Lightning in the Microwave

So today I went to the cafeteria to microwave my Church chicken burger. I put it in and waited for one minute and took it out and it felt cold. Huh. So I put it in again and microwaved it for two minutes. Still cold. I tried about five times more, each for two minutes, but the burger just wouldn't heat up!Finally I decided to go for five minutes. It was all going well until the moment a blue lightning flashed in the microwave. I was so. scared...So I took the burger out and looked at it. Nothing was burnt except parts of the tin foil wrap (there were small, burnt holes, and it smelled like burnt paper consider the inside of the wrapping is paper). Then I took a bite of the sandwich and it tasted nice. Hhahahahhhaha. A little spectacle of the day.

The Red Parka

So during spring break Leslie showed me this funny Japanese video called The Red Parka. I never got to finish it so I am watching it again today. The first part is soooo funny because it's just this dude dressed in red and when he jumps his clothes get ripped apart and he is left with nothing other than his underwear and his shoes. The second part he just pours water on his head and says "break fast" He actually meant breakfast, but he said the word in funny Japanese accent so it sounds really weird. Anyway you have to watch the video for yourself. Here's the link:

Eating Flowers

I ate flowers. I am serious. I am not joking.

Flowers don't taste bad actually. You just have to know which one is the best one to eat. Be careful when you are picking flowers (for food), because not all flowers are edible. You can actually get very very sick from eating poisonous flowers. I think dandelion is probably the safest one you can eat (apparently you can see dandelion salad in stores such as Safeway). Anyway, squash blossom is fine as well. It actually taste soft and kinda minty.

Here are some warnings for picking edible flowers.

One very important thing that you need to remember is that not every flower is edible.

In fact, sampling some flowers can make you very, very sick.

-You also should NEVER use pesticides or other chemicals on any part of any plant that produces blossoms you plan to eat.

-Never harvest flowers growing by the roadside.

-Identify the flower exactly and eat only edible flowers and edible parts of those flowers.

-Always remember to use flowers sparingly in your recipes due to the digestive complications that can occur with a large consumption rate. Most herb flowers have a taste that's similar to the leaf, but spicier. The concept of using fresh edible flowers in cooking is not new.

Long Jump Practice!

This afternoon my dad and I went to the school oval for a long jump practice (there's a pit over there, and two more on the south grass field). If the weather is good tomorrow, we are gonna have a LONG JUMP TEST. Mr. Pears only gave us half-a-class to practice, and I only got one chance to go. Well, I practiced some more today. My dad's pretty good at sports (even though he is a nerd) so he kinda acted like my coach and was like babbling about my technique and stuff. Turns out that his words are true. I almost reached three meters (I think). My dad was all like, "I COULD DO FOUR OR FIVE METERS WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE". I am not sure whether he was bluffing or not. Hhahahahaha. Anyway, the practice calmed me a little because I know that I am gonna be ready for tomorrow's possible test. Wish me luck!

Cutting Mushroomz

Cutting mushrooms is actually very fun, especially when you snip away the roots of those long n' white mushrooms in a bunch. They are pretty skinny so it's pretty easy to cut them. Trust me, the lower part of a mushroom is not very tasty nor tender. I like to eat the umbrella part because it's always so smooth and slippery and yummy. The stems are okay-ish...okay you must be thinking that I am weird but I AM addicted to mushrooms and my mom is adding some mushrooms to my noodle right now. Gotta have lunch. Cya!

Serious Cat are not Happy Nao

DO YOU DARE MOCK SERIOUS CAT?

serious cat is not pleased. Prepare for anger.

LOL this meme is so hilarious. That white cat in the picture actually looks serious and humorless. I have no idea how it did that.

Awkward....-.-

So I went to Alliance Francais this afternoon as usual. But when I got there, I realized that something was wrong. There was only four people I know left! And there were two new ppl! I got kinda freaked out but I thought meh maybe they were just new students. But then when my teacher got here (same one from last session) she took attendance and asked me if I had registered or not. I WAS LIKE "WAHHHHHHH?!" Apparently this is a new session and I have to pay money again. The last session ended before spring break. Wah. I was kinda sad. She invited me to stay but I feel kinda bad to stay there (without paying any money for it) so I thanked her and told her that I would discuss the issue with my parents and see if they want me to continue the next session or not. Hhahahaha. It was awkward, but I tried my best to turn the situation around!
