Hi all *^_^*

Been very busy the last couple of months, but decided to take some time to explain what I’ve been up to.

The shop is a constant and of course teaching my little ones (children’s classes) and I’m currently trying to raise funds for two other projects that I have going on at the moment.

The first one is my Tokyo Fashion Guide. So far I have quite a few people helping me out and I’ve found several models willing to be featured. It’s getting very exciting and we’re getting geared up for our photo shoot in September. I’m raising funds to help print the book, since my funds are, well, nowhere near to what is required.

The second project is for a children’s book that I’m working on. This one is a solo job and I would really love to be able to print and distribute this as well. I love making children’s books, but just need the funds (as usual!)

Here are a few sites that I’m part of to generate funds and give something back as a Thank You!

Great gift to print for anyone -especially the little ones!

If you’ve always wanted a pretty kirigami cut out, or give one as a gift!

If you like my Eco DIY projects, and would like ideas for your old items:

Finally…..this is the main Tokyo Fashion Guide fund site. You can get your name in the book, or even receive a free copy!

Lately the weather in Tokyo has been unbelievably hot and humid. Though uncomfortable to stay in the city with this weather, it got me in the mood to make my fun avocado tomato pasta salad (a favorite at home).

It’s a great summer dish that’s quick, very healthy, and just looks like a “happy” dish.

Ingredients:

2 cups pasta

2 ripe avocado

cherry tomatoes (as many as you like)

1-2 tbs white vinegar (balsamic also works well)

2-3 tbs dried basil or dry herb mix

salt and pepper to taste

other options: parmesan cheese or paprika powder

Process:

Cook the pasta to desired tenderness and run under cool water to stop cooking process, then strain well.

In a large bowl, scoop one of the avocado (preferably the softest one) and add vinegar.
Smush it with a fork until creamy (slightly lumpy is good too!).

Cube the second avocado and cut the cherry tomatoes (10-20) in half. Add to the creamy avocado.

Now, add the pasta with the dry herbs, toss well. Finally, add salt and pepper to desired taste.

At this point, you may add more vinegar to add a bit of a sour flavor to compliment the sweet tomatoes and creamy avocado.
You should also try adding other vegetables, like bell peppers or green beans to change the flavors.

Enjoy!
