オカラケーキ

小麦粉、バターなし、レンジでできるおからケーキ!! 普通のカップケーキとは明らかに違うけど、カロリー控えめ、食物繊維のかたまりが取れて良い感じ。
メープルシロップがたまらなく合います(^.^)

Girls' party

Good food, good drinks and beautiful company. I had a great time tonight. It's so nice to have some casual friends who listen to you and understand your feelings. Thank you all for encouraging, it's going to be a great weekend!

広東風チャーハン♪

早く帰れたので、前々から作ってみたかったチャーハンを作って食べました。白ご飯はそのままでも食べられるので敢えて手を加えることは少ないんだけれど、やはり本場ソースだけあって美味でした!! タイ米なら完璧。

米一合は炊いたら330グラムになると調べて、ソースに書いてあるご飯必要量が630グラムだったので、四合か…多いな、二回に分けて作ろう、と思い、ご飯二合にソースを半分だけ使ってえらく味薄いな…と感じようやく計算ミスに気がついた。もはや計算ミスとか呼べるレベルでもない…。。実験でもこんなことしてたりして。恐ろしい…簡単な計算ほど、確認しないからなぁ〜

美味しかった〜

近いうちに豆腐ケーキも焼きたい! 料理熱再来中☆☆

-1C

sooooo cold... freezing both inside and outside the room.

I wonder how long will it be like this.. Two more months?

So many things to consider and so many to do but just not in the mood.

One more day for the weekend!
I want to rest so badly! Too cold to take shower.. Too cold to take off my thick jacket..

I'm into baking..

These contain soybean curd refuse. It smells really like beans. I'm going to have them for breakfast tomorrow morning:)

週末の友

I'm trying to write a report analyzing the data I have collected so far. It feels as if it was my master's thesis!

The kind, respectable man

It's no good news.

A man I got to know in Australia has been diagnosed cancer and his life is only a few months left.

The news astonished me.

Although I met him just once, more than a year ago, I still consider him as a friend and respect his skills and experience as well as his warm, generous personality. So, it was just hard to believe. How is he feeling now? How on earth would it feel to know that you have only several months?

I wanted to send him a message, but I didn't. What could I say to him?
"I heard you are sick"? "Are you feeling better now?" "I hope it is not too painful"? They all sound so inappropriate. It's nothing but torture for him. But is he going to leave without contacting anybody? Maybe his close friends are visiting him?

He still reports to the office, doing work as if nothing was wrong. I have heard a similar story from my mum about one of her ex-colleagues, who also suffered from cancer with some months left and went to work normally until two days before he passed away. So doing the same daily routine might give patients relief, that is totally understandable.

It makes me want to cry when I think of him. Even though I cannot say anything to him directly, I always care about him, and wish his days will be filled with comfort.

It taught me that we might lose somebody all of a sudden, or things might change drastically out of the blue, and our normal peaceful life is so fragile and easy to be disturbed. It is truly valuable that we can end the day without any problem.....
