beating the heat

Sun 25th - an early unagi eating fest at home with JAPANESE eel (wow, going all out! talk about breaking the bank) and shijimi miso soup. a 定番 menu to beat the 夏ばて (I hope)

Mon 26th - chicken, red capsicum, green beans and mushroom alfredo sauce (out of a jar) pasta with brown bread (homemade). Had to russle up something quick after not getting home until after 5pm after picing up L's passport, and taking K to a trial ballet lesson (that she looooooved, even tho she did all the moves from the sideline right beside me ;)

Tues 27th - goya champuru AGAIN!!!!!
(got another 2 goya from PIL over the weekend. was gonna make goya soup or deep-fried goya, but by the time I got my arse into gear, I really couldnt be bothered!still have a whole goya left to make something with later this week anyways) and 牛蒡金平 which I havent made in ages (wonder if the gobo eaten this wasy is as good for me as making tea out of it - apparently the new wonder diet, just saw it on "The music hour" tv program, of course (!?!?), miso soup using new miso, differnt to what we always buy, and after I made it I found out that it doesnt have the dashi already in it (like the one we usually buy) so it was very tasteless, lol. Only K and I had this as J was late home, so I resurected it with dashi b4 he had dinner.

Wed 28th

luv-ya goya

WED: goya champuru, mabo nasu, salad, rice, miso soup.

Hmmm, can I call this okinawan and chinese? lol

For someone who couldnt stand goya a few years ago, I am a true convert now ;-) I ate most of it myself tonight!!

fri night = steak night!

Wed - goya champuru, rice, vege soup, salad.

Thurs - total write off, thanks to BIG day out. LEft over pasta, and pizza for K and I. J even gad to get his own meal as I thought he would have eaten already after a day trip to osaka for work, but he got home early and un-eaten (? for want of a better word) to nothing!!

Fri - steak with hot pasta salad (mushrooms, onion, eggplant, yellow capsicum, snow peas and pasta spirals in "prego" tomato and mushroom sauce), dinner rolls from costco. Am looking forward to tonight's dinner☆
