wow, got 2 weeks to review (the pressure!!)

So obviously lost my cooking mojo, with days ranging up to 37degrees, I can't be expected to feel like eating, surely, let alone cooking!

9th - M came over during the day, and since I couldn't find the discount pizza coupons (turned out J had thrown them out, probably about 2 seconds after I said I would like to order a pizza when friend comes over, sigh) so we had salad and somen for lunch, with some frozen yakitori ;)

Seriously can't remember what we had then for Dinner on the 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th.

13th - goya champuru

14th - bbq while camping out at Doshi-mura.

15th - sushi at the expensive(r) sushi train, since kura-sushi was jam-packed! It was actually kinda nice for a change, at ttytt, only cost 3500yen for us all, compared to our regular 2500-2900yen at sushi train.

16th - after a big day out at the amusement park for K, we came home for dinner: すぶた thanks to J!

17th - salmon, rice, wakame miso soup and vege tomato stir-fry

18th - Curry rice

19th- left over curry rice ;)

20th - tried something new to use up the plethora of goya I have (PIL gave me MORE on Wed!!! Even tho I gave the neighbours some, still had a big one left)

This "goya fry" was not worth trying again - from now on, even if it means eating it 3 times a week, I will only cook goya champuru with my goya.

Also tried a sweet style eggplant and mince dish, rather than my usual マーボーナス tonight and it was good!! Served with rice, pumpkin soup, half-pickled carrots (as in, I didn't put them in early enough so they were not quite done) and some tomatoes.


Been having issues with K and meals lately too - I think it may be the heat, tiredness and going through "a stage" on her behalf too, but it really takes all the fun (if there ever was any) out of meal times, and everything to do with it. sigh.


Bring on the weekend and J's turn in the kitchen XD

cant think of any titles for my "getting more boring every post" food blog

Thurs 5th Aug - salmon, rice, hiyayakko (with momen tofu, accidently bought instead of silken "kinu" tofu. J had like one bite, fussy bugger that he is... lol)

Fri 6th Aug - spag bol, loaded with veges and in home-made 適当 sauce, frenchstick and french butter ;) and tofu salad (gotta use up that hard tofu!!)

Sat 7th Aug

breakfast was french toast with scrambled eggs for K (loves her eggs)

lunch was somen, after J took K to the doctors for a possible corn on her foot:(

dinner was hawaiian pizza (new menu!!) at costco for me, hotdog for K, followed by yakitori at the local summer festival that we saw going on when we got home, and J then had maguro-don

Sun 8th Aug hmmmm, wonder what we have in store for today? breakfast was coffee with costco poundcakes - great way to start the day, right?!?! Its already past 11am tho, so I dont think we can make it to kura-sushi before the lunch time rush either....

havin' a ball.....

Mon Aug 2 - J had a work dinner, and I caught up with a long-lost cuz (travelling thru Japan, we hadn't seen in each other in something like 15years+)and went to yakitori, where I found out he was vegetarian, so vege-yaki all 'round ;)

Tues Aug 3 - Takoyaki. Hundreds of the little buggers. Well, we probably made about 80 balls, and there were 2 doz left, which I froze (hmmm, not sure how that will turn out) so I must have eaten at least 30! A bit of salad on the side, and some corn on the cob, but really it was all about the takoyaki.

Wed Aug 4 - J texted to say he would be lateish home, so start without him. So we made it simple: rice, salmon, three-beans, and egg roll (J got himself an egg/yamaimo rice concction. yech!)
