or Sunday, depending if I go out tomorrow.
