 “Oyakodon Leftovers” Cedar Park, 2023

I made oyakodon 親子丼 (my 2nd favorite food) the other day. I followed this recipe from Just One Cookbook and it came out pretty good! I overcooked the eggs a bit because I wasn’t sure if my son’s girlfriend liked runny eggs or not, but it was still yummy. I made a few servings using small single-serving pans, and for the last serving I used a lid to cover the pan. This one turned out the best, with plenty of sauce left, and the egg cooked more evenly. Must keep that in mind for next time!

Anyways, the leftovers were delicious. 😋

 “MetroRail” Cedar Park, 2023

Today I went shopping at the super market to get some things for dinner. I was thinking how little I get out these days. But I don’t remember going out much pre-pandemic either… Anyways, I did get held up by the local train so I took a photo. It was a really nice day, actually. Can’t complain. 😁

 “Koji” Cedar Park, 2023

While Mariko is away on vacation, I have been tasked with caring for her koji mixture. I have been mixing it every day, and tonight I refreshed the mixture in a new bottle with more rice, water, and koji. I hope I did it correctly!

As far as the old koji is concerned, Mariko said it’s very good for health, so I have been having a spoonful each morning. It tastes like a carbonated saké porridge. 😀

I’m not sure what she will use the koji mixture for, but I know she’s marinated steaks with it and they were delicious. Can’t wait!
