焼きうどん?

I am unsure about what to. do..tomorrow the PIL are coming over, and J suggested we do nabe for dinner (or lunch??I am not sure when they are coming actually) So do I use up the pork and chinese cabbage I have in the fridge tonight for dinner, only to have to buy more for nabe tomorrow OR go out shopping now for something for dinner, and again for nabe goods when J gets home or tomorrow morning (as I am not going to be in charge of picking the meat for PIL they are picky about food, and I am sure to get the wrong one!! Leave that to J!)

Dilemma.

As it stands, I can make yakiudon out of stuff I have at home now. Can't really think of anything else I can make without having to buy something to add to it. And I don't really feel like hitting the supermarket today - after all, I have to clean the house, hehe. Oh, and catch up on some US sitcoms online...oh and procrastinate on the internet....oh and lie on the sofa doing not much. Monday's are SO the new Sunday in my world!

Actually, come to think of it I probably dont have enough udon. Hmmmm. Might have to do a cupboard search too and see if I can't come up with another idea.

To be continued.....
**********************
It's 5 to 12, and I am back after R's walk, which was via the 100yen lawson, where I picked up another packet of udon (and some pickles!) - problem solved, dinner decided. May even have some kind of mini-donburi type thing on the side. gonna see what I can rustle up.

I would like to say that I am back about to tuck into some yummy bread for lunch, but low and behold, the bakery near 100yen lawson is closed on Mondays AND the bakery the other side of train station, which I walked all the way back especially for took a special day off today. So no bread. Freezer foods to the rescue for lunch today.

sometime after 10pm....

So dinner turned out like this:

yakiudon,
kinda following this recipe for 味付けat least, using only the veges we had.
and 炊き込みご飯 using this can (which has nothing to do with strawberries) I didn't eat it, as the smell wafting out of the rice cooker was too much for me (should have been forewarned by the blurb on the can "enjoy the ocean rock and seaweed frangrance")
to turn out like this
