Awesome Loco Moco!

Really liked it and it's quite conventional.

For the burger, I kinda followed the Oklahoma Onion Burger style by cooking the onions while cooking the burger. You can probably use any kind of burger. Be careful to not burn the onions.

For the gravy, I sweated out finely chopped mushrooms in olive oil and added Costco gravy (for their fries and the like) and thinned it out slightly with milk (about 1/3 cup).

Arrange with piling the burger with the onions on the plate of rice, then ladled gravy on the burger and finally, a fried egg on top. Preferably with a bit golden brown crust.

I think the onions made it all the more tasty!

Spring 2014 Anime

I may or may not add pictures but here are some first thoughts of my anime season.

Instant Noodle Combo!

I just stir-fried some green onions and chopped garlic in sesame oil, and then added some slice fresh mushrooms (preferably asian kind, shiitake or shimeji but any kind works) and coated them in sriracha sauce.

When I cooked the noodles (beef flavour), after it boils I put in some spinach and I turn the heat off.

I top the stir-fried mushrooms on the noodles and sprinkle on bacon, which I had chopped and fried.

Anyway, have any of you people grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? I tried it and wow, it was good!

Wrapping Up Winter 2014 Anime

I'll just do a quick sum-up of my season instead. No pictures, sorry. :(

Golden Time - Overall a pretty strong anime in story and character. Art production's not the best which can kind of affect the anime. Unfortunately ending did not leave a remarkable impression for the anime itself. Recommended if you just started watching anime or looking for a drama.

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - Much more laid-back and lighter than the first season. Very slice of life in most episodes. Enjoyable, but I would have preferred this series in a smaller package (OVA, ONA, etc).

Seitokai Yakuindomo* - Great start and quite entertaining. Not as exciting compared to the first season and sometimes can be boring.

Nagi no Asukara - My big favourite through the fall and winter anime season. A lovely story with an uplifting last episode, I found it a really sweet anime of growing up and feelings. The characters are so well-written which makes me even more impressed. Beautiful art too. An absolute recommendation! Watch it if you haven't!

And so far on the anime I'm watching that will last through the spring anime season:

Nisekoi - I think this is a mish-mash of tropes I've seen a lot in anime, which results I guess, in an okay series. It's not very original and feels derived. The main characters sometimes act so shy that this part of their personality overpowers them and annoys me honestly. Also, I am the other half of the watchers who would prefer this anime without the trademark peculiar shots its studio SHAFT is known for. It would work though, if Nisekoi is more unusual which it isn't really. Execution needs a bit of polishing!

Art is nice for the most part I guess. I also like clariS' opening theme. Hopefully, somehow the story will turn around or at least something happens.

A pretty calm season, I think. Nagi no Asukara really left me a mark, just like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo last year (sorry, other anime XP).
