Mariko bought a few dozen (did she say six-dozen?) tamales the other day so we had quite a big feast. Along with the barbacoa and puerco tamales, Mariko made a huge salad which made for a wonderful dinner. And the margaritas weren’t bad either. 😄
I hope you had a great day!
Sukiyaki is another great meal for a chilly evening. Cooking at the dinner table is really fun too!
Tonight I made Chicken Tikka Masala from scratch, using this recipe. It turned out great! The procedure is pretty easy, as long as you have the ingredients. Mariko made naan in the cast-iron skillet, and we also had a pre-made mattar paneer to round out the meal.
I’m not sure if chicken tikka masala’s origin is India or the UK, but it’s delicious and a favorite in our family. It’s so satisfying to cook from scratch too. 😊
This delicious beef curry was made (by Mariko) with leftovers from our Thanksgiving meal. No, it’s not made of leftover turkey, but from the leftover pot roast we served alongside the turkey. Since the pot roast had carrots and potatoes, it was perfect to re-purpose as a curry. Add a couple of soft-boiled eggs, and you have a perfect meal. 😊🍛

Today we took a break from leftovers and went to Komé Sushi Kitchen for lunch. I like turkey, but a nice Japanese lunch of fried ebi, oysters, miso soup, rice, and a selection of nigiri sushi was definitely welcomed!
Of course for dinner, leftovers is on the menu. 😆
またね～
