るろうに剣心/ Rurouni Kenshin (2012) Teaser Trailer
http://youtu.be/ObdlLp7gkYA
Ororororo! I am so excited *fans myself hastily with big abanico fan*
Live action movie adaptation of my favoritest Bakamatsu hitokiri (assassin/manslayer)!
The teaser looks way cool (am getting goosebumps), and I fervently hope they don't disappoint the still-here fans (*cough, cough* like me) who have been faithfully loyal to this series - from the manga (Watsuki-sama, mwaah!), to the anime, to the movie and even the OAVs even if one sucked big-time like a badly written fanfiction...*heats up*
Anyways... *sigh* I hope I can see this somewhere on the internet coz its fat chance it will show in our theaters...

Ube Jam (High School Notes)
Description:
Hey, I found my old high school notebook containing recipes for our "cooking" lessons in Practical Arts. Probably why the recipes are simple and direct enough for giggly high-schoolers to do *grin*
One of my favorites is of course...ube jam!
++++++
Ingredients:
4 c boiled ground and mashed ube (purple yams)
3 c sugar
4 c evaporated milk
++++++
Notes:
If you use the lusciously-purple ube from Bohol which we know as "kinampay", its even more scrumptious than the usual - this was how I did my first batch in high school and we all loved it!
For snacktime, we got several hot pan de sals, cut them in half, spread butter on one side and watched it melt, and the ube jam on the other side then closed the sides together and.......yuhmmmm......
Directions:
Combine all the above ingredients in an aluminum saucepan and cook over a low flame.
Cook until the mixture forms a soft ball in cold water which loses its shape when removed from the water.
Remove from the fire and place immediately into hot, sterilized jars prepared beforehand.
Seal at once and store in a cool, dry place.
Picture from Market Man's (Market Manila) blog on ube shows the delicious purple ube from Bohol when he scraped the skin off
