Dad is gone too

I dread nights like these.
Woke up from a dream of my mom retching, mixture of phlegm and blood spew
out from her throat onto the sofa.
My mind has ...

Miso Soup with Daikon and Tofu & Snap Peas, Daikon, and Egg Soup
The First dish is Miso Soup with Daikon and Tofu. This dish was pretty good, not delicious. This I found odd because I LOVE the taste of Miso. I think Miso is absolutely delicious! Though for some reason I found it be average.
The second dish is Snap Peas, Daikon, and Egg Soup. This dish had a unique flavor; a little spicy yet somewhat sweet. I really liked this dish! I will admit I did not add the two scallions the recipe called for. The only scallions I can find are still the pickled ones; which I am not fond of.
If anyone would like the recipes for these dishes just leave a comment or email me at laylalavae@live.com. Or you can buy the book Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat. The dishes I prepare are from that book.

Salmon-Edamame Burgers and Spinach with Bonito Flakes
Sorry I left you guys hanging for so long. Over the past several days I have cooked numerous dishes. The first dish is Salmon-Edamame burgers. It was quite delicious. The process was very messy and each patty seemed to fall apart more and more. However after a long and somewhat frustrating process I finally had eight Salmon-Edamame burgers. I know for a typical burger you would place the patty between two buns and add a few condiments. Although I thought they were much tastier by themselves.
Spinach with Bonito Flakes was the second dish I prepared. This dish was incredibly delectable. Instead of regular dashi I used instant dashi for this dish. I was a little worried that it would not be as tasty as regular dashi; however, I found it to be just as good. Also it saves so much time!

Only You...
Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you Love Valentine’s Day? Or do you Hate it? Typically I would call this holiday National Chocolate Day! However since I am not supposed to gorge on chocolate; others decided to help the cause by not buying chocolate for me. Nonetheless a couple friends of mine held true to the tradition (Yay Friends). Still I decide to buy myself a Valentine’s Day gift. It is a Teddy Bear! It is so cute! I purchased it for only three dollars at Wal-Mart. However how much I spent it or where I purchased it does not matter. Because it is incredibly cute! Ok now I am going to spend the remainder of my day watching movie adaptations of Jane Austen’s books (it is one of the corny girlie things I do).

Dreams Come True 夢の実現
What inspires you? What gives you hope? What makes you believe that anything is possible? What encourages you to always keep moving? Is it an object? Or is it a person? Or is it something else entirely? Tell me!
What pushes me forward is self-motivation. My motivation wants me to prove those who doubted me wrong. To show them that I am capable of making my dreams come true. I think this self-motivation is in everyone. However I will say you must have patience as well. For some all they need to do is try once and everything falls into place. For others they have to try repeatedly for someone to even notice them among the others.
Hope exists above anything else.
何が、あなたを奮起させますか？何が、あなたに望みを与えますか？何が、あなたを何でも可能であると思わせますか？何が、あなたが常に動き続けるのを奨励しますか？それは、物ですか？または、それは人ですか？または、それは完全に何か他のものですか？私に言ってください！
私を推進することは、自己動機づけです。私の動機づけは、私に誤って私を疑った人々を証明して欲しいです。私が製作ができることを彼らに明らかにするために、私の夢は実現します。私は、この自己動機づけが誰ででもあると思います。しかし、私はあなたには同様に忍耐がなければならないと言います。いくつかのために、彼らがする必要があるすべては一度をためすことです、そして、すべてはぴったり収まります。他のために、彼らは誰かのために繰り返し他の間で彼らにさえ気がつこうとしなければなりません。
望みが、他に何かより上に存在します。

^Contacts^
Quick Update...
New Contacts… The first pair of trial version contacts was Soflens. I visited the optometrist Tuesday and he gave me a new pair to try. With Soflens my eyes felt really dry and they would constantly go in and out of focus (I am not saying this brand is the same with everyone). The new brand is Optix. They are incredible! I wore them all day today and yesterday! With the Soflens I could only wear them for few hours before they became unbearable! My optometrist thought (at first) that because of my severe astigmatism I would find all contacts unbearable. He went onto saying that less than 20% with my prescription have had success with contacts. However once he looked closer he saw that I had matter in both of my eyes. At that time he decided to let me try the Optix brand.
