Monday, 11 October 2010. Avocado, Fig and Pomegranate salad recipe. Ah how I love Salad. It started off from trying to eat as much vegetables a day, trying different kinds and I ended up becoming obsessed with dressings and seasonal veges. I even throw in some crushed crisps when I have it for crunchy flavour. Fried onion bits comes in a plastic tub for £0.90 ish is one of my all time salad topping I always stock as well. Today I made a salad using fig, avocado, salad onion, cress, pine nuts, gem lettuce.

Sunday, 13 February 2011. Whitey "Canned Laughter" (2010) and before. After a while I am really digging some new-ish music and through Facebook fan page, I got hold of a Whitey. S new album (released 2010). I have first encountered Whitey aka Nathan J Whitey supporting Oneida in 2004 March at ICA and I was blown away by the performance. It was dark, I could hardly see what was happening on stage, but the rhythm and the obscure projection had such impact that I had to find out who it was the next day.

Monday, 15 November 2010. Dream: 15.11.10. Haven't kept my dreams here in a while. This is a short one yet very dramatic, so it ought to be remembered. In my dream, I was freelancing for Guinness World Records like I do in reality, my friend Kay whom I cover for when she's away/busy and who organizes my job, called up and said I needed to be in the office to work. The "office" is .in outer SPACE! I along with some employees who are going there (commuting? Just like in extreme underwater scenario). I coul...

Sunday, 3 October 2010. Dreams: 03.10.2010. I must have been having temperature when I dreamt this. (I've been having mild fever and sore throat). It was very vivid, scary and at the same time strangely beautiful. (just like dreams on nicotine patches! Catfish (in Japanese old drawing) we say they can predict earthquakes, but here this picture shows in Edo period had a folklore a giant catfish is causing an earthquake so people are trying to calm it. I gasped, this was the closest you could get to view t...

Doyle himself had such an aura round him that people were so k...

Saturday, 13 November 2010. Directorsound and Plinth Music. On a winter day where we tend to stay in and watch the small piece of the world framed by our window, our imagination flow into some far away nature, seaside, woods, fairground, fantasy world etc easily. Here are my friends from old times who make music perfect to accompany those fantasy-driven minds. It really is so magical how these music can change the settings we are in, and the moods. You can listen to his albums on myspace. He is also a mu...

Sunday, 26 September 2010. Fuyuko Matsui's Nihonga 松井冬子の日本画 . As I was just clicking away from someone's blog to another via some good findings on music, I bumped into Fuyuko Matsui's drawings and I just couldn't breathe! I had seen her works before (on computer screen) and it left me with some owe, but unfortunately I forgot how to search anymore until it came back to me today, that I HAD TO put it up here. In that sense, I know very well why I am attracted to Fuyuko Matsui's world for many reasons.

More of the same.....: Pear tart recipe (lazy and easy version)
http://schokosays.blogspot.com/2010/09/pear-tart-recipe-lazy-and-easy-version.html
Sunday, 26 September 2010. Pear tart recipe (lazy and easy version). I had very ripe pears, so decided to bake a pear tart. I used bought sweet tart base (usually baking section, sold for £1 or less) so not having to roll and bake the base, this recipe is super easy and preparation time is only 10 minutes. I think this can be with blueberries, apples or plums, but pear and almond combination is the best? Pear cut in half would make it pretty, but mine were small, so I sliced thinly. Ground almond 70 grams.
