Since I inadvertantly derailed the General Yuzuru thread with baking, we could have a general stressbuster thread here, instead! Whatever we do to get us through the season. And in the not-so-distant future, the Olympics.

 

Strawberry shortcakes are encouraged!

There you go! I was also opening a thread simultaneously, but I decided to delete it once I saw yours! 

Please, bring in new recipes here - and make this a mouth-watering experience! Share pics of your culinary triumphs! 

With apologies for how crappy my phone camera is, let me kick it off with the cookies that started it all.

 

_{How... How do I upload photos... I'm so...}

_*gleeeeep*

 

How does one get attachments to exist?

 Oh, sorry, you can't directly upload pictures into the forum, but you can upload it somewhere else like imgur and insert the attachment. Sorry about that! 

Thank you for opening this <3

 

If anyone ever wants to know any good youtube cooking channels, ask away. I follow, like, more than 50 of them. I'm not kidding hahahah

 

Lately, I've been obsessing over bento's. I love pretty food, I love eating in boxes, and I love Japan. So it's a winning formula for me. This channel does the prettiest bentos ever. Sometimes the mom will cook, sometimes the father, and sometimes they make their little bean kid cook stuff <3 Adorable and delicious. 

 

 

Ah, I see, I thought I was being unusually dense.

 

Well, here we go, then. Out of focus cookies!

 

It still refuses cooperation...

 

Who wants to see them bad enough to click the link and go?

 

 

 

I've been considering taking up crocheting, too. I'm not in fact seventy years old, despite that.

 

Notice how all my hobbies involve sitting on my ass and not actually exerting myself seriously...

Omg they look absolutely tempting. Also, they are some dense cookies ohmagod! 

 

Nice cookies @WinForPooh - they will definitely come in handy this week! 

My preferred way of busting stress is cleaning up and sorting out my wardrobe. And it seems I haven't been stressed out enough lately...

Gardening is also good - hacking at tree-roots and tearing out brambles was just fantastic. 

My cooking triumph was just one thing when I taught an experienced cooking fan how to make pelmeni.

I wish I could send a few, really.  Ah, there we go! *feeling much too proud of myself*

 

Boy I do suck at taking photos.

Oh wow, they look delicious - and as if you need dexterous, firm fingers! I love all kinds of dumplings, maybe if you have a recipe you recommend, I could try it.

 

Gardening is great, too. I don't have trees or brambles but I get very, very excited when I see budding flowers on any of my potted plants.

_{We should all have a stressbusting technique as useful as clearing out wardrobe... Mine does need it.}

You guys are very productive in managing stress 

 

While I de-stress by playing mindless games, listening to music and lately added watching Yuzu videos to the list (no wonder I don't get much done)

I watch Yuzu vids while I do anything really, especially when I cook and I have to wait a long time stirring stuf on the stove, Porridge, for example xD
