unagi energy

Of course the day before a business trip (o/s) J is late home (finishing off things in the office before being away for a week) so I planned well - with simple heat and eat unagi (energy for his trip) and some asari butter, together with some ひじき煮 (which I haven't made for ages! yummy), rice, miso soup, and other randoms.

K and I ate earlier, clearing up some leftovers in the fridge.

I have also cooked up 3go of rice both last night and tonight, and since I am eating minimal amounts of rice (for some reason just not that into it recently, unless it is served with three of those yummy umeboshi) there is a lot left over, so I have managed to freeze several servings of rice, which should mean that I don't have to use the rice cooker at all while J is away. Oh, and it is also a semi-attempt at puchi-節約, since they say that cooking up 2go or 5go takes about the same　amount of energy, so you are better off cooking more at once, and freezing the left overs. Iam not game to try cooking up 5go (sounds huge) so thought 3go would be suitable enough for starters!

About to have some baum kuhen (sp?) for late dessert with J, after he gets out of the bath.

I doubt there will be anything exciting to post for dinners the next week or so, but I hope to come back with a vengence in March!!
