 “Sushi Nite” Cedar Park, 2020

DIY sushi at home is so yummy! This time we had some shrimp tempura which was new for our sushi nite. I thought it was pretty good! My favorite has to be the hamachi with avocado and plenty of wasabi. But everything was delicious – what a treat! 🍣❤

 “Hodgepodge Dinner” Cedar Park, 2020

Tonight’s dinner was a mix of leftovers and new sides. The casserole on the left is a mix of sliced pork belly (leftover from last night’s yakiniku dinner), kimchee, egg, and cheese. In the casserole dish on the right is Koa-friendly nachos, with cheese, chips, jalapenos, beans, red sauce, and grilled chicken. Then the sides are avocado with ponzu and katsuobushi, and fresh tomato.

I was a good fridge/pantry cleanup day, and a pretty tasty one at that. 😊

I hope you had a good day!

 ”Half and Half” Cedar Park, 2020

Now that Mariko has a really awesome pizza dough recipe, we’ve been enjoying a lot of pies lately. Tonight’s pizzas were a nice Margherita and also a half Gorgonzola/pear/honey and barbecue brisket pizza. They were all so tasty, but my favorite was the simple Margherita. I think it was because the crust was a little crispier than the half and half. Oh how I love pizza nights! ❤🍕

 “Katsu Dinner” Cedar Park, 2020

We probably shouldn’t eat too much fried food, but how can you resist katsu (deep-fried pork cutlet)? Along with miso soup and shredded cabbage, we had some ume-garlic, which was yummy. My first time trying it!

By the way, Lani likes to eat her dinner while we eat ours, and here she is waiting for us to fill up her food bowl. 🐶

 “Gyoza and Salad” Cedar Park, 2020

Tonight we had gyoza (from frozen) and three kinds of salad. It’s funny to call them salads, though. They are more like side dishes. I’m not even sure what qualities a side dish needs to be considered a “salad”. I guess I could look it up, but that’s one of those things where I find it more fun not to know the answer to.

Anyways, the side dish salads were gobo & carrot, pickled carrot, and a broccoli & egg. I felt like these were the main courses, and the gyoza was the side dish! They were delicious, all with a unique flavor.

I hope you had a good day! またね～
