Found Type: Fenway Park

Posted on by Hijiri

After spending all your time with natural born Red Sox fan, you will become one yourself… like me! I have been wanted to go to Fenway park, but never had a chance to… and last week, I finally got to go there for the first time! I think it became one of my favorite ball parks, it was great fun!

When you get out of the train, you already start seeing lots of manicule — ☞ the hand arrow symbol — I saw so many of them throughout the park, it was awesome! (I do use them for my website and business cards)

Renegade Craft Fair 09

Posted on by Hijiri

This weekend was a Renegade Craft Fair weekend here in Brooklyn and I of course stopped by (I went there on Saturday) and checked out so many cool stuff, shopped (the most fun part!), met some people, hang out with my girl friends… it was so fun! This year, it was on the green area at the McCarren Park, (it was at the McCarren park pool last year) sunny all day, 80 degrees, it was hot and nice.

I could only take some pictures, I wish I could have taken all the products that caught my eye, but there were just way too many…

Albertine Press booth:

I couldn’t actually find some of the shops I was looking forward to seeing… there were so many people, so many booths, I somehow managed to miss those shops, which was kind of a bummer, but overall, I got lots of inspirations and respects, I can’t wait for the next year one already!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Posted on by Hijiri

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend… I know it’s almost over now, but Happy Memorial day! :) It is summer time here already, it has been super nice and warm, I went to the Prospect park everyday besides doing house work and my work, I love that we live so close to the great park.

Speaking of Summer… Randy got me an ice cream maker from Cuisinart and so I made my first ice cream this weekend! It was fun and yummy! I thought for the Memorial Day post, I should share my ice cream making-of :) Enjoy!

First one is (sugar-free) strawberry ice cream. I modified the receipe to make it healthier…

Using fresh strawberries and lemon.

strawberryicecream1

Slice up the strawberries and squeeze the lemon. (Note: I should have sliced them smaller because ice cream maker does not make them smaller)

strawberryicecream2

Add 1/3 cup of Splenda (usually a regular sugar, but that’s gonna make me feel so bad so I used sugar-free here) and mix them together well.

strawberryicecream3

strawberryicecream4

Let it sit for 2 hours….

In a mixing bowl, mix 2 cups of soy milk (love soy milk!), 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 2/3 cup of Splenda and juice from the strawberries. (Note: I modified original recipe of 2 cups of cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 2/3 cup of sugar here… to make it healthy)

strawberryicecream5

Light pink… pretty color :)

strawberryicecream6

and here it is, the ice cream maker!

strawberryicecream7

Turn the maker on and put the mixed milk, let it go for 25-30 min….

strawberryicecream8

getting harder…

strawberryicecream9

Put the strawberries 5 minutes before the ice cream is done…

strawberryicecream10

and yaaaay, my first ice cream ever!!

strawberryicecream11

(see, the strawberries are a bit too chunky…)

It was so good. Soy milk makes this more like sorbet, but it’s perfect for summer and low carolie so I don’t have to feel really bad every time… :)

I also made frozen yogurt. This is really easy and so good, I will be making this all the time, I’m sure…

frozeny1

In a mixing bowl, mix 2 cups of yogurt, 1/4 cup of Splenda, 1/2 cup of soy milk (or regular milk). *you can add chocolate or berries or anything you’d like to make a special frozen yogurt.

and have the maker do its job…..

frozeny3

and after 25-30 minutes later… enjoy frozen yogurt!
