cookpad

These days I made meals by myself. I like made new meals and tried to cook. When I make some meals, I often see a website "cookpad." It is the site that many people contribute their original menu. I also see some reviews. I think it is very useful to everyone who want to try to cook. I made tenshindon whose recipe was from the site. I could make nice one and it was very easy to make. I want to keep checking the site and making nice meals. I also want to make some desserts. For example, cake jelly and so on. I only made cake which made from yogurt so I want to try to make some dessert. The cake was a little sower but tasted good. It was the recipe from some young girl. (137 words, total 9,797 words)

Takopa☆

On last Friday, some friends of mine and I held "takoyaki party." It was the first time I made takoyaki by myself. So I wondered I can make it. One of them taught me how to turn takoyaki. Thanks to her advise, I could make it! In addition, we also had tuna spaghetti, spaghetti Naporitana and grilled wieners. It tasted good, so I had lots of them. After we had them, we enjoyed talking and play some games. It was very exciting and funny. I wanted to enjoyed more but I had to get up early the next morning. So one of them and I went to bed earlier than them. I want to held parties again! (118 words)

High School Musical

I borrowed three DVDs from a friend of mine. These DVDs are the series of High School Musical. I had never watched them, so she lent me them. It was so interesting and exciting movies. After I watched them, I wanted to sing songs like High school musical casts. I want to practice to sing songs well. Almost of all songs which were sung in the movies had no lyrics, so I will search the lyrics as soon as possible. I like almost of all casts, I especially like Taylor who are a friend of Gabriella. She is cute and I like her smiling face. I also like Ryan he has cheerful looks, so I often laughed by his looks. When I watched HSM~senior season~, I was crying. I especially moved the scene which Troy announced his dream to everyone. I want to watch the series again and again until the friend of mine permit me. Through watching the movies, I could study useful phrases in English. (167 words)

M.T.H #15 ~Viking Ships at Sunrise~

The serpent's head rose higher and higher above the water. Jack couldn't
move. "He's beautiful!" said Annie. "Beautiful?" cried Jack. The serpent's neck
was as tall as a two story building. Its green scales were covered with sea
slime.

I haven't read the series of books these days. I forgot a little of the story first. While I was reading the book, I gradually remember the story. It was a adventure at the age of Viking; called Dark Age. I learned about the Viking as I was high school student, so I was glad to be able to know about them on this story. I thought that Jack and Annie were very brave. They could get back to the house if they didn't worn to monks. Even if they know it was dangerous to them, they chose the way to help the monks. I want to view the real Viking ship someday.
