This is a blog where I'm going to write about anime, manga, japan, games, or other totally random things I care about or think is funny enough to share
Today I found out that I should continue with an easy fish-dish. I had some salmon in my freezer and figured out that I wanted to use it today. I searched "cooking-with-dog" for any salmon-dishes and this is what I ended up with:
I had to change a lot on this recipe because of the shrooms and the fact that I didn't have mush vegetables my refrigerator. Soo what I used instead was:
All the vegetables was fried in a wokpan for a few minutes, just to get them heated up. I like my vegetables a little crunchy, specially the carrots, but the heating time is all up to what you like.
I also used 250 g raw salmon which I heated on 225*C for about 40 minutes
The sauce:
1 lemon
The same amount soysauce as the lemonjuice
I ended up adding just a pinch with wasabi-sauce and a little bit of sesame oil for great taste.
I used about half of the sauce on the vegitables while they got fried and the other half on top of the meal when put together.
Put the vegetables in a round bowl, add the fish on top and sprinkle on some white sesame seeds.
One of my favorite games at the moment must be: Tera. It's like all the other MMRPG games out there, but something facinated me more with this than for example Word of Warcraft (no hate please, that is just not something for me :))
Oh well, back to Tera. The gamedesign is more on the cute side than the rough side. By that I mean errhhh the moves and the characters can have everything from wings to cute small animal ears as accessories. One example is the race: Elin and Popori:
Elin
Popori
Picture of an Elin and a Popori :)
I guess I can add up the rest of the races when I'm at it:
Aman (Male)
Aman (Female)
Baraka
The next race is the race I have as my main: It's called Castanic:
*ADD PICTURE*
High Elf (Female)
Human (Female)
As probably notices, most ot the female outfits are a little...errhh revealing. Nothing new or special since this is an asianmade game. Lots of fan-service :)
Anyway, now that we have taken a look on the races, I think it's time to look at the different classes;
Close combat: Berserker, Slayer, Warrior and Lancer
Range: Archer, Sorcerer
Healers:
Gameplay:
It's like all MMRPG games, you're going to do a lot of quests; zone and story quests. It's a lot of repeatable tasks but you won't get that bored by it. Like you have normal "killing" quests, where you need to kill of like 10 of a kind. These one are quite simple and only require time.
The quests that are really requiring some skills are the bam-quests, where you have to kill of a bigger and more difficult enemy. It's recommended that you do this one as a party, since it takes up much time to solo it.
Some classes are good solo characters like Lancer (supertanky and can hold up for a long time), I also think that it's not that hard for a slayer, berserker or an warrior to solo it.
I myself have tried to solo with mystic and an archer. Mystic did work if you're up for like 10-15 minutes, which means if you do one mistake, you have to start all over.. The easiest mistake to be done is to drag another bam after you... then you're pretty much fucked.
I have also tried soloing with an archer, but I noticed that it's too difficult to move away from the attacks, because of short jumpback skill.
Different kinds of BAMs:
Bamfight with lancer
Zone quests are marked with yellow ex marks "!" and story quests are maked in red
What I really like about Tera is the way they have used the map to make things a lot easier for the player. Instead of wondering "oh where the hell is that kind of BAM or enemy?" you can just click on the quest tab and the objects and your objects will show as a orange circle on your map.
There is so much more to write about this game but I'll update this later if I feel like it :)
I am going to do a little theme-posts event, where I'll make japanese food by watching my very favorite cooking show; "cooking with dog". I'll do this because I simply love asian food and because it's so much fun to make a little different food that what's "normal" in my country. Since I'm foreign, and lots of the ingredients are difficult to get, i'll add some changes throughout the recipe. Maybe some will say that it's not the same without the right ingredients but what can I do?
So what i'll do if mark each post with "Food challenge day #", but of course I don't have time to blog every day so this will only work as a reminder on how many recipes I have gone through. I will add the original video on every post and add my own picture at the end, where I'll list of the ingredients. Hope you all will like it
So here it goes:
This is a very easy recipe for japanese omelette, and it's so much fun to make it. I used a big pan circle-formed pan to make this and it worked out pretty well, but the shape isn't that pretty compared to a square-formed pan.
First I'll just add the ingredients listed in the youtube-video: Ingredients for Tamagoyaki (serves 2) 3 Eggs 3 tbsp Dashi Stock (3 tbsp water+a pinch of dashi stock powder) 1⅓ tbsp Sugar 1 tsp Soy Sauce 2 pinches of Salt 20g Mitsuba Parsley Leaves (0.7 oz) or substitute: spring onion, coriander, mentaiko (marinated roe of pollock) or aonori seaweed Daikon Radish, Grated 1 Shiso Leaf A splash of Soy Sauce Olive Oil or your favorite vegetable oil Tamagoyaki Pan (15x16.5cm/6x6.5 in)
Since my pan was a little bigger than the chefs pan I used 4 eggs instead of 3. The Dashi-stock is something that's quite hard to find here, so i just removed it and placed it with some sesame-oil (Because I really like the taste). I use a soy sause with less salt in too, because it can quickly get too salty.
The filling ended up being dried chives, but as she mentioned you can use whatever greenstuff you want. In another video she used spinach.
I didn't really care for the garnish so I just cut out the rest.
This is how my dish looked when it was done:
As you can see, since I used a circle-pan the front piece didn't look so good.
Well that's the first one. Hopefully I won't forget to add more dishes :)
Have you ever struggled with doing your job or homework because you wish to listen to something not too distracting, but find yourself starting up spotify?
Well I have. A lot of times. Yeah spotify got lots of great songs but when you need to concentrate, what you really need, is:
1. First, a song without lyrics. The second you find yourself singing along with the vocalist, you have already failed. This is one of the most annoying thing if you need to concentrate. By all means, this is MY personal opinion. Some people can still work with singing in the background.
Here you get some songs by our big reggae star, Bob Marley allthough with vocals though:. This is a video on 2.41 hours:
Unfortunately I couldn't find it on the easy-add video function on blogger, so I will give you the direct link to youtube instead: -->YOUTUBE<--
2. Second, I think classic music is the very best for working. You might think I'm very wrong here but I have actually felt more concentrated while listening to soft pan-flute music, like this one
I actually found this one too, which was quite good, where you'll have a chilled beat in the background:
3. Third is the type of genre, even if the song is instrumental it could still be giving you problem with working, but as I mentioned earlier, this is so different from person to person. I'm adding a video from Daft Punk, instrumental version of the song "Lose yourself to Dance" hopefully you'll enjoy it.
Here is another one, with piano as the main instrument; playing good old love songs, I turned down the volume a bit here, or else some parts will get to loud to work with:
If you are more of the jazz-type it's easy to find something good to work with. I found one that last 6 hours, so no I haven't heard through it all, since I'm not the biggest jazz fan :P but it has gotten 1.5 mill hits in under a year so I guess it's good stuff :)
Some instrumental R&B music, not to much superdrops or anything, just chill beats;
Next one is also in the R&B genre, but instead of piano as the main instrument we got a guitar instead: Worth listening to:
For those who prefer a little bit of instrumental slow rock, Sinima Beats got some very good ones:
More slow guitar with some rap-inspirited beats:
If you ignore the 10 sec start-up subscribe part this is a melody consisting of a beautiful piano + some extra beats;
That's all for now, I should really get going with my own working, instead of giving you all these examples of studying music. Maybe I'll make a part 2 to this with more to pick from :)
I think the big training-boom started only a couple of years ago. Suddenly everyone focused on training hard. Many fitness-bloggers got popular fast with their training-tips and healthy "fitness-food". I have also thrown myself into this madness but the question that I have asked so many already is; is it hot or horrible to see woman with muscles that isn't just skinny,but awfully strong too?
My personal opinion here is; Daaamn! I wish more girls would train hard to get a healthy body instead of a thin and unhealthy body that is build only on special "thin-genes".
In Norway we got many "fitness-girls" and I would like to give them a special place here in my blog, in case anyone wanted to read more about their hardworking days:
First up: Linn Cesilie Tovås, which participate in bikinifitness Norway and won this competition in 2013
She focus much on her daily training of course, but she also have good tips on how to eat good stuff without being to fanatic. I guess she's the only one at the moment that will get a little introduction, since I'm to lazy to write more :P -->BLOG<--
Next I will add some random inspirational fitness-girls:
Dana Linn Bailey, one of the more extreme woman out there
It's hard to find good picture where the girl isn't dressed up in 10 layers of makeup while taking a photoshot. I try as best as I can to find more natural training girl that isn't in just for the fame.
I'll think I'll end this post with a fun little movie. The flipside workout. On this clip the roles are completely changed. All the steriotypes from the gym where the guys are like "YEAHH training, lots of protein!", they suddenly end up in the yoga room. Enough of that, just watch it;
Oh and if any girls feel like wanting to achieve this, but need a little more motivation, you got to check out this video below, because it will get you pumped up and and your willpower will definitely shoot high. Damn.
Yesterday it was Chinese new year! And this time we move into the year of The Horse:
Another year have passed and a new year is approaching in high speed. Since I'm half Chinese and half Norwegian it's quite clear that I wanted to at least give it a thought. I live in another city than my parents so I couldn't really celebrate it with some others, but I managed to search the web and find some fine recipes for the delicious Wonton soup!
The site I used was this one if someone is interested: --->WONTON_SOUP<--.
I did change a little bit of the recipe though, because of what I had tasted before and a little because I wanted to experiment :P
For the soup, instead of adding chicken broth I used two slice chops, because then the soup will get some more flavor + the meat is really good. If you choose this way of making them, remember to let the meat lay in half boiling (under half of max temperature) for about 3-4 hours, untill the meat seperate from the bone .
Cops
Beside adding chops, I added some mushrooms. So as you can see, this takes time and must be prioritized first. While the meat cook you can continue preparing the meat mix. The recipe here is really good but I noticed that it didn't get so flavorish as I wanted it. I ended up using more of the soy-sauce and the vinegar. A little thing I remembered from home was to put in around 1-2 tsp with dry cherry wine. It tastes so much better, after my opinion. I used a brand called Alegria, which is actually a 37,5%, but since we're using it in food the alcohol disappears into the water.
This is how the cherry looks like.
It's a international brand so I guess it's easy to get :)
Remember to use enough salt too, my wontons was as I mentioned earlier not filled with so much taste as I wanted, but you guys just have to test it out a little bit. If you are unsure put some of the meat mix into another bowl and add the stuff you want to try.
When everything is ready you'll get a nice boiler filled with good stuff.
I personally ate around 10 wontons before I felt full, but then again, I don't eat that much nowadays, so I will guess a normal adult will eat something between 8-15, depending on how much extra stuff you'll add (shrooms, cabbage, extra meat)
This is my own picture of how it looked like in the end.
I was going to write about this for a long time now but I haven't got enough time for it. But here it goes:
Deadman Wonderland isn't a anime for people that get easily emotional attached to characters, because this is an anime where people get hurt or even die (no spoilers, I promise :P) The first episode is where you'll get to meet the main person Ganta Igarashi, who really is a little bit of a brat. You'll see his personality real quick.
It all happends at school, where a strange man floating outside of the window suddenly blows the whole classroom to pieces. Everywhere it's blood and it looks like Ganta is the only one alive.
Ah what can I say without spoiling to much, he gets arrested and sent to prison. But it's no ordinary prison.
This prison was made for amusement, where the inmates are competing and trying their best to not get killed.
Throughout the anime we will meet a very special girl, I will not reveal too much about her but
you can see a picture:
A white girl dressed in a white bodysuit with red circles
Just to give you a sneak peak this is my Deadman Wonderland background for my mobile :3 Love it ^^
This is of my favorie person; hope it will get you to watch it!
