Whoa, whoa, whoa!! 皆さま！皆さま！久しぶりね？ So it’s been two months since I’ve updated this site…I’ve been slacking in my other sites as well :[

Anyway, a new template was needed, thus I changed it. 可愛いね（・ω・）？ However, I need to go back and add bookmarking tools since the default template doesn’t have that. Rather…Hmmm…Maybe I’ll just create my own damn theme! I keep saying this, but I’ve yet to do it.

Okay, a priority list is needed:

Masa Karasu

• Finish linking lyrics
• Finish Spain Interview
• Get the German version back in gear
• Convert Spanish version to new template

Online Portfolio

I want to start an independent website development company. Nothing big, just clients here and there, but clients who are willing to pay :P Thus, I need to get my web-design butt in gear and start producing some stuff! This will be the beginning of that project…

• Design template
• Check with webdev friends and see if they’re interested in working together

Cherry Blossom Productions

My booking and promo company was finally created toward the end of last year and we have a website: www.CherryBlossomSA.com. There are a few things that needed to be added content-wise. Also, zenverse created a nice template so I went with that one until I find time to redesign it. However, that is not a priority at the moment.

I guess this really isn’t a priority list, just a to-do list…*sigh* When tech week at the playhouse is done, then I’ll get started on the larger project on this list. Now I’m in a talking mood…I might update my abandoned LJ.

じゃね。

I decided to be adventurous and try out one of Weight Watcher’s recipes. Now, honestly, I am NOT a good cook. I can microwave Chef Boyardee, but that’s about it. Okay, so this recipe caught my attention because of two words in it: corn and bread.

Now let’s begin!

To create this shape, I used a bunt cake baking sheet.

What You Need To Know

WW Points: 2 per serving
Servings: 12
Prep Time: (recipe says 10 mins, but I didn’t time it)
Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked cornmeal, yellow
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp table salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 14 3/4 ox cream-style corn, canned
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tsp corn oil

Note: Baking powder and baking soda are NOT the same thing and you need BOTH for the recipe. I learned this the hard way!

Instructions

1. Prehead oven to 400°F. Coat cake sheet with cooking spray or available vegetable oil.
2. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix well with a fork, then make a well in the center; set aside.
3. Combine creamed corn, buttermilk, egg whites, and oil in a medium bowl; mix until blended. Fold mixture into dry ingredients; mix until blended. Pour batter into prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
4. Bake until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool in pan and then pop each one out using a fork. Be careful, you don’t want to break the little bunts.

Oh, and FYI, using a 12 bunt cake baking sheet, there will be a bit of…puffiness on the top. And in the end, your creation can either be a muffin or a bunt cake, depends on which side you have it on! :D

Okay, so I found a reason to create another website: It’s required for my Japanese class! I have no idea what exactly we’ll be posting, but any professor who wants her students to make a website deserves an A+ in my book!

In case any of you are interested, please head over to 日本語―nihongo―. It amazes me that I’m able to read a decent amount of Japanese, yet my grammar and vocab levels are close to non-existent. I plan to rectify this matter, which is why I’m SO thankful that Professor Yu has allowed me to take her class.

There’s not much to say about MK at the moment. I have a list of what I need to do, but I’ll get to it when I’m able.

I’m not sure if many of you know, but I work with a group of peeps who bring Japanese bands to San Antonio, Texas. Well, we finally figured out a company name! So soon there will be a new website to add to my glorious collection! However, I’m not sure if I’ll be the one to actually do the website, since one of my partners, Eric, seems to want to do it. Though, I will definitely host it. More info on that once it’s established.
