Frills and Sprinkles: I can't believe it's almost Christmas
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2011/12/i-cant-believe-its-almost-christmas.html
Saturday, December 10, 2011. I can't believe it's almost Christmas. We visited Florida for Thanksgiving. I baked 4 different financiers to bring with us. Pecan and chocolate chips, Almond and English tea, Almond and Green tea, Hazel nuts and chocolate. Too bad I finished my green tea powder. It really gave nice taste of green tea. I must put that on the list of the things to buy in Japan. We were able to have very down to earth Japanese breakfast next morning. Korean tofu is so tasty. Natto is one of the...

Frills and Sprinkles: May 2011
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Ricotta vs. Béchamel Sauce for Lasagna. But One day, I realized that the milk gravy that is used for southern fried chicken is basically béchamel sauce. I am not sure why fried food has to be smothered with butter, milk and flour, but it tastes good and J likes food like that, so I made fried chicken with milk gravy. We definitely preferred the one with béchamel sauce. It brings the taste of meat forward whereas the ricotta is watering down (or ricottaing down? Links to this post.

Frills and Sprinkles: October 2011
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 29, 2011. The time passes so quickly when you are busy. After I started the school, it's been non-stop! Studying for general study classes, producing projects for art class, finishing painting the rooms, taking care of family, and my minuscule Etsy business. The lilly leaves get red, too. I didn't know that! I love water lilies. We need to go back there when it gets warm to see them blooming. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Frills and Sprinkles' photostream.

Frills and Sprinkles: Woven Shibori
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2012/03/woven-shibori.html
Monday, March 5, 2012. How the fabric is folded after gathering the fabric is really interesting . It reminded me of paper folding in a way. The folds come to 2 sides of the fabric and I used different colors to dye it, and here it is. It's very interesting looking. I loved it! So I realized it is very different from Japanese fabric Shibori technique. You can use the thread to resist dye, but I found it more interesting to use the thread to make pattern for folding.

Frills and Sprinkles: September 2011
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 10, 2011. The curtain has been opened. The whole one year I spent after we moved to East Tennessee seemed so empty to me. Because I didn't work at all. I wasn't really happy. It was like construction and painting after the construction, and new construction and more painting and new construction. Anyway, that is almost done. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Frills and Sprinkles: New Year in Japanese style
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-year-in-japanese-style.html
Friday, January 13, 2012. New Year in Japanese style. So it's a ritual that I have to go through every year. Therefore, I couldn't leave my American husband and American daughter until the New Years day is over to visit my parents in Yokohama. It's a kind of funny that I couldn't make it to have New Year day in Japan because I had to do Japanese New Year in East TN. But I was able to catch the trail of Japanese New Year in Kyoto. One of the biggest reason that I love visiting Kyoto is that everything is ...

Frills and Sprinkles: December 2011
http://frillsandsprinkles.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. We visited Florida for Christmas. It was so warm! It was pretty chilly last year, so we weren't expecting to swim in the pool but it was warm enough to do so. I usually would think it's nice to feel warm air, but for Christmas, and the fact that I was not expecting the warmth, it was too much. But we had a very nice time with family. It was raining on the Christmas morning. On and off. I looked outside from the patio, and there was a rainbow! Links to this post. Thanksgiving in...
