Mariko had some guests over for lunch today, and one of them brought their dog, May, along. She was very interested in the karaage and kept a close eye on it the whole time. Watching her was such a flashback, she reminded me so much of Lani.
Mariko made a huge batch of korokke tonight. She plans to freeze most of them for later, but with three hungry young men and one older man in the house, I have a feeling they will not last very long.
Tonight was taco night at our house, and it was a good one. We had al pastor and barbacoa to choose from, plus two kinds of salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, serranos, avocado, onion, cilantro, cojita & oaxaca cheeses, and plenty of lime. I ate so many tacos that I honestly lost count.
We warmed the corn tortillas on our comal before tucking them into the tortilla basket, and it made a huge difference. They came out soft, warm, and full of flavor. Definitely the right way to do taco night. 🌮
Our youngest son wrapped up his last class of the semester today, so we celebrated the best way we know how, with homemade takoyaki. It was absolutely delicious!
We visited with our friends tonight and they prepared an amazing meal. The first course was a dish called bacalhau, which is a dish made with dried cod, potato, and other spices. There are many variations, but our hosts described the one we had as coming from Spain. It was delicious! I definitely want to eat more!
