You be warned, this entry has a lot of FOOD pictures right at the end of the post :P
Here’s a non related close up shot of Meow taken on 20th when he was being nosy about something I was doing at the time which I cannot remember now ^^;
This week managed to finish a record speed little commission for Otaku Dan! :D Very happy to be chosen to refresh the mascot/logo, the mascot is so cute, like a mochi with ears, tail and glasses ^O^ ^^; want to eat it lol!
Click on image below to see the page introducing the art ^^/
I draw full time for cartoondollemporium.com but occassionally I do take a freelance commission or 2, have to squeeze it into free time sometimes if the commission has more details ^^; Each commission work is different, so charge and time to complete differ per client ^^; Example if the mascot is a full size girl with detailed clothing etc, it’ll cost more than drawing a mochi mascot with a face and accessory :) Currently I have a couple things in queue ^^; (Sorry for the wait!)
It had been a busy weekend! o_o;/
Finally have a little time to resize some photos and do little captions for the new segment in this blog :)
Most of this set of photos was taken last week, during the one day when I go help at my friend’s shop in the mall.
It happened to turn out to be a fine day (which I’m not complaining at all). Usually in Winter it’s very cold, cloudy and rainy and a lot less daylight, from what I remember of previous few years I lived here. But last week on that day it was even a little warm, when the sun was out for a few hours, which was why I am able to share pictures like his, since I do not have to hold on to my umbrella, bag and fiddle with the camera all at once.
I had been so darn busy I haven’t the time to tumblr very much ^^;
But anyhow this is definitely worth an entry ^O^
What is Japadog? If you’re hungry don’t look at the tumblr entry!! :P
I also did a mention about my visit to the Eastside Culture Crawl to check out my friend‘s table, had some funny pix as well ^^; lol!
This MONTH has been pretty crazy so far, other than tons of personal errands, a wedding to attend, activities with out of town relatives etc etc etc, it was almost as if we’re trying to squeeze everything into the last bits of summer ^^; Here’s a back dated food related tumblr, view at own risk (esp if U’re hungry and there’s no access to food) you been warned ^^;
Not my puppy :P
On a non food abuse related note, Meow and me got into the feature video on cutewithchris.com! Won’t tell you which one is me lol! It was only a passing split second, Meowmeow was on for longer at the end ;P
And gasp, no CG last week?! Sorry was working on CDE’s work stuff whenever I could ^^;;; no time for personal art for now ^^; Blythe Charity sewing related auction has started, more information on puppy52doll.com :)
And if anything remotely close to doodling, I doodled a quick one for a girlfriend’s birthday last evening :3
At Pyoro’s request, I decided to find some time to tumblr about our food abuse (lol).
We went to try out a new place down town by the name of Barefoot Kitchen (or Kitchen Barefoot), the little feets belong to one of my blythe doll, I think I will post pix of her at the restaurant later at puppy52doll.com :P My doll has her feet on the menu lol ^o^
So click the photo below to see the tumblr entry ^^/
^^; sorry so much food related posts ^^; Ever felt inspired when you see other people’s photos? I was inspired by 2 friends’ photos about Dutch Baby Pancake so I tried it out ^^
I hope next week will return to more normal art postings ^^; going out soon, so laters!
This is not good ^^;;;;;
Do not look if U hungree late at night with no food in kitchen, you be warned!
Added a new top for Babyblue flash ^^/ (hit refresh if U still see the previous version)
So this is the continuation of the previous tumblring adventure, food abuse edition part 2, yes more food pictures :P Do not look if it’s late at night and you have nothing to much on in the fridge…. You be warned!
Ready? Go!
The original recipe was only pineapple, chicken breast and spring onion, but I ran out of spring onion a few days ago, and had celery and red pepper in the fridge. So I decided to come up with a variation :) Thankfully it worked! (Yatta!)
Had this colourful dish with rice, and saved some for lunch tomorrow for me and hubby :)
About 4-6 serving with rice
Ingredients:
– 1 pair of boneless/skinless chicken breast
– 3 sticks of celery
– 1 small red pepper
– 1 quarter of a small pineapple, skin removed
– 2/3 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce
Instructions:
1. Prepare the chicken breast by slicing it thinly and marinate with soya sauce, black ground pepper, cooking wine, corn starch and minced garlic.
(Note: Minced garlic is optional but the end result is more fragrant I find)
2. While the chicken breast slices is being marinated (about 20 minutes or so is good enough), prepare celery, pepper and pineapple by washing and then slicing them thinly and set aside separately.
Tip: You can wash and start to cook rice in a rice cooker before slicing the ingredients, so by the time the dish is done rice is ready as well :)
3. Drizzle a little vegetable oil in a non stick pan on medium heat, and pan fry the pineapple slices until it caramelized a bit, set a side on the serving dish or bowl, do the same for red-pepper after washing the pan quickly, put it together with the cooked fried pineapple slices.
4. Wash the pan with water, wipe dry and put the pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, and pour in the marinated chicken. Stir fry until chicken is just cooked (just when you don’t see any more pink) and put in the sliced celery.
Stir fry for a 1-2 minutes or until celery appears a little softened (try not to over cook) pour in the pineapple and red pepper, mix it together, add the teriyaki sauce and 1/4 of water, simmer about a couple more minutes and it’s done ^O^!
