my dad's taken to the movie 'taken' very much. using it very much to his advantage. playing the 'see what happens when you go off on your own' card a lot. it's just a movieee...

anyhow, i cooked dinner tonight, and the dessert (castella~) turned out good this time. XD tonight's dinner was

*miso saba (saba [mackeral] in miso)
*nasu to shitake miso shiru (miso with grilled eggplant and shitake mushrooms)
*lotus root with coriander and spring onion patties

i chanced upon a lonesome tub of hikari miso paste in the fridge. as you can see my inspiration XD lotus root patties came out a little weird. i think i need to work on it, or rather try somthing else with lotus root.

my castella cake turned out great! XD this time i just kept the electric whisk going the entire time, and the mixing bowl was pre-heated. happy~ V^^ yea! though i think castella's more of an indulgence. 8 eggs! and 300g of sugar. gotta watch the waistline...

now to brainstorm on tmr's lunch. i'm starting to not like my tuesday afternoons. two hours all by myself. :((
