A cake
If I had noticed soon that it was an valuable blog's topic, I would have taken a picture before cutting this cake. My thought was only for cutting and eating as soon as possible, and I could not wait to carry the cake into my mouth. This might be a proof of my much appetite. It was not just a special day like someone's birthday or wedding anniversary. I found this cake sold at a supermarket by chance, and the price was surprising 500yen. As my gumption, a whole mass of cake like this ( I don't know how is the formal expression ) is priced at more than one thousand yen. I bought that without any hesitation or concern about the calorific value. It is a revolutionary event for me to eat this big mass only by myself. When I lived at my parents' home, there were some men or women who has a sweet tooth, so I could not have that all to myself. This might be an anniversary for my first experience in a sense.
Comment spam
Comment spam is raging in this Ameba site. In my blog recently, a few annoying spams stick to my journals everyday, so I want readers to avoid clicking spam's link target not to leap into inappropriate sites. There are many comments from machines which never read my journal. I don't know how such acts reach to some economical profits, but it is nothing but an annoyance. The managers of Ameba seems to be constructing the anti-spam system, so I am looking forward to the release. Now, it is just a guard from some specific IP address as the Ameba's anti-spam system, so it is not complete security system because such nasty dealers can easily change IP address by re-inquiring to DHCP server. To improve the quality of blog site, safer system is needed to Ameba.

A beautiful place
I went to a beautiful place called Goshikinuma with my friends. Goshikinuma means a pond of five colors, located on Fukushima prefecture. On the way to there, a friend and the other used a motorcycle and a car respectively. The friend who rode motorcycle was more familiar about the way than any other members, so we decided to let him forego for this trip. It was the beginning of nightmarish occurrence. The rider was a speed freak. He run the road about 100km/h, and the driver had to follow the rider. The behavior ignited the driver's instinct, and a violent battle had started before I know. I only feared and prayed our safeness.
This is a Chinese noodle which we ate for lunch. It was very good. The shop seems to be so famous that it was introduced on some TV programs.
After long fearful driving and riding, we got to the beautiful place Goshikinuma. What I was surprised about the place first of all was the clearness of the water. We could see the ground easily through the water, and the far place from the shore looked green. It was so mysterious but very beautiful. We enjoyed walking around this pond with chatting or taking pictures. It was so enjoyable time for us.
Half and half
I have self-conscious about my cooking skill growing gradually. I cooked a dish of half-and-half pasta. I don't know whether this style of pasta should be called half-and-half, but it is usual Japanese term for suggesting pizza of which the half area is different from the another. Two kinds of pizza is served as one sheet of pizza. I realized that with a dish of pasta. See the picture. The left side is dry curry pasta. I used dry curry which I had cooked beforehand, so the process of this recipe was pretty simple. It was just mixing up both pasta and dry curry. The right side is asparagus and basil pasta. I thought it had a little weak flavor, so I fried some Vienna sausages with this pasta. Both of them was quite delicious. I should add more salt on the green pasta.
