♥ Claw games full of Hello Kitties

Being the claw game (or UFO catcher) master that I am, these photos make me want to visit Japan even more than before! I can’t even recall a time when I saw a Hello Kitty or Sanrio toy in a claw machine, yet they seem to be in them everywhere overseas. I’ll need to save money just for playing them!

♥ Baking Hello Kitty cookies

Posted by Crystal - 03/01/09 at 09:01:02 pm

Last week or so, I attempted baking some sugar cookies with the Hello Kitty cookie cutters I had purchased on a recent trip to the mall. I didn’t really have a specific recipe picked out, so I just used the one provided on the back of the cookie cutters package. I guess that was a bag idea because I followed the recipe exactly; measured all the ingredients, and the consistency of the dough turned out all wrong! The cutters stuck to it and when I tried to remove the excess dough it would ruin the shape. The boyfriend had a clever idea to just dip the cutters and not peel away the excess dough and bake it that way. You can probably guess how that turned out; a huge flat cookie with the shapes drawn into it. So, a lot of dough was wasted. I ended up adding more wheat flour (wheat was all we had left) to the dough and that fixed the problem. I got some cookies to turn out good but didn’t bother with adding frosting because I didn’t have that many cookies.

♥ To toast, or not to toast

Posted by Crystal - 21/12/08 at 03:12:21 am

Look what I got in the mail; the famous Hello Kitty toaster that toasts HK’s face right on the bread! It’s one of my Christmas presents from my dad and stepmom. I always wanted this toaster, but never bought one because I hadn’t lived on my own. Now that I have one I have a dilemma; I don’t know if I want to remove it from the box or not. It’s just that it’s so cute, and imagine if I could keep it in the box for years…plus, I already have two basic generic toasters. Should I take it out of the box? I am curious about the toasting… I need to decide something, it’s been sitting on the kitchen counter since I got it.
