My first sewing machine

2nd big thing I got for myself this year. Finally I managed to test it out after 2 weeks laying in the room, and yay! It is working fine. I have to find myself some time to go out and buy material and sew something before end of 2009.

Yam rice

Mom gave me yam last weekend and I made yam rice out of it. I tried not to have direct contact with the inner side of yam at all because I don't want to itch all night long. WL helped me to chop the yam into pieces and I cut them into smaller cubes without touching them with my hand. I don't want the rice to be dark black colour so I added only drop of dark soy sauce. I love today's dinner though it was my first try making yam rice.

Steamboat for 3

My sister is here over the weekend. It gave us excuse to have a small steamboat treat.
