These posts are so overdue, haha... ha... Day 3 Day 3 is the main Kill la Kill cosplay gathering event! The cosplay gathering is at 4pm, so I finally had time to run around the rest of the convention. First stop is the Aniplex booth, to look at Sushio's finished…

Because it seems like these Anime Expo posts are getting longer and longer, here's a quick glossery of all the weird terms that will be showing up in the following posts: Kill la Kill - an action/humor show about a delinquent high school girl named Ryuuko who wields a half…

We arrived 1 hour before the panel and we already ended up in the second overflow room... The panel is an unofficial Trigger event ran by Hiromi Wakabayashi (creative officer and writer for episode 4) and Tatsuru Tatemoto (PR representative and interpreter). The panel was mostly those two people leaking…

Hello everyone! It's summer again, which means I have time to blog once more, oh boy. Some life updates: Thanks to roommate S's awesome picks, we got a huge room! With a loft build by previous inhabitants! Thanks, roommate S! Living off campus caused our food stockpile to reach unmanageably…

We still have like 5 bunches of uneaten green onions left. Good luck, Roommate N! Please eat all of the green onions for us! So what are we going to do with all the green onions? Make green onion pancakes, of course! What is a green onion pancake? It sounds…

Pizza is one of those foods that is pretty easy to make yourself but tastes infinitely better than the store-bought versions. Once upon a time, when I was in middle school, I decided to make pizza for a cooking project. Pizza seemed pretty easy to make: you just gotta mix…

It was quite fun getting our farm boxes every week, but SURF is almost over and people are going home, so Friday will be the last day in a while that we will be getting ourfresh produce delivery. As a memoir, I'm going to dedicate this post to Farm Fresh…

Cheese fondue is the food of Roommmate S's homeland, so she's been bugging everyone about making it for a while before Roommate N caved in and agreed to make it. I was still a bit skeptical about the healthiness of this meal because it's carbohydrates dipped in liquified fat and…

Roommate S had wanted hotpot for the longest time, but we always had been too busy/had a constant food source during the school year to bother to do anything about it. During the summer however we had no board dinners and ample free time--along with the discovery that there's a…

Because I wasn't too satisfied with the results of last time's baking, I decide to try making Japanese Milk Bread again. This time, I played it safe and used bread flour instead of a mix between all-purpose flour and bread flour... The difference between all-purpose flour and bread flour is…

Today, we will take a small break from photos of food and look at photos of random craft things... The weird thing about summer is that there's no homework sets. When you get back from your [insert number here]-hour work day, you're basically free. Or at least, free to do…

We got some pluots in our farm box the other day, which is super exciting because I've never had a pluot before. A photo of the food for the week; we got one of the small-sized boxes for this week because we had SPECIAL DINNER PLANS, so there's not that…

Roommate N found some free canned beans lying around, which obviously meant that dinner that night was beans. I don't remember what sorts of beans they are; all I knew was that they're not your reguler old black beans or pinto beans or kidney beans. Anyway, Roommate N wanted to…

Warning: contains photos of dead animals. Continue reading at your own risk. Tom Mannion, the Direction of Student Activities (or, as Techers sometimes put it, "paid to give students free food"), hosted an Iron Chef event on Thursday night -- four teams of student cooks are given mystery ingredients they…

Tired of eating crappy supermarket bread, Roommate S got into a bread baking mood lately and started making bread like mad. Even Roommate N got roped into this madness. Soon, frosh cooking turned onto frosh baking -- from ciabatta to challa, we started abusing the public oven. But something felt…

Friend L really wanted macaroni and cheese and went ahead and bought the materials before anyone could object. And so once again we were roped into making things that we weren't planning to -- whatever, mac and cheese is delicious. The cheese we had wasn't very quality--it was your Generic…

Friend L really likes Mexican food and had been wanting to make tacos for weeks, so we finally caved in and made tacos for dinner today. (Friend L is one of those people with actually no cooking experience at all but somehow ends up cooking food that looks more legit…

There are times where you know exactly what you want to have for dinner and exactly the right ingredients to make it. There are also times where you don't really know what you want for dinner but have the ingredients to make some nice tasty dish that you know how…
