good morning guys welcome to vlogmas day 15, i think? we're past the halfway mark i feel like i'm really gonna miss you guys when i stop vlogmas i feel like that every year, but doing daily vlogs is crazy it may seem easy cuz you know i'm not doing anything like strenuous in the vlogs but, say i finished vlogging at 11 p.m.. then i have to edit it which usually takes, i don't know, roughly an hour or so, then i have to upload it which takes another hour, cuz for some reason my internet has been piece of crap recently it's taking forever, and once it gets uploaded
i need to fill in the description box and make the thumbnail and add it to playlist. it's harder than it looks unfortunately, because i think i would really enjoy daily vlogging if like i didn't have to do anything, but the filming part but it just doesn't leave me much time for anything else, but filming and editing, so it's not very practical but what i'm thinking is i'll do like a month of daily vlogs here and there maybe like another one in april and then another one in august or something i think that would be lots of fun and i'll be in korea and everything will be new, it'll be exciting so yeah i'm really thinking about doing that for april-- maybe march cuz it'll be my first month there we'll think about it. anyways, i've had a really productive morning i've been remaking my new year's cards. if you watched that vlog where my ink wouldn't dry
you guys gave me lots of really great suggestions. i tried the hairdryer, it didn't work. i tried the hairspray didn't work it doesn't made it sticky i looked for the embossing powder at my local craft store but they didn't have any and i really need to get the cards sent out or they're not gonna make it there for new year's so i don't have time to order anything online unfortunately, so i just went out and bought some plain postcards and i'm decorating them myself because that was the only thing i could find that didn't have a shiny surface so it's like the only paper that would work with my stamps, so this is what they look like so far i know it's the year of the dog, but let's be honest, cats are better i stuck a cute little cat picture on there
and then the stickers- the omikuji- the fortune stickers, and the stamps work nicely, and then on the back i'm going to write little letters to everyone. i might add something else on, i'm not quite sure yet but they're getting there.outfit of the day- my really adorable pajamas from taylor. i love them they're so soft and comfy. i'm gonna live in these you guys. i wish i could wear them outside if that was socially acceptable in japan i totally would because they're so softso i'm currently just waiting for keyboard-san to get back home. he's been out all morning he's been trying to find somebody to buy our car it's a couple of potential people, so he's out there showing them the car and stuff
so hopefully we can find somebody because it would be great to have that money for moving fingers crossed. when he gets back home, we're gonna go out grocery shopping and get some food for dinner i'm not sure what we're gonna make yet you know what? i should look through my new cookbook from taylor and find something this looks really good. it's like a shepherd's pie but i have no idea what passata is? 400 grams of passata
something that looks like tomato sauce i guess, i'm gonna have to look that up but maybe i'll try this recipe. i've been craving some shepherd's pie. they made this mash with butter beans- lima beans i guess those are but i think i would prefer potato, so maybe i'll make some mashed potatoes and then this yummy veggie-casserole-type thing to go over top of them. if you are vegan or if you're looking for a way to incorporate some more veggies into your diet. this book is so nice it's really simple recipes and there's lots of really yummy looking stuff in here i will link this down below.the author katy actually commented on my
ramen video, i thought that was really neat.thank you katy for making such an awesome book 2 hours later just got back from shopping. i stopped at daiso and i got some more decorations for the tree you guys were commenting saying we didn't have enough decoration, so let's see if i can make it look better and what else did i get? i got some stickers for decorating my new year's cards, i thought i would add some sakura to it then i got some more glue sticks for my cards, too
then we went to the grocery store, and i got all the ingredients for the shepherd's pie, so i'm gonna start that soon i think it's gonna take quite a while to cook alright, got the onions frying in this pan and then over here, i'm just starting the potatoes. i'm gonna boil them and then make that into mashed potatoes i'm gonna make this a little similar to my grandma's shepherd's pie recipe, or at least how i remember it so it's gonna be a little different from the book i'm kind of just winging it, taking some ideas from the book and some ideas from her i remember her as being. i'm just cutting up some vegetables here i'm gonna do red pepper, and then i've got some shiitake mushrooms, and i'm also gonna add some corn
my veggies have been cooking here for about ten minutes or so now and i'm gonna add in this package of soy meat. it's like ground beef, but all made out of soy looking good, and i'm gonna add in some ketchup and some wor-worcestershire sauce (haha) i don't know how to say this.fun fact it's called "usuta sosu" in japanese, and until recently i thought that was oyster sauce because that sounds nothing like worces-shire- whatever the heck it's actually called threw in some minced garlic and now i'm gonna sprinkle in some corn
starting to smell really good in this bowl, i've just dissolved veggie broth- cube- and about a half a cup of water and i'm gonna add in a tablespoon of cornstarch to that i tasted it and it felt like you needed something so i added in a bunch of fresh cracked black pepper and some rosemary- can't go wrong with rosemary it smells so good for the mashed potatoes you can make them however you like, i added in a little bit of olive oil and some vegan yogurt that i have- soy yogurt- and salt and pepper then just scoop your potatoes on top of
your veggie mixture this is like traditionally made in an oven, but we don't have a dish, we threw out our only dish okay gonna cover that and let it cook there for another eight or so minutes it's a little messy looking, but it smells really good. i think it's gonna taste really good how is it? yeah, it's really good and so easy to make three hours later.
i've finished decorating all my new year's cards. they look so much better with the sakura stickers. i'm so glad i got those yay, all finished. now i'm gonna envelope them up and address them. you know what i think we should try that flower tea from taylor because i'm dying to see what it looks like. let's try that really pretty purple one it was at the end of the box this isn't a cup, this goes in here
never mind. i totally thought it was a cup and then, do you put the flower inside that little cup thing? i feel like when it blooms there won't be enough room for it in there.looks like that's kind of what they did here let's google it. okay. it looks like they just put it in the teapot not in that little cup thing. yeah, cuz i feel like there wouldn't be room for it so pretty whoa what so the tea i'm going to be trying is "fairy dispersing flowers" by ying kee tea house and taylor got this for me in hong kong
not sure if it's available online or not, but i'm sure you could find something similar there it is, pretty purple one, let's try that one alright here we go oh no it fell over there it goes i just realized i don't have any cute little tea cups to pour it into so i'm gonna have to use a mug my guess would be jasmine? is it jasmine tea? looks so pretty i love it
mmm tastes like oolong tea actually. let's see what the box says, does it say what kind of tea leaves? hmm no just says blossoming tea and tea leaves are the ingredients. it's really yummy though, it's a really subtle flavor if i had to compare to something it would be oolong tea, but it tastes slightly different, which might be the flowers in it i'm not sure, but it's really yummy, and it's super pretty. i love it thank you taylor wanna see something awesome? i got a
100 percent iv slakoth today- sla-koth? sla-koth? the sloth thing how awesome is that? if you don't know much about the new pokemon that came out i think he is the best one well he evolves to the best one, or at least one of the best ones, so to get a 100 percent one is freaking awesome, and they are quite rare this is only the second one that i've caught so far. i've only got six candies. i'm walking him right now hopefully i can get some more cuz i really want to evolve him. alright i think it's time for some mail opening because if i don't hurry up
