Teriyaki chicken finally makes an appearance!
For weeks now I have been wanting to have teriyaki chicken, after kel mentioned it!
Finally got some chicken (drumsticks?!) and marinated them up. Also found some fuki-no-tou at the supermarket, and seems the only way to really eat it is done in tempura. So i braved it- my first ever tempura!!! With batter from a packet, of course. Relatively easy with the IH stovetop. But still a bit of fussing around. Doubt I will bother again
Thurs- breakfast
Lunch- onigiri
Dinner- teriyaki chicken, tempura maiatake, fuki-no-tou and かき揚げ; 揚げ豆腐 with 小松菜 in konbu tsuyu; 16grain rice
Fri- dinner- natto rice for K, shirasu rice for L, curry rice for J and Thai food with beer for me! (I actually had a night out!!)
Sat breakfast - onion and bacon bread from bakery (yummy, and only 390 yen for a big loaf!)
Lunch - udon at home
Dinner - we went out to the Peking Duck restaurant "Cafe 8" again!! Loved it!! Even L seemed to enjoy his duck!
Sun - breakfast - onion, bacon bread
Lunch - Denny's (I had katsudon, K had udon, of course! L had some of everyone's rice, noodles, and J's veges)
Dinner - beef stew and rice, farmers market brocolli

looks like we are into broccoli at the moment
Sun breakfast- croissants
Lunch- ramen at chinese restaurant near garden shop that has like 50 old bats working in the kitchen, a bit like a co-op type restaurant. Old-style ramen taste.
Dinner - J made a mac'n'cheese type pasta dish
Mon breakfast - croissants
L had yogurt/farex and kiwi fruit
lunch - out at friend's house cream stew
L also had a banana and some cream cheese pita-rolls
dinner -
L had rice with pureed broccoli, and a selection of broccoli, cherry tomatoes, blueberries
K had rice with tofu, and side selection as above
I got left over curry
J had rice, salad, アジ干物, 冷奴
Tues breakfast
Lunch - egg sandwiches
Dinner - ginger pork (that K helped me make, which meant she actually ate it!!) with rice, salad, and stir-fry eggplant/asparagus and maitake in oyster sauce
Wed breakfast - pizza toast
Lunch - rice with fried cod.
Dinner - J has work drinks, so I am using up the eggs (we bought them 2* times this week, so have a bit of an overload. Vege Quiche (broccoli, sweet potato and eggplant?? hmm, wonder how that will go) and mashed potato.
***
edit: So I ended up doing a slightly twisted version of this recipe which basically means I added eggplant, capsicum and asparagus. Was pretty good! ended up serving with steamed sweet potato. L lapped it up (K not so much so, but she enjoyed the sweet potato at least)
