Sukiyaki is another great meal for a chilly evening. Cooking at the dinner table is really fun too!

Curry from Leftovers
“Beef Curry and Eggs” Cedar Park, 2019
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. 😊🍛

Turkey Antidote
“Japanese Lunch” Austin, 2019
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. 😆

Cold Weather Food – Nabé (Hotpot)
“Nabé Dinner” Cedar Park, 2019
Austin got hit by an Arctic wind today, which started out at 70 ° F, but dropped to the 40s by the evening. But that means the nabé (hotpot) dinner is even yummier! Tonight’s nabé was a simple kombu broth with noodles, hakusai, tofu, and ground pork. The dipping sauce was a crisp ponzu with chili flakes and green onion. It was super! After we ate most of the nabé, the tradition is to put some leftover rice into the broth, cook a bit and then add beaten egg to make a yummy hot porridge. Topped with some nori, it’s the perfect way to finish the meal.
I have to mention that we also opened a bottle of this special saké, which complemented the hotpot nicely. 🍶

I usually dislike cold weather, but having hotpot on a chilly evening makes it worth it! 😌
I hope you had a nice day!

Sushi Request
“Fancy Sushi” Austin, 2019
Bay is visiting us for the long weekend, and he had three dinner requests: Carbonara, karaage, and Komé (our favorite Japanese restaurant). We tend to order our favorites, which for me includes saba and ankimo. When I first started eating sushi in my early 20s, I’d always get maguro and California roll, but I rarely eat those any more. Sometimes I will have some maguro sashimi, but never nigiri. Tastes change and that’s part of the fun – I wonder what will be my favorite sushi ten years from now…
