Pajamas & Recipes
Thursday | June 25th, 2009 | 34 Comments 
I ended up feeling quite sick this morning so I went ahead and stayed home. I was resting on & off again all day and feel 70% better now. I dunno, maybe it was just stress & exhaustion? Or maybe I’m fighting off some cold. I’ve had an on & off again sore throat for days. I don’t know. I was just downstairs this morning trying to shack it off so I could get ready for work. I was lying there and thinking, “OK, 30 minutes to get ready, I can make it.” Then 20, then 10, then I realized I wasn’t gonna make it, I felt too awful, haahaa.
While in a semi-dream state I was watching the Bonnie Hunt show and they had some woman there with the book, Hungry Girl. They shared 3 recipes which can be found here. I’m trying them out! I got really excited because the pasta recipe calls for these tofu noodles Mike and I have already been using!! Yea, tofu shirataki noodles!! Extreme low in calories & carbs! They taste great too.
We bought the original yam shirataki noodle too but haven’t tried them yet.
So I’ve been in pajamas most of the day. I didn’t start feeling better until around 4:00 when I forced myself to change into REAL clothes. I think I needed to just push through the fatigue and “walk it off” in a way. So no matter how I feel tomorrow I’m going into work 
I bought some new PJs actually. I was at K-Mart of all random places (I go there like twice a year for seasonal stuff) and they had a really great sale on these cute Joe Boxer pajamas. I love Joe Boxer. They were really popular when I was in High School & I used to buy their underwear because they had that sort of boyish style for girls. These are really soft too~
I got PJ top (below) because it really reminded me of something Rinka would wear,
hahahah
I took a really intense sweat bath last night (maybe that didn’t help much with how I felt today! LOL!) using 炎赤の湯 sweat bath. The scent is FANTASTIC and it makes the water glitter & gleam!
As for the cell phone blog, I’ve actually already been doing it for about a week. But given the responses about it I think I’ll still keep it pretty private, maybe. I’m not ready to slap a link up in my blog’s sidebar just yet. Don’t worry, sushi-cat isn’t going ANYWHERE. If you want the link to my Ameblo then feel free to email me at jenny@sushi-cat.net for it. If not, that’s OK too~~

Well that sure is interesting. I got sick this morning also… except I had to go to the emergency room for dehydration. I’m better now, hope you are too!
Oh no! I hope you’re feeling much better now!
i love your new pjs
cute cute. hope you feel better!!
OW!! ~ Look at the water and the duck so adorable!!
Jenny where do you get all the bath things i wanted but i can’t find –”
anyways ur blog is lovely like always!!
I’m not exactly sure what you mean by bath things? The ducks are from World Market & webichi.com sells Japanese bath salts!
Pajamas are soo cute. I love the screen printing. And I’ve always wanted a happy face tee like that. I think I may make one eventually. Gotta get transfer paper… Haha
But they are soo popular in Japan right now.
The bath water is soo pretty and its pink, or red? Very cool. Haha, I’ve never tried any bath salt type things. I should get some next time I’m at the asian market, or Disney.
now i totally want to go to a kmart now, there used to be one near but they turned it into a korean owned indoors flea market. haha.
rinka reminds me of kaela with the smiley faces.
and i love those tofu noodles, never tried it but i always touch it whenever i see it. xD
Aww…I hope you feel better soon!
That’s such a cute t-shirt! I’ve always wanted to get one of those smiley face t-shirts. I see them everywhere in the jmagazines but I can never find any here. D:
Too bad you were feeling sick >w
WOW I just looked at the nutrition facts & those noodles are crazy healthy!!! Jonathan and I eat a lot of pasta so we might need to invest… :O
The shirt is so cute! Totally something I’d wear, I love the “I HATE U” Rinka is wearing
I’m glad you are feeling better. Sometimes it’s good to just have a day off to recoup.
I sent you an e-mail about your blog~ I love the idea of it~~
Taking a day off is always good!
And there’s nothing wrong with staying in pajamas all day. I don’t change into my real clothes when I’m at home. I guess I don’t really have any “real” clothes. Once I get home, I change into my PJs!
Ohh I hope you’re feeling better!! I ove your pajamas! There’s this nice pajama store in th shopping centre near my house called Peter Alexander but everything is sooo expensive D: (designer pajams) but they’re cute at the same time~
The “i hate u” Tshirt mde me laugh XD I like the one you got too!!
I really wanna try the sweat baths!!! Can;t fidn it here though
There’s an international Rakuten if you feel like spending an arm & leg for bath salts, LOL. I might use it some day to get more diet bath salts!
Whoops, here:

I have the same problem with baths, I can never sit in there for 30 minutes because I get so bored ha ha ha, but maybe I’ll try reading a book or magazine next time >.
Feel better soon =( well better as in better for a long time ;_; as in I hope you don’t get sick in the future! Poor Jen #_# you seem to get sick a lot.
Ooo I had the exact same smiley face shirt =o except mines was uhh pink and black I think XD
and lol @ the bath xD
Haha it looks like your bathing in gyaru fireball water!
Does it make the water feel hotter? Hmm how does it work?
ur PJ just similar wif d new at KAELA shop … kekke !!!
anywhere take care yah !!!
hope u’re 100% recover nw =)
Aww, Jenny~ I’m glad you’re feeling (sort of?) better
It could be a lot of things that fuck with your immune system… I think you probably needed a day to just lounge around & rest anyway *hug*
Those noodles look really good actually! You can make pasta with them? I’ve been using whole-grain pasta for my recipes, but that sounds way healthier. I’ll see if I can find them somewhere around here~ thank you for sharing the recipes too
& omfg K-MART??? Those pajamas are too adorable & I LOVE the smiley face shirt!
Awesome finds!
aww i hope you feel better :]
it seems like a lot of people are getting sick this summer
ooo those tofu noodles are really good :d
what a cute pj top
& SWEAT BATHS~~!
omg the water looks
so nice *-* lol
Wow, the noodles sound so yummy, and your bathwater looks so cool! It’s all shimmery!
the joe boxer pjs are so cute!!
wow that sweatbath looks intense. did it make your skin all glittery too!? and where can you buy those sweat bath packets!?
If you search “sweat bath” here you can find some popular ones! It’s the only goods site that seems to sell the diet salts.

Besides the Tofu shirataki, if you like curry, I recomend you Golden Curry haha. It’s also cheap and really tasty （゜∀゜ )~
Oh I LOVE Golden Curry!!! Though I also like Vermont Curry & Kokumaro too. I tend to buy Kokumaro most~~
That bath water is pretty cool~
I need to try out tofu for once, I don’t know what the difference is between tofu and soy ._.
I hope you’re better tomorrow
Getting sick is AWFUL.
I’m not that excited about noodles [I eat it a lot being in a Chinese family] but I’d LOVE to try some tofu noodle.
I was wondering though, did you get your bath salts/powders/etc from online or in some Japanese shop? Is it expensive??
x]…I just saw someone else ask that q. never mind!!
I’ve been signed up for Hungry Girl emails FOREVER but I never read them!! It’s kind of pointless haha. I’ve always wanted to try those noodles though!
OMG that sweat bath looks awesome and it must have felt so good. Drinking tea and reading magazines is the perfect combination to me!
Cute new buys, as always
I hope you feel better soon. I was ill all weekend feeling nauseas so you have my sympathies.
Cute pajamas. Where did you buy your magazines from?
I buy mine from a local Japanese bookstore in Rockville, MD. You can buy magazines online from fujisan.com or yesasia.com
