I was trying to pour a basic heart for my latte art today, but it ended up looking like a dabbing rabbit. I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to do this right! 😄☕
Is this sashimi or carpaccio? 🍣 I’m not completely sure, but at any rate, it was delicious! 😋
A friend came over for dinner tonight, and wow, it turned into a huge feast! 🍽️ On top of everything you see in the photos, we even had karaage. Needless to say, we were all stuffed by the end.
Tonight we had two kinds of dumplings: Har Gow and Gyoza. And to go with that, yummy fried rice! 🥟 This a truly a comfort meal for Asian families.
One of my small goals for this year was to make tamagoyaki. Surprisingly, I’d never actually made it on my own before, even though it’s a pretty simple way to cook eggs. Mariko gave it a thumbs-up, so I’m counting that as a win. 😄🥚
Here are a couple of recent dinners worth sharing. Tonight was all deep-fried goodness: korokke and aji-furai, with two carrot dishes and a fresh salad on the side. A perfect combination.
Last night was pan-seared salmon, baked gratin, salad, and rice. It was so filling. I was happily stuffed. 😋
Mariko baked a fresh loaf of bread today. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? I picked up some sliced turkey and muenster cheese from the deli, so I’m very much looking forward to some top-tier sandwiches this week. 🥪😊
