Ramblings of a Crowe

Mochi Mochi

I'm not much of a cook. Actually, I hate cooking. I really suck at it. I have the attention span of a mop to boot. However, since my extended vacation from my job, I find myself growing bored. Oh, I put in applications and spend most mornings searching various websites for employment, but I haven't had any takers yet. I'll probably end up working at Pet Smart or something like that (no offense to people who work there, BTW). Anyway, the rest of my time I go to the gym, come home and wait by the phone while surfing the net or playing videogames.

*sigh*

For the longest time, I've been miffed that my city has no good Japanese establishments. I can't even get so much as a bowl of Miso Ramen in this town. So, I took matters into my own hands today. I went on a mission to make Mochi, that gummy stuff the Japanese love at New Years and other festive times. On a whim, I decided I'd make curry for dinner. The internet gave me the recipes, and I did have to do some searching at different stores for the ingredients, but my experiments turned out quite well.

We all had curry for dinner and had a good laugh over the Mochi. It turned out okay--but DAMN, the recipe sure made a shit load of it. Next, I think I'm gonna try dango and yakitori. I'll have to recover for a few days though. Too much cooking will most definitely tire me out--or burn down our house.
