[Cookpad recipe vs. Ito] Mikan, Satsuma Mandarin, Bread

I baked the mikan, the satsuma mandarin, bread by following the recipe on cookpad.
According to the recipe, what ingredients I need to make it are:

強力粉 (bread flour) 280 grams
みかん４個（正味250 grams） (4 of the satsuma mandarin orange for about 250 grams)
砂糖 (sugar) 20 grams
塩 (salt) 5 grams
バター（マーガリン）(butter or margarine) 20 grams
スキムミルク (powdered milk) 8 grams

ドライイースト (dry yeast) 3 grams

I had everything except powdered milk. But, I know I could screw everything up by choosing the wrong substitutions (and actually I am very good at it,) so I did not use any substitutions either.

I had the salt but I did not use it because the butter was not unsalted one, so I assumed what the butter contained should be enough.

Then, I put everything in the container of the home bakery except the dry yeast; usually, most of home bakeries have the separate place to put the dry yeast in.

For the quick mode, I put more dry yeast than the regular mode, so I put 5 grams of the dry yeast instead of 3 grams. After I started the machine, I just need to let it bake the satsuma mandarin bread for some hours.

And this is how it came out:

I am not sure what had happened, but the top middle part of the bread was dented.

It could be because either the room temperature was too low, or Anpanman punched on it while I was not looking it.

Darn you, Anpanman.

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say *LOL*

Ito Shunsuke
