International Beer Day!

Mood:


Yay! For beer!  I personally don't drink it, but this is for the people who do. I can't drink it because of health reasons, and I don't like the taste.  (I really want to like it, but it tastes nasty to me.) But, it makes a lot of people happy, and that's great. Also, it's good in cooking. So, in a way, I can still appreciate it. 


Wow! It's getting much warmer than what was predicted. Kind of nice. Although, according to the forecast, it's going to be in the high 60's few a days starting tomorrow. So, going from the 80's to 60's. Wahoo! Our weather swings too much. But, it could be wrong, like it was for today. 


I woke up late. Only, because I couldn't get to sleep last night. When I finally got to sleep, a minute later, my alarm went off.  So, I decided to catch up a bit on the sleep I missed. 


Oh, and supposedly later, we're going to Costco.  We were supposed to go at 12:30, I don't think it's happening.  Might tomorrow. Everytime I've gone, and actually have looked at their stuff, I'm amazed with it. And, we've gotten a lot of good stuff before. Most lasts us about 1 to 2 months. It's kind of fun, that way. 


I watched Ando Natsu. She visited her parents' graves, and her grandmother in the hospital. It was kind of sad.  Her grandma gave her some money and told her to never come back, because she'll be stuck there. Plus, her grandma doesn't have much time left.

I finished the intro part of the recipe, and the ingredients list. This was a lot easier than the grill's manual.  今月、夏にぴったりの和菓子「水饅頭」を牛乳で作ってみましょう。豆乳でもおいしくできます。(Kongetsu ha, natsu ni pittari no wagashi [mizu manjuu] o gyuunyuu de tsukutte mi mashou. Tounyuu demo oishiku dekimasu.) This month, we're preparing a popular summertime treat (Mizu Manjuu), so let's use milk for the main part. But, soy milk is just as delicious.
