I'm an Otaku! Ack!

Okay, so I dunno if I mentioned it on this blog (I have 5 blogs -______-. Let's just say there's a lot of free time on mis manos...), but I'm kinda, sorta obsessed with anything Japanese; sushi, manga, anime, onigiri, you name it I know it. I'm not even Asian! Currently I'm obsessed with onigiri, or rice balls (Urban Dictionary, anyone?), and Koko Ni Iru You! *Yes, that's a manga ^_^* Rice balls are so good I can't stand it. You can put basically anything in it (even the "no red-meaters", vegetarians and vegans can enjoy this cultural delight!), and luckily you don't need a rice-maker to make "perfect" rice; or else I'd be out $50+... All you need is some rice, some "fillings", and plastic wrap; and possibly a fridge if you just made the little grains from Heaven.

Make's one om-nomerful serving

You Need:
1 cup cooled short grain rice, divided
4 T. fillings (tuna w/ mayo, some cooked chicken, salmon, rice or beans...)
Some plastic wrap

1) Pull out a 1x1 (in ft.)-ish sheet of plastic wrap and put 1/2 of the rice on it.
2) Smooth it around a bit with a spoon and put your filling of choice in it.
3) Close up the plastic wrap with the corners and shape the rice in the plastic so the filling's in the inside and the rice covers it all. Squish all the air out.
4) Let it chill in the fridge for a little bit, or enjoy on the spot!

:) Tell me how it is,

Top 5 Foods (And drinks) of January

Hey peeps, I have a snow day, or should I say, ICE day. There's barely an inch of snow that fell (there's still snow from all the other times it snowed), and a bleep-load of ice. So yay! No school :). So now I present to you my Top 5 Favorite foods + drinks of January. I'll try to do one every month or something like that. Tell me what you think...

1) Mint Chocolate Silk

It's like, THE STUFF to end all STUFF!! I seriously don't know how I lived every other winter of my life not knowing this stuff existed. Warm it up in the microwave for an om-nom-licious treat ;)

2) Apple Cinnamon Rice-Cakes
I love love LOVE rice cakes! These ones taste really goo with bananas and peanut (or almond, if you like a twist) butter. Great breakfast!
Movie nights favorite; popcorn. But I hate the salty, movie-style popcorn. This stuff is sweet, and you can pig out on it and not have to care about anything else. :)

4) Gala Apples


An apple a day keeps the doctor away! I've heard that way too many times... But anyways I love apples and these apples you can eat straight and they're really sweet.

5) Kix


As you can see, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. And Kix is my favorite cereal. It's so sweet, yet not so sweet. This sounds like a really gross combination that's surprisingly really good: hot cocoa and Kix. Legit, sometimes I just pour the Kix into my hot cocoa in the morning and eat it from there. Try it. Now. It's really good!!

So now you've seen everything I really love oh so much :) What kind of stuff do you like? I'd love to know!

Stay warm!
