Pajamas & Recipes
Thursday, June 25th, 2009 | 34 Comments 
I ended up feeling quite sick this morning so I went ahead and stayed home. I was resting on & off again all day and feel 70% better now. I dunno, maybe it was just stress & exhaustion? Or maybe I’m fighting off some cold. I’ve had an on & off again sore throat for days. I don’t know. I was just downstairs this morning trying to shack it off so I could get ready for work. I was lying there and thinking, “OK, 30 minutes to get ready, I can make it.” Then 20, then 10, then I realized I wasn’t gonna make it, I felt too awful, haahaa.
While in a semi-dream state I was watching the Bonnie Hunt show and they had some woman there with the book, Hungry Girl. They shared 3 recipes which can be found here. I’m trying them out! I got really excited because the pasta recipe calls for these tofu noodles Mike and I have already been using!! Yea, tofu shirataki noodles!! Extreme low in calories & carbs! They taste great too.
We bought the original yam shirataki noodle too but haven’t tried them yet.
So I’ve been in pajamas most of the day. I didn’t start feeling better until around 4:00 when I forced myself to change into REAL clothes. I think I needed to just push through the fatigue and “walk it off” in a way. So no matter how I feel tomorrow I’m going into work 
I bought some new PJs actually. I was at K-Mart of all random places (I go there like twice a year for seasonal stuff) and they had a really great sale on these cute Joe Boxer pajamas. I love Joe Boxer. They were really popular when I was in High School & I used to buy their underwear because they had that sort of boyish style for girls. These are really soft too~
I got PJ top (below) because it really reminded me of something Rinka would wear,
hahahah
I took a really intense sweat bath last night (maybe that didn’t help much with how I felt today! LOL!) using 炎赤の湯 sweat bath. The scent is FANTASTIC and it makes the water glitter & gleam!
As for the cell phone blog, I’ve actually already been doing it for about a week. But given the responses about it I think I’ll still keep it pretty private, maybe. I’m not ready to slap a link up in my blog’s sidebar just yet. Don’t worry, sushi-cat isn’t going ANYWHERE. If you want the link to my Ameblo then feel free to email me at jenny@sushi-cat.net for it. If not, that’s OK too~~

Jenny’s Dashi Soup
Thursday, June 4th, 2009 | 50 Comments
A lot of people asked for the recipe to the quick, low calorie soup I made on Sunday. So here’s a recipe! This is an extremely simple soup you can customize to fit your own taste. The major components are dashi and boiled cabbage. 
I used dried shiitake dashi powder. However, dashi is simple to make. Here are a few recipes for shiitake (or mushroom) dashi. I prefer shiitake dashi, but you can use kombu dashi as well. This web site sells some instant dashi packets. I also used somen noodles but you could substitute with soba or udon noodles if you like.
Also you could boil the cabbage with the dumplings if you don’t have boiled cabbage ready. I tend to boil whole heads of cabbage at a time so I just add it in at the end.
Let’s get started!
