I'm full

Had such a good time today. There was so much good stuff to eat. I'm just to full to blog about it now. I did get to pick up a few more varieties of Pocky for my Pocky Quest. - yum.

Little Tokyo has to be one of my favorite food destinations

Happy New Years!

Happy 2008 everyone. About to head down to Little Tokyo for their New Year's event. I look forward to eating the food and watching the entertainment. I definitely want some Yakisoba and some Mochi and I love the sound of the Taiko drums. Last Year was our first year attending and we had a great time. January is going to be a busy time for our family and I actually look forward to being fully present in every event, activity that I go to.




Let this year be the year we make a difference.

Pocky CM featuring Oreskaband

This commercial combines two things that have been on my mind lately - Pocky and Oreskaband. So far no new flavors to add to my quest for the Pocky fix but I do plan on hitting Little Tokyo for New Years so I'll see what flavors I can pick up then.

Christmas Songs to end 2007

Well I've added two more to my quest. Current Flavors:
1. Tahitian Vanilla
2. Strawberry (w/ flavor crystals)
3. Strawberry
4. Coconut

Is this the best Widget ever?

My love of food knows no boundaries.

Yummmm, Pocky

Pocky Quest - 2 flavors

In life I think it is important to have goals. Well one of my goals is to try every single Pocky there is. Yeah I know it won't save lives or anything, but I pick my goals and you pick yours. I've had a few before but starting today I will keep track. I'll let you know how it goes

So far
1. Tahitian Vanilla
2. Strawberry

Korean BBQ Project

Well in my quest to make some Korean BBQ I did purchase this table top Electric Grill at Marukai Market. I'm excited to try it out. I've been searching the internet for various recipes. I still plan on going to Korean BBQ restaurants from time to time but I just think it will be fun to also do something at home - and economical. I'm also going to try to make some Panchan but I'm not crazy I'm buying the Kimchi. Never had Soju before but may get one bottle just to try. It would most likely be a flavored one though since when we went to Manna I kept wanting to try their flavored Soju's but didn't. I'll let you know how it all turns out. I have the camera ready

Korean BBQ - in search of recipes

Korean BBQ is something that I crave from time to time. Fortunately there are many Korean BBQ places to try but it gets expensive. I would like to learn how to make some at home for those low fund days. Any recipes you want to share?
