A few years ago, I loved Bilson's performance of Mozart piano sonata immediately, without knowing it was played on a fortepiano instead of a modern piano (I still can't really tell the difference now though). Since then, in addition of my addiction to Sir Gardiner's Mozart performances, I was extremely pleased to discover their collaboration on Mozart piano concertos later. Some people don't like that they used a fortepiano, and said it sounds like a toy. However, I've listened to many versions including big names like Uchida Mitsuko, and still prefer this "less rich" fortepiano's tone the most.
And finally I added this into my physical copy collection. After almost 3 weeks of waiting, it arrived on Monday afternoon, and my disc drive began to spin like a centrifuge that evening.
(But I only ripped them, completely forgot the tagging (fortunately I have a script to batch read track list from existing cue files)! Σ( ﾟдﾟ)；

The only complaint I'd have to say is that the booklet has only one real photo. It would be greater if there're more.

On the same Monday, I went to Walmart and got an KOKIAngel-food pan. Although cakes from it are supposed to fluffy, my first try using it today didn't turn out that well. But actually, such a pan really helped to keep the surface flat, and thus I'm happy.
I mean, it's soft, but not as fluffy as I expected. Perhaps the reason was the amount of material. All recipes I found were using a 17 cm pan, while what I bought was about 24 cm -- the only kind Walmart has!
Next time I'll go up to 7 eggs. The crazy big world. u_u

On my way going to Walmart, I saw this was simply beautiful, like falling sakura.
But I'm pretty sure they're not sakura petals!

On the other hand, baking is definitely easier than making wagashi. I tried to make some daifuku today as well, but the resulted stuff never was even like a manju! orz
Fine. I swear I'll never try them again (but I do want to try making some youkan once I get a pressure cooker and some agar powder). To be honest, parsing gigabytes of plain text won't making me so disorganised.
At least, during programming, "die and rebirth" can be done over and over, but during wagashi-making, there's only one chance per set of prep.
In this sense, playing with "C-sharp" is also easier..

Meanwhile, I'm more confident on omu-rice though.
