Happy Chinese New Year

Dragon year for Purin and Sirotan!

On happiness

I'm becoming increasing convinced that happiness is a choice. It's as simple as choosing what you want for dinner. If you don't like your dinner, change it or make another. Tragically, some feel that they cannot make their dinner choices. I guess making your own choices forces you to be fully responsible for the consequences. And people don't want that kind of responsibility. And the choices one makes may reflect the dark and probably sinister aspects of self that many refuse to confront.

People like to keep believing that they are angels when they really are not.

Yellow Retriever Cakes

Okay.. I just baked a Japanese style green tea cake. It's a 10 day belated birthday cake for OF. OF says it is like Black Hound cakes so I'm naming it Yellow Retriever Cakes after my dear Purin.

Here is Purin with a real Black Hound cake.

And other pictures of the green tea cake. Looks pro eh? I was too cheap to buy powdered green tea / matcha... So I chopped up green tea leaves instead. :-|

Hm...

Why do I find him cute? He is like 50... but he sure doesn't look 50...

Tortoise

My tortoise is still alive and well. Yar yar, I know it's a turtle, but I like to call it tortoise. He is 15 this year. I had him since Primary 5. Gosh I'm old.
