Yes to purple. I forget how much I like it until I see other rooms decorated with it. Maybe I'll use purple in my next place. Current place I'm renting has brightly colored walls and purple wouldn't work.

I wish there was a recipe for samgyetang. I can find recipes online but are never sure if that's how it should be, etc. If anyone has a link or suggestions, that would be great.

I like rice a lot but I'm Ok without having it with every meal but I didn't grow up in Asia so that might be part of it. I see lots of American's shy away from it as they focus on low carbs- high protein diets. They're missing out!.

The IKEA catalog was delivered to the front porches of the houses in my neighorhood! Whoa. That's the first time that has happened. There are lots of things IKEA I don't like, namely quality and the throw-away mentality/society it encourages (which I'm totally guilty of engaging in) but I have to be honest, when I walk into an IKEA store, I'm excited about decorating on my own place. Kudos on them for being able to do that. I love how put together the displays all looks. They have clever design at affordable prices.

You can order matcha online here. For ice cream, it's a lower grade matcha and therefore cheaper. For drinking matcha, it can get quite expensive. The stuff coming out of Uji, Japan is quite nice.

I would love to do this but have no where to store the art when it's not on the wall.

I saw them years back in Tokyo and I saw people scanning them too. I don't think they've caught on here though.

I love the floor and the fact the kitchen isn't all white. It's nice to see something that's different.

Tufted furniture is for people without furry pets or kids.

I plan my week out. Even with planning I wind up with unused food as often things like unexpected dinners out with friends pop up. There's been a lot of saturday lunches consisting of "this vegetable is about to go bad" soup.
