i know the two things don't belong to one another, but...
it's friday and end of the month.
i am one month in my new job and i am loving it to the fullest. the flexibility of working from home, the joy of working in a global company with regional role. the privilege of being the first one in the department that is expanding. exciting yet challenging in the same time. i spoke more dutch these days and the words just came out naturally and at time i finished the entire conversation without the urge to switch to english. one month down the road but i only got my work cellphone today. if there's anything to complain the cellphone is probably the only one problem i had so far. but i also like those days without a cellphone, a bit inconvenience but it didn't border me much. i break the habit of wanting to connect to social network anytime, anywhere. once i had two iphones (japan and lowland) and now i only have a android phone, still learning the new interface, android is not as intuitive as iphone, but that's what i have to cope with for the time being. and it's okay. it's already a blessing to have a taste and joy of iphones for free for the last six months. so i count my blessing, and now i am happy with my android phone.
this week, i finished two major activities and i bake a japanese cream cheese cake (cotton cake) to celebrate the weekend. although a cheese cake, the texture is really light and airily. it's definitely not the typical american rich cheese cake. first time baking this but a bite to it, we both like it so much...
meanwhile he saw a red snapper in the fridge. sometime we are blessed with food turn show up of the blue in our fridge or on our kitchen, but that a different story.
the fish is fresh and so he decided to make this smoked fish inspired by a renowned japanese chef (wakiya) who is specializing in chinese cuisine with a japanese twist.
the recipe calls for some smoke agent, the fish is soaked in some fresh juice for a long time being it's steamed. and then induced by the smoke agent.
as a result a super fresh and delicate fish, a perfect balance of earthy smokiness and tangerine freshness.
anyway, this is just some random thoughts on a chilly summer friday evening. i feel like going to the nature but the weather doesn't permit so far.
have a nice weekend.
