A meaty weekend

Saturday night: after a trip to costcos!!
Marinated spare ribs, minestrone soup, kinda caesar salad(tried to make the dressing myself, but it wasn't quite there), homemade bread rolls!!

Sunday night:
Hayashi rice(more like a casserole actually, bit of a fail in the sence that J wanted hayashi rice haha), salad with lettuce, tomato, olives, corn and broccoli

And kids meal:

September starts!

And hopefully a return to record keeping!

I have also taken a deep-freezer inventory, in the hope that we can use up frozen meats etc ( and save a bit on our grocery bills) . of course once it is used up, I wil have to restock, lol!

*Lost the recipe for the pork, but it had capsicums, atsuage and onions done in tobanjan, sugar, sugar, touch of soy and mirin ( I think) and cooked in sesame oil. Yum!
*pumpkin sesame-miso
*Daikon and tomato salad with Japanese dressing
*Asparagus
*spinach and tofu miso soup

Kid's dinner: slightly re-arranged with spinach, egg, pork chanpuru and some sweet potato and green peas!

And in August we fasted....

Or so it would seem-- my last food update was from the end of July!
Yikes!!!

Yeah, summer WAS pretty damn hot (we lived all but a few hours on three occasions) without the air-con too!

I didn't even keep a list of our dinners in August- but I do know we ate Goya chanpuru a few times(Goya from MIL), unagi once and found a new way of preparing pumpkin(胡麻和え) which was great for hot days!!

Oh and this is what we ate on Aug 31st!!

-sanma
-chicken wings in sweet chili sauce, honey, tomato sauce marinade
-pumpkin goma-ae
-tofu topped with okra and bonito flakes
