Drag.

I guess your friends/relatives didn't know...?

I like light, fruit-flavored cakes... The only exception is a German chocolate cake.... The coconut and the chocolate... :drooling:

It's like a giant Mounds bar. :beaten:

Hawaii must have some really good Japanese restaurants though, huh? For obvious demographic reasons and the popularity of the state among Japanese tourists.

Yeah, I would think so... I thought I went to a couple of good ones when I was in Honolulu a ways back. :)

Yeah, I can imagine. :) Given Hawaii and Japan's shared emphasis on seafood...must be some good fish being served at Hawaii's finest.

No, my family knew alright. They just wanted to combine my birthday with my sister-in-law's one since we're about 4 days apart and since she likes that cake... :(

The only cakes I really like are banana and one of my relative's prune cake. :drooling:

Yeah. But only if you're on Oahu. :sweat:

More Japanese population there? I really don't know. Those bastards get everything and those of us on the other islands just look at them in envy. :usuck:

Dang, you got screwed on that deal... :sweat:

Itai.

I only like bananas as they are... Anything else (bread, cake, pancakes, etc.) is gross.

And prunes? :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:

Good. More for me then. :victory: And I'll pass on those fruity cakes so you can have them all. :mrgreen:

Back from dinner and hanging with my cousin... Dinner was okay, albeit unexciting... The conversation was much, much better. :)

Well, that's good. A blah conversation and a blah dinner would've sucked. Usually a good one or the other will save a night out with family and friends.

Yeah, but I'm greedy: all these nice restaurants to go to and we go to this place.... Might as well of had take out.

i seriously suck at cooking.

i totally failed making my first french toast. bfftt... it's like how freakin hard is it to make a french toast???

it was a total mess, edible and i liked the taste, but half-cooked, and definitely far from what i was expecting. for others who are also on a diet and can't find all those ingredients for the recipes in the internet, i think you should try doing what i'm gonna do next time. only add 1 pack of 0 calorie sweetener and cinnamon powder to the egg (use whole wheat bread) 1 egg, two slices of bread. use non-sticky pans, and cook until 1/3 cooked (the egg is no longer liquid) and then, toast it with the usual pop-up toaster. quicker, and you don't have to use margarine/butter :)

so i guess today i had a total of 1 egg, three slices of whole wheat bread, coffee, two packs of 0 calorie sweetener, and a bunch of fruits. :shakehead:
