Spell Your Name And Eat It



you don't know the half of it, but i love shopping. yes, i'm a guy, get over it!
when i started this blog i said to myself that i wouldn't post the results of my credit card bashings.
so far i think i have stuck to that promise except when it comes to non-personal items like mooncake molds, clay pots,
le creuset pots, chopping boards etc.
god, anyone would think i was a typical japanese housewife! (sorry k-chan!)

go ahead and call me crazy if you must, but after talking to my nana on the phone the other day, i suddenly had cravings for her homemade cookies.
most people would nip out and buy some cookies at the store, the creative type would probably think about whipping up a batch themselves and start searching for a recipe.
but no, what does mr sekimachihato do?
he makes a mental note in his head to buy the least important and most expensive "accessory" in the cookie making process, the cookie cutter.
(i have a very soft spot when it comes to accessories!)

but i'm sure you'll agree with me on this one, these alphabet cookie cutters from muji are pretty up there. no?
i so know you wanna eat all the letters to your name!!



i really have to start showing you guys the "results" one of these days.
you have yet to see a clay pot meal for one, a delicious le creuset pot stew, or my chopping board in action (ok, that might bore you a bit...)
i'm gonna get kneading and make some alphabet cookies soon, just you wait!

Hey, aesthetics is as very much important as the taste, so I suppose you're halfway there. ;-)

thanks for your comment, and yes, you are so right! aesthetics are an extremely close second to taste in my books. maybe on par.

I LOVE these cutters! Useful for cookies, sandwiches, and even home decoration!! Hahaha. But not for the street foods of the Philippines. Hahaha...

the thought to use these cutters on a sandwich never even crossed my mind!
thanks for the tip!

i spent a lot of time in the muji shops of hong kong when i stopped over on the way back to nz.
the range is vastly superior to what we have in europe.
i was in muji heaven, only to be topped to an actual visit to the mecca of muji - japan!
i'll stop waxing lyrical now :)

i gotta say we are pretty lucky in hong kong with our muji selection, but nothing beats muji mecca japan.
oh, if you are ever going to transit in hong kong, i heard there is now a muji store at the airport.
