Life in Yokohama

We made cream puff and eclair. For filling, we use custard cream (with brandy, vanilla beans) and dairy cream. My husband was very glad to them. I do not mean to buy cream puff at convenience store any more as factory made cream puff contains a lot of additives.

I attended Vegan meetup held at Pink Cow at Shibuya on April 17. Although it was rainy, chilly day, aprox. 40 peple gathered at the venue. I am not vegan but since I suffer from morning attack (I cough a lot everytime I woke up), I suspect that eating meat and sweet might not good for nose allegy. I attended another meetup called N.I.T (Networking in Tokyo for business and pleasure) on April 19. Some of us went to karaoke and had a good time.

I participated in cooking class at Tokyo gas. We coocked Beef rice with demiglace sauce Eggplant marinette Pudding with strawberry sauce We used red wine for cooking beef rice. As we did not take time in making sauce, rice tasted sour. Pudding with strawberry sauce was good. It was easy to cook.

I went to the Kodomo sizen koen (Natural park for children) to see cherry blossoms and animals. At mini zoo, you could see cow, pony, pig, rabbit etc. On Saturdays, you could touch small animals. I was very disappointed to see that mini zoo had been closed. All the animals had been moved to Kanazawa zoo on Jan 28 2008.
