Instructions to make Damie Checkered Sushi Cake For Mother's Day:

1. Make the patterns and molds Cut the milk cartons into 4.5cm wide strips.
2. Form the Step 1 strips into circles, and fix them with staples to make 15, 10 and 5 cm diameter circular molds.
3. Wrap the part with the staple in plastic wrap.
4. Make the base Mix 440 g of sushi rice with with the sakura denbu. Divide into two 30 g portions, one 100g portion, and two 140 g portions.
5. Divide the remaining white uncolored rice in to one 30 g portion, two 100 g portions and one 140 g portion. Moisten the circular molds quickly with water.
6. Place the 5 cm mold in the center of a plate, fill with 30 g of pink sushi rice and press down evenly.
7. Add 30 g of white sushi rice on top of Step 6, and press down evenly. Add another 30 g layer of pink sushi rice and press down evenly. Remove the mold.
8. Place the 10 cm circular mold around the Step 7 rice.
9. Fill with 100 g of white sushi rice and press down evenly. Add 100 g of pink rice, then 100 g of white rice, pressing down evenly each time. Remove the mold.
10. Place the 15 cm mold around the Step 9 rice.
11. Add 140 g of pink rice, 140 g of white rice and 140 g of pink rice in that order, pressing down evenly each time. Remove the mold.
12. When removing the mold, hold down the edges of the sushi rice with a spoon or your hands, and lift the mold up gently from the bottom little by little.
13. Make and add the decorations. Crush the hanpen in a food processor.
14. Coat the Step 11 rice base all over with the crumbled hanpen from Step 11.
15. Cut the ham (or if using fish sausage, use a vegetable peeler to slice it) into strips, form a ribbon, and secure on top of the Step 14 cake with a short piece of pasta.
16. Wrap the smoked salmon slices to form roses. Fix on top of the cake with shiso leaves, next to the Step 15 ribbon.
17. Slice the cake Moisten your knife before slicing. The cake is quite thick, so you will need to insert your knife 4-5 times per slice. Moisten the blade each time.
18. It's difficult and time consuming to slice the cake nicely, so I recommend slicing it first and bringing it to the table already sliced.

Foods That Can Make You Happy

For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and should be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is a high sugar food or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are some foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, you might be surprised to discover, are terrific at battling depression. Just make sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you elevate your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try to eat an egg and feel happier!

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etcetera are all great for raising your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which promotes serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more you have of it, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a great protein source.

Cold water fish are great if you want to be in a better mood. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3 fats and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that raise the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: eating a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.

Some grains are actually wonderful for driving away bad moods. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel happier. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, which is a mood improver. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. You digest these grains faster than other foods which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Green tea is fantastic for moods. You just knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel so much healthier. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood also!

You can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are terrible for you to feel better! Test out these hints instead!
