Fresh blueberry!!

*****Macha cake and Blueberries*****

I prepared macha (= Green tea) cake for friends BBQ party, but that was not enough to serve everybody. So I decided to eat at home.
It turned out well. I got one pack of fresh blueberry for my macha cake.
I could eat it as fresh, but I made blueberry sauce before it ruined.

Recipe:
- Fresh blueberry..... 200g
- 1/2 Lemon ..... Squeeze
- Brown sugar .....60g

It's so easy. You just mix everything together and boil. Then cook 4-5 minutes in the low heat.
*cooking*

I could have another cake next day:))

My friend's BD is 13th and I'm 16th of July. So we celebrated our BD each other in my room.

Tiramisu at home

***First time to fix***

I love to eat Tiramisu at restaurant. I never thought I could make one at home until Ginny asked me about that. I felt like to make one this weekend, so I did it!!!

It was tasty and didn't take much time for preparation.

These are today's ingredients.

You just mix egg york and mascapone cheese, then add meringue. Layer soaked cookies by espresso-brandy and mixer on the dishes. Put on the cocoa powder before serving.

Tiramisu will be my favorite cooking:)

Our family made "mochi" which is rice cake at home. It is part of the Japanese tradition to make mochi for New Year's in the end of December. Most of Mochi will use New Year cooking, but some of the portion we ate in fresh on December 30, 2007.

All the images of Mochi:
