Meriko, I'm thinking of making rice balls and was looking on wikipedia to see what I can fill them with. One of the possible fillings was something called "Shirako". The wikipedia entry on the ingredient scares me. Please enlighten me on exactily what it is.

Btw, the pic IS awesome.

Shirako is literally "white children." *ROFL* And...whatever you found in wikipedia that scared you is probably correct. It's the squishy sperm bag in male fish. I think only a few different types are eaten, such as fugu and tara.

Another standard is umeboshi. Pickled plums. Very sour.

Katsuobushi (shaved dried bonito) is also good. I mix it with a bit of soy sauce and shredded umeboshi

0_0 Yeeeah. Wikipedia just listed it as "fish sperm" not the "bag" it comes from. I can't tell which seems less appetizing.

I've been looking for bonito shavings, but they don't sell it in the generic "asian" section of my local grocery stores. I'll probally be forced to buy it from one of thoes preppy sushi places in the new-age hippie section of town..

My mom oftens uses pot.

..no, not the drug. It's a red bean paste. I don't know the japanese term for it. It can be quite sweet. ^^ It's similar to some of the stuff you can put in Mochi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi

Your mentioning of Mochi makes me suddenly want to play monster rancher 2 again.

The only Japanese foods I've ever attempted to make are rice balls, dango, okonomiyaki (which I failed miserably at making), and various soups with noodles like soba and udon.

I'm not very skilled at cooking.

Gonna need more than a mop, but thanks.

It's all about this guy: dramallama

LJ Drama. I've played MapleStory for a while, as you know, and I recently went to check out the MapleStory LJ community (as I've been a member there for quite some time but haven't checked in there in a while).

There's like a dozen script kiddies in there all discussing how to hack the game and different botting techniques. A moderator deleted a botting post and they go haywire demanding to know which moderator had deleted it. Now there's a huuuge debate that's been going on all day on whether or not discussion of hacking the game should be allowed.

I tossed in my key points on how it's ILLEGAL not only by NXGames' Terms of Use, but also by UNITED STATES LAW to modify, bypass, robot, or otherwise maliciously edit the software, and they still claim they should be allowed to discuss their "techniques" all throughout the community.

God, what little kids they are. >.< Regardless of the outcome, I give up on that place. It's a waste of my time, the jerks.

That is such a Miri post. X3 <3


^^

Midnight: surprisingly not! And I've been out on the beach and in the sun! I was so surprised that I was not a lobster again.


O.o you're braver than i I'm going no were near a beach! I dont think i was meant for the sun, i was at work (i work outdoors on a theme park) and in england for that matter, it was supposedly the hottest day or the year so we didnt have to wear our work uniform tops so i wore a vest top, i was covered in suncream since i hate heat, but now I'm a 'lobster' and hell it hurts, *dares not lean in back in her computer chair)

EDIT: and Meri is the responsible mod here! O.o lol. On a side note its looking like it will turn out to be a good picutre ^.^


I was so surprised though, because I was thereevery two days, or the water park....

I'm not suppose to be in the sun either but somehow, I got luckly.
But I know it wont hold out. Just watch I'll get a bad sunburn from sitting outside in my car driving!
If it ever stops storming here!

Meri: OoO~ Nice picture!
