Dear Sainsbury's...
I get that you have problems with giving simple instructions, since the "recipe" for my pasta bake said to pierce the lid, place on oven tray and cook for either 15 or 25 minutes depending on if I read the text or the little graphic. So when it was dinner time, I followed the 15 minute instructions, because I figured I could check up on it and adjust as necessary. Therefore it is completely unfair that I found the inside of the container to be made of roasted cracked plastic, when you said the damn thing was oven safe and I should put it on a fucking tray.
Dear everyone else: just so you know, it's possible to have a good reason to eat crumpets for dinner.

Yum...
It turns out that fresh pot noodles are absolutely delicious.
(By which I mean I found and bought a "just add boiling water" style pot noodle in the fridge section of M&S, full of fresh vegies, and it's very tasty. Even the prawns.)
((Also of note, a realisation on the way back from the shops: if doing something mind-numbingly boring all day long makes me want to kill myself, I should probably put off doing any more of it until I'm home and have a decent support network. By which I mean someone to go drinking with afterwards.))

Lunchtime!...I've been very disconcerted recently by loaves of bread with "not for ducks" printed on the packaging. If the ingredients are bad for ducks, are they really good for humans?
ETA: It's a viral marketing campaign. Google before posting, Catherine.
ETA2: I'm still not certain I want to eat that.

Feed me...So after all those years of not being able to buy lunch at uni because I was poor (I'd just bring a packed lunch or go hungry if I forgot), I finally have enough cash to be able to buy lunch whenever I want and I discover a terrible truth: all the food on campus is terrible greasy gross gunk.
I'm terribly disappointed, and I'd rather go hungry.

Yo all. I'm a little tired today, and I can't really remember what I was going to post about, so I'll just have to write a couple of different posts in between doing my housework.
But first thing's first. For those who requested it, here is the recipe for mochi that I made:
Mochi in Peanut Sauce
I've got some other recipes that I'll post as I try them, along with reviews and stuff.
James and I are currently up to Sailor Moon ep42, for anyone who is keeping up with that story.
Oh, and I spent two hours last night setting up a message board on this site. You can view it here.

Today I made mochi.
Weirdest stuff on earth.
Actually, I'm not sure that I made it right, well, at least, maybe my shop's definition of mochiko is different to that of the person who wrote the recipe, for I made it exactly to the recipe.
But the peanut butter sauce was yummy.
So was the mochi, truth be told.
Yet it was the strangest stuff... It was really odd, in that when a light pressure is applied, the mochi dough behaved as a liquid, but when you put some omph in it, it seems to shatter like a solid. Really weird.
But I had fun anyway.
In the interests of improving my mochi, I'm going to put a formal request here:
Send me your recipes!!!!
Oh, and odango recipes are also welcome!!!
*hugs*
