buri

MIL brought some rice over on the weekend - it had been sent down from someone in Miyagi. I was going to keep it, but J made a comment last night that the rice we are using is starting to taste あまり美味しくなくなった　- when we ordered it 10months ago in the big 10kg bags, they sent a second bag out free, so we have had it for a while. Anyway, thought I would be nice and cook up the 新米 tonight for him.

* 新米
* ブリ大根　（without the daikon) 煮る the buri in 100ml dashi, 50ml sake, 25ml soy, 25ml mirin (if I had any) and some ginger....hope it turns out ok.
* tofu that I forgot to put out last night
* snake gourd in へちまの味噌炒め　using dried scallops reconstituted in boiling water
* salad - still some lettuce, cucumber, avo, tom, red cabbage left to use up
* also still have eggplant, so will just fry it up and serve dressed with 昆布つゆ

dessert should be the plethora of fruit we have including nashi, apples, red seedless grapes, あけび and guava!

Akebia is also known as chocolate vine, or so the dictionary said.
