Tonight we enjoyed a homemade Indian meal that Mariko made. The recipes are from Japanese sources, so I’m assuming it has been adjusted for a Japanese palette, but I really don’t know. What I do know is that it was delicious. 😀
In other news, I went for a run today at lunch. It was good to get some sunshine on my skin even for a little while. I prefer to run when the weather is warm or hot, but running in the cold is okay once in a while. As long as there’s sun!
Look at all the gyoza in the pan, lined up so neatly! They remind me of the terracotta warriors in Xi’an. 😄
We tried a new chili sauce, which has tomato in it. It is very popular in Japan apparently. I thought it was good, but I prefer the garlic chili oil mixed with ponzu. I remember I had dipping sauces of shoyu (soy sauce) and vinegar when I was with my friends from Hong Kong, but I haven’t had it in years. Maybe I need to try it again.
Speaking of hot sauces, I just ordered three different kinds from Fly By Jing. They all look delicious, but I am most excited about the Mala Spice Mix, because I love the numbing peppers I had when I visited China. It might take a few weeks to arrive, but I am sure it will be worth it!

Tonight’s toppings were Burrata cheese, prosciutto, and greens over a thin base of mozzarella and marinara sauce. Add a little bit of black pepper and olive oil drizzled on top, and it’s perfect! ❤🍕
Today’s photo is of a baguette that Mariko baked today. It’ll probably be used for Koa’s lunch sandwich, but if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to have some of it with butter. I need to act quickly though, before it’s all gone! 😄
Bay made this amazing-looking (and delicious) charcuterie as part of our dinner. There was so much yummy stuff on it, this could have been the whole meal! 😊
