The girls I live with love sashimi. After Julie discovered a fish market that distributes sashimi grade salmon and tuna to all the Japanese restaurants in Waterloo, we've been getting a weekly dose of salmon sashimi.

 This is how I attained nicer skin - by eating so much fatty salmon

We specifically ask for a cut that is near the belly (contains thick layers of fat where the fat to flesh ratio is basically 1:1). And since I'm the one slicing up the sashimi, I always eat up the belly parts, or the most melt-in-your-mouth-like-butter parts, while I'm cutting it, offering some to the girls as well. Which leaves the fleshier parts to the plates on the dinner table.

Julie loves eating. I love eating. That's a reason why we are still such good friends (amongst the many other reasons, of course). At a spontaneous Spring Rolls all-you-can-eat lunch, we finished off the meal with ice cream and creme brulee. 

 The green tea ice cream

The creme brulee

Creme brulee is like creme caramel that isn't taken out of the ramekin, and with sugar sprinkled on top that is then torched until caramelized (that's the brulee part of the creme brulee).

The mango creme brulees are already pre-made, and the only thing left is to sprinkle sugar and torch it - which is done by the ever so handsome bartender. Our seats right beside the bar allowed us to have the best view of this bartender and the brulee in action. To top it off, we had the cutest waiter. Which prompts me that I should post up those food pictures soon!

Here is something I made for Halloween because it coincides with a friend's birthday.

Lime cheesecake with coconut crust

Lately I've been handling lots and lots of pork: poaching it, deep frying it, pan frying it - There's no end to what you can do with pork is what I feel like. So the next two posts will be of course some recipes for cooking with pork for lazy people. 

Because I am lazy. I like to cook, but I cook like a lazy person, always going for the shortcut to lessen time and effort *yay*

A couple of weeks ago I was already really hyped for halloween: the costumes, the food, the meeting new people, the excuse to make more food than usual...

Mangoes, oranges, ice cream, chia seeds, honey, milk, cereal

Cheesecake order a couple of weeks ago

I've been making food with my friends in mind: what they like and what they don't like. And in return, I get that overflowing feeling of accomplishment when they turn to me and say 

"Mmm, it's so yummy!"

So I'm already brainstorming halloween dessert possibilities now - pink cheesecake, pink chocolate covered munchies, pink bite sized goodies because our colors are black, white, and pink!


I'll leave you now as you need to go buy some bacon from the grocery store.

So I have to hurry and finish this PS part so I can bug my friend to go to the gym with me.

#3 is the kimchi one

The other day strawberries and bananas were on like a super sale. So I stocked up and all I ate for breakfast and lunch was strawberries and bananas. To be more specific, I had a deconstructed smoothie for breakfast. Essentially, cut up strawberries, banana, plain yogurt, chocolate milk in a bowl, with some chia seeds *yum*

So what about those days when I don't have enough time to eat breakfast (that would be every Monday for the next four months if you were wondering)? Then, of course, I would have to break my fast during the afternoon, which by then would no longer be considered breakfast. Last words:


Eat your meals dear readers!
