「success」の使い方

I haven't put up any pictures of food I've cooked lately. One reason is that I haven't been cooking so much lately. I've been too busy.

I cooked these fried noodles the other day. Besides onions, carrots, and fried tofu, I used some spicy oil with sesame seeds. The noodles were just ordinary buckwheat noodles. You might want to ask me:

× Did you success?
○ Did you succeed?
○ Were they a success?
○ Were they successful?

Notice that "success" is a noun. The verb is "succeed", and the adjective is "successful".

• (definitions from Eijiro on the Web)
• success 成功（者）｛せいこう（しゃ）｝、合格｛ごうかく｝
• succeed【自動】成功｛せいこう｝する
• successful【形】〔結果｛けっか｝が〕上出来｛じょうでき｝な、上首尾｛じょうしゅび｝の、成功｛せいこう｝した

Yeah! These noodles were a big success, I thought. However, it could have been just because I was really hungry at the time.

One thing that I haven't been successful at is posting on this blog twice a week. Let's see if I have more success this week.
