Plums

Several weeks ago, I bought fresh plums from the grocery.  I personally do not know how to eat them.  I tried them before but I have forgotten.  Do you eat them with the skin?  How do you know if it is ripe enough?

Instead of dwelling on that, here I am searching for recipes.  I think I will try this out tomorrow.

Plum Quick Bread recipe snagged from Allrecipes.com.  

3 eggs
2 (6 ounce) jars plums or plum with apple baby food
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, baby food, oil and buttermilk.  Combine the dry ingredients; add to the egg mixture and mix till moistened.  Transfer to 2 greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 60 to 65 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

However, I don't plan on using baby food.  I just might mash some apples with the plums.  I can't wait for the result.  I am hoping for another best-seller from Cathy's Kitchen.

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products.  I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory.  I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this.  It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction.  It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day.  Available at Sephora stores. 2.  Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co -  If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product.  It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application.  The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube.  More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications.  Also available at Sephora stores.  ...

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.
