Cooking Japanese: Onigiri ♥

Hi there (^.^)v

it's a cooking post again this time ♥

Some time ago I tried to make onigiri (riceballs) for the frist time.

I think they turned out quite good,

so let me show you how to make them:

 This is what you need:

- rice (obviously)

- nori (dried sea weed sheets)

- something to fill them (I used furikake for flavour)

and optional: an onigiri mold

First, you need to cook the rice.

When it is done, the rice need to cool down to become more sticky.

Because I used furikake to give flavour to the rice,

I devided it into two and sprinkled it with furikake.

I used two different flavours:

the left is with various vegetables

and the right on with perilla (a kind of herb)

Then you are ready to shape the rice into onigiri ^.^

Usually they have a triangle form

like the onigiri mold I used

I wraped them into wrapping film to store them in fridge over night.

You can eat them right after shaping them, but I wanted

to take them with me next day for Fashion Walk in Hamburg.

So on the next day, I wrapped them into nori sheets.

(it's better to do this briefly before eating them,

because the nori soaks a lot water and becomes quite chewy then)

They people who tried them, said the were good ^-^

But I still need to improve a lot.

Next time I will try to fill them x3

Feel free to try to make them yourself ^-^

Onigiri are really delicious *-*

One of my favourite japanese food ♥

Thank you for reading and see you next time (^.^)v

☆ Harajuku Fashion Walk ☆ Hamburg ☆ ＼(^ω^＼)

Hey guys (^-^)v

I hope you are all fine ^.^

Last weekend was really amazing, because I attended the first

Harajuku Fashion Walk in Hamburg ♥ 

The event was organized by the cute Feli-chan. 
We already had some similar events in Germany, like in Düsseldorf
or Leipzig, but this was the first in the north of the country ^.^
(And the closest from my hometown, but nevertheless we 
had to travel three hours by train..)

I choose to wear a 'pastel goth' outfit for the first time ^-^

sorry, to lazy to cover my messy room this time x3

I got myself a new wig for this outfit and will probably 
do a review in one of the next posts ^-^
Tell me if you're interesseted ♥

My mom and my friend Eiri joined me again and we took 
the train at nine in the morning to be in Hamburg in time.
When we arrived at the station I luckily still had enough time
to "do" my nails (=to clip on my preglued nails x'D)

 At 1 p.m. we all met at the station and then walked our way through the city.
 But before we took the first group photo of the day ♥

We walked down a well-known shopping street in Hamburg
and also visited some close by stores (like colours and claire's)
Then we took the train to visit the newly opened 'J-Store' ♥
And took another group photo (^-^)v

picture taken from the J-Store facebook-page

The store is really great ^-^
They had such a cool pair of tights, but sadly they
were to expensive for me at the moment...

And here are some more random pictures of the day x3
The first is a photo of my 'hair' I took in the train.

I like the wig, it feels comfortable while wearing ^-^
Next is a pic of Eiri and me:

And the perspective from outside x'D

Yeah, with my cool gameboy-phone-cover x3
And a picture I took at the metro station
while waiting for the train to J-Store to arrive ^.^

Of course I also took some photos with nice and lovely people ♥
with Eiri again:

cool outfit of his isn't it?

with Ruha and Meto-Teddy:

and with Feli ♥
she also tried one of my selfmade onigiri *happy*

Eiri when I told him 'look like you're having fun' x'D

And Feli again how we saw her most of the day x3
(but I somehow really like this picture *-*)
 

The day was a lot of fun ^.^
Thanks to everyone who has been there ♥
And this time there even is a video (made by Feli)

I hope there will be more events like this in Hamburg ♥
It was a really great day ^.^

Thank you for reading (^.^)v

Weekend stuff and new outfits (^-^)b

Hey guys (^.^)v

I'm happy to see you back ♥

In this entry I want to show you some photos of my last weekends.

They really were much fun for me ^.^

On the last weekend in May my friend Haru visited us ♥

She grew up in the same city I live,

but a few years ago she moved away to live near Düsseldorf.

But this time she visited us and decided to spent her birthday with us ^.^

 So we met Nekoko and some other friends and went to the cinema

to watch Maleficent:

The movie tells the story of the dark fairy from the fairytale

Dornröschen (the sleeping beauty).

I don't want to tell that much about the movie here,

maybe some of you still want to watch it ^.^

But it is a really amazing movie with another ending than the

original fairytale.

Neko, Haru and me

Popcorn in the dark x3

Later that weekend we also visited our local BoboQ store together ♥

The next day my mom and I went to ride a pedal boat in our town.
We celebrated her belated birthday since I couldn't be with her that day
and our pedal boat looked like a ... Flamingo!

It was really fun to ride a flamingo boat ^.^
The day after this my dad and I visited our local zoo:

It was really fun and not only I could pet deers and pot-bellied pigs,
but also a kangaroo ^.^ (of which I sadly don't have a photo q.q)

The next weekend my boyfriend and I visited his father for his birthday.
Actually we wanted to make a barbeque in the garden, but just after we arrived
 it started to rain havily and we decided to do the barbeque on the balcony x3
A good decision, because later there was a thunderstorm with hail, too o.o
This was my outfit for the day:

In the living room of my boyfriend's father's house also was a big plush dog ^.^
As I love plushies and dogs, I had to take a photo with it ♥

And finally, last friday I visited the designer outlet in Wolfsburg.
Actually I never found anything interessting there, but now
I heard that a claire's shop has opened there *-*
And you get 30% off on everything x3
and here is what I purchased:

Love the cow purse so much ♥_♥
Maybe you know that cows (along bats) are my favourite animal
and I've seen the purse often in our local claire's store and always
considered buying it, but then I always thought 'well, it's just for coins
so it's of little use for you...' But I'm happy I finally bought it *-*

And speaking of cows...
there also was a closed kindergarden in the designer outlet
with animal stickers outside:

and this was my outfit for designer outlet:

All in all I had really fun weekends lately ^.^
That's all for now ^.^
Thank you for reading and hope to see you again ♥
