I recently bought~~

I went back to the Asian Grocer and bought the following:

~ Ube Wheat Cakes

~ Ube Jelly

~ Cashew Rolls

~ Buckwheat Noodles

~ Pineapple Gummies

~ Lychee Gummies

~ Hot & Spicy Banana Sauce

~ Peanut Sauce

~ Yakisoba Sauce

~ Aloe and White Grape Juice

~ Aloe and Peach Juice

~ Mango Calpico

~ Pineapple Extract

Sooooo~

I certainly did not just buy all of these things and not do anything with them! ^-^ I'm going to tell you what I've done so far~

Sunday~

I boiled some buckwheat noodles and drained them.

Then, I tossed in some soy sauce and pineapple extract. It resulted in a salty flavor with a sweet pineapple after taste!

And, I've tried the Ube Wheat Cakes. They are amazing.

Here's a photo, closest thing I could find to mine on google. So I suppose this is almost what they look like, but I will take a picture of mine and post it soon~

Until then, I found this picture on yahoo image search of something close to them:

Also, the Cashew Rolls are too.

Shii doesn't like the Cashew Rolls.

They taste great though so whatever! Lol!

I made some onigiri recenly, not just for myself but some friends were requesting it! Plus, I really wanted to make one for Shii!

So, I made the following:

For the short grain rice, I decided to add a little color and [I hoped it'd add] some flavor too! I used some pineapple extract in my rice. It certainly turned my rice bright yellow but I must not have added enough because the flavor was barely there.

Anyway, I used ube jelly to fill two of them. One was Shii's. He likes more filling for his onigiri then rice. So I had a ball about an 2 or 3 cenimeters thick and a little coat of rice around the bottom two thirds of it. The other rice balls looked normal though. Haha.

One of the others was made also with ube jelly. That went to my friend Wendy. And I made one with pear slices that were sturated in sugar for a night and that one was supposed to be for my friend Sami, but she came late. I thought she wasn't coming, and I gave it to my other friend Teresa.

Haha. Wow. Now, I have to make Sami another. So when I do, I will take pictures. It should be Sunday night or Monday morning.

And, so far that's really all that I've done. I was pretty lazy last week. Haha.

I'll likely be back soon for more posting~
