All of these tools just went up my nose

I’ve come down with a miserable sinus infection. I’ve been getting these for years and doctor’s have attributed it just to the way my head was built. I’ve even had surgery to try and correct it, but they still come back. They really make you feel like crap – head is all stuffed up, serious headache, and a dry hacking cough as the snot runs down your throat and into your lungs, drop by drop by drop.

I’m gonna go try something new now. This website suggests steaming your head with tea tree oil.

Hopefully my head will fit in the pot. Got a busy day ahead of me.

Check out this video! I made it on a site called Animoto.com . Awesome!!!

Sudden craving for this… was my MOST FAVORITE FOOD in Hiroshima during the time I spent there. Now look and read and tell me if it’s not delicious:

Kansai (Osaka)-style okonomiyaki is the predominant style of the dish, found throughout most of Japan. The batter is made of flour, grated yam, water or dashi, eggs and shredded cabbage, and usually contains other ingredients such as green onion, pork, octopus, squid, shrimp, or vegetables. Okonomiyaki is sometimes compared to an omelette or a pancake and may be referred to as “a Japanese pancake”.

In Osaka (the largest city in the Kansai region), where this dish is said to have originated, okonomiyaki is prepared much like a pancake. The batter and other ingredients are fried on both sides on either a hot plate (teppan) or a pan using metal spatulas that are later used to slice the dish when it has finished cooking. Cooked okonomiyaki is topped with ingredients that include okonomiyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce but thicker and sweeter), aonori (seaweed flakes), katsuobushi (fish flakes), Japanese mayonnaise and pickled ginger (beni shoga).

In Hiroshima, the ingredients are layered rather than mixed together. The layers are typically batter, cabbage, pork, and optional items such as squid, octopus, and cheese. Noodles (yakisoba, udon) are also used as a topping with fried egg and a generous amount of okonomiyaki sauce. People from Hiroshima claim that this is the correct way to make okonomiyaki.
