Bloody blogger/ iPad

I wrote up our meals for the last two weeks on the new iPad, and thought I had saved to draft but somehow they disappeared? or never saved? So now I have limited memory of what we have eaten (especially the sides)....which means it must have been pretty average! lol

 

**edit** just tried to publish this post and blogger is frozen! arrggh!! what is going on!?!? oh and I found my saved blog post from last week!

I FINALLY managed to get this post up by emailing it to my blog...ggrrr

Week of Mon 16 - Fri 20 May
<li> curry (*2 nights in a row!). We normally NEVER have leftovers,. but I got a bit shitted off when J said that I could eat the curry for lunch the next day....I was like how about YOU eat leftovers for once -- so we had curry again! Of course, it is always better the day after ;)

<li> Goya Champuru

<li> Chinese 中華丼

 

Week of Mon 23-Sun 29 May
This was a week of trials -- new foods that didn't live up to expectations. This meant that J had cup noodles EVERY night after dinner, lol! Sorry ;)

<li>Mon - Mexican night: tacos and mexican chicken soup (disastrous!! i will never believe another menu where everyone says it tastes great...it was too plain!! and now I can't even find the link for it to warn myself in case I try it again, lol!)

<li>Tues - eggplant with harusame mabo-style (package food, pretty average taste, imho) and にら玉

<li>Wed - <em>buri</em>煮付け. Forgot to blanch the fish in boiling water first (oh, faux pax!) so J reckoned it tasted to 生 (fishy). I thought it was ok.....

<li>Thurs - bacon, capsicum and brocolli quiche made with ready made puff pastry. The puff pastry base was not too bad, and super easy for when I get home at 4pm and need to

<li>Fri - natto rice, umeboshi, soy beans. J had work dinner with clients so it was simple frugal friday for the kids and I.

<li>Sat - french stick with prosciutto, cheese, soramame, cucumber in moromiso, tomato. Oh, and a few 梅酒ソーダs (hiccup)

<li>Sun - J made: からすカレイ煮付け　(J wants me to point out that it was from Norway, ノルウェイ産) potato salad, rice, pumpkin and onion miso soup, okra in タレ and served with katsuo bushi, cucumber and tomato salad.
