Rome (HBO)

If you haven't seen Rome on HBO yet, rent it on DVD. The 1st season is out with a 6-disc collection. I was never a history buff, but I can't stop loving this show!! I can only describe this series with one word, "EXCELLENT !" Defiinitely one of my favorites, very enjoyable to watch. Beware though, it is a rated-R movie with excessive violence, nudity and sexual scenes...not really meant for kids. But the storytelling of ancient Roman history is incredible. You'll find it impossible not wanting to see more.

Anniversary

I have my braces on for exactly 1 year to the day. I can't say whether this is fast or slow. My teeth has straightened out considerably but I still have a long way to go. Hopefully, a year from now, it would be a better story.

Mochiko Chicken

Googi asked me for the recipe for Mochiko Chicken so I thought to share it with everyone as well. Mochiko refers to the mochiko flour used in the recipe. The flour looks very much like baking flour except it's whiter in color and finer in texture. It also has a slightly sweet taste to it. You can buy the mochiko flour is any major supermarket. Mochiko Chicken is a Japanese dish, and works very well as an appetitizer. It's delicious and very easy to make!
