1/21 Brazilian Restaurant on Date

Finding somewhere new is fun. Since John and I decided to meet up on 21st, Friday night, I was being excited whole day at work hehe.. I was browsing restaurants at Shibuya, Tokyo, for dinner and found a Brazilian restaurant near H&M in which I go to a LOT. wonder why I'd never noticed them until today...
I didn't failed to bring my digital camera on the night 'cause I was definitely doing to post here! I actually couldn't take many pictures there but these are how it looks..
We had buffet.





They give you this card. showing the green side, all staffs keep bringing you many kinds of  meat.
Lamb, many parts of beef, pork, chicken.
If you're stuffed or you don't want meat for now, turn it over and show red side which means no more meat!
and then they bring baked onion and other veges. 



 I made this salad :P Mmmm I love Olive!


 You don't need to put any seasonings especially on the pork on the right side. Amazingly tender and originally  sweet.

This is when he brought baked onion and how he does.. Watch out!

Brazilian pudding which was great! Once you put it in your mouth, it melts x)))

Last dessert. He brought bakes pineapple. It was super super sweet! (Of course, no sugar) heating boosted up its sweetness.

This is where that is. TUCANO'S LUNCH. why not try??

Chillin' out until the train comes..



ZARA

 
And right before we went to the hotel at Narita
At a coffee shop. xxxxoxoxo  my sweetie!
      
This hotel is getting like our 2nd home day by day. I feel comfort here :)



It was so much more beautiful than this shows but I like it.


Some hours before he went back to Paris.


It was so much fun! Love*

1/16 Skillet Lazagna

My sister and I were planning to make a delicious lasagna for Sunday dinner to surprise our mom. But I ended up making it from A to Z while she was watching me cooking..I started to make white sauce listening to Akon "Freedom" he he he
Lasagna is, I think, one of the easiest yummy dishes that everyone makes as a homemade meal. Though it takes a little bit of time till finishing, it looks full of love and warmth from who makes it..
Mine was good so far, though I didn't use meat at all..
Let me share what I did!
Since I didn't make it Cooked white sauce at the grocery store (totally forgot to buy), I had to make it from melting butter.

*White Sause*
Butter 60g

Flour 60g
Milk 1 Liter
Black pepper and salt to taste.
After melting butter, add flour in separately on low heat. As you know flour for white sauce is too easy to get brown, which means it's not a good result... Please make sure not to let it brown. Also add milk separately in the flour and make it a little thin sauce. Scatter black pepper and salt to taste.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***
*Ingredients*
Lasagna 12 sheets
Meat sauce 280g
Canned whole tomato 400g (I used bottled tomato sauce)
White sauce 1200g
Butter 20g
Sliced cheese 200g
A pinch of Parsley 
Apply butter throughout the oven-proof glass. This time I prepared 2 glasses because the Barilla package had 12 pieces of lasagna pastas.




Tomato sauce and meat sauce mixed.


 1.Lasagna, 2 Tomato sauce, 3, white sauce, and 4, cheese



On the 2nd heat-proof glass, I put genovese on tomato sauce. that comes out so good!


Ta-dah!
Finishing cheese, leave them for 20-30 minutes to absorb water inside pastas. This prevents it from getting watery while baking in the oven.
Preheat oven 200c. 
Put them into the oven to cook for 30 min. It starts boiling partially and gets brown.

Until this, how I did seems normal and nothing so wrong..
but
Guess what!!!!

I completely forgot we don't have an oven here! haha ha!

After I made all done and these were ready to bake, my sister, Haruka, asked me 
"Hey are you able to cook them in the microwave?"


Zee!! that was microwave! not oven. (Our microwave and oven look similar. not fixed under the kitchen sink in Western countries.)
I was speechless for the moment and decided to use a big skillet.

This.
 How is this? This actually doesn't look bad, does this? :D

I found out that we can make lasagna even if you don't have an oven! :D hehe Keep lower heat and the skillet lid on to cook for 40 minutes. Check if pastas heated well by using a toothpick or chopstick and see if ingredients aren't stuck on.


One piece. Mmmm steamyy!

All went great at the end :)

still far till you see the sun.



 Things are spinning.




You'd been sad but trying to look strong and fine no matter how hard your life had been.because you didn't want to make your family and friends worried and didn't want to be a headache in people.

"I'm strong. so I'm alright..
I can take it"


You were working on things to make your people happy 
You were pushing the hard time down inside your mind.
and you were smiling the whole time..


What you've done is so great and you've worked well.


Where's your happiness?
You might've left it somewhere in the past because you were desperate to fix things up and set up stuff well to make the life good for the moment.
It's wonderful and amazing how strongly and hardly you've worked on all the stuff

and now it's your turn to pursuit your happiness!
You deserve to be happy without any worry and fear.



 all is starting to get better like a butterfly gets ready to fly in the sky.
 because you've reached the worst.


How could it be worse anymore?



Feel breeze on your hair and cheek with your eyes closed.
Birds are chirping and flowers are sending you their scent.



Jump in the sky and catch your happiness!
You won't fall.
