Spaghetti with Cream Cheese Tomato Sauce
クリームチーズ入りスパゲティソース

Spaghetti with Cream Cheese Tomato Sauce Dinner April 3, 2010 Okay, I saw the Philadelphia Cream Cheese commercial, and I had to try it; adding cream cheese to tomato sauce for spaghetti. I added small cubes of cream cheese to my store-bought red sauce. It was not bad. Well, I like anything with cream cheese, [...]

Warm Tofu Served with Sweet Sour Plum Sauce
あったか豆腐と梅だれ

Warm Tofu served with Sweet Sour Plum Sauce Lunch November 21, 2009 It’s one of my quick creations that do not have an “official” name, either in English or in Japanese. This was something I put together with ingredients I happened to have in our kitchen. Tofu, Chinese cabbage, and ground pork were cooked in [...]

Pina Colada Pancakes Breakfast November 15, 2009 Well, here in Minnesota we don’t really have the weather in which we can fully enjoy a tropical cocktail, like Pina Colada, at this time of the year. But these Pina Colada inspired pancakes can at least bring back some of our memories from the tropical islands we’ve [...]

Spicy Italian Sandwich

Spicy Italian Sandwich Lunch August 23, 2009 Terry and I like the $5 foot-long sandwich deal they have at the Subway restaurant. We usually order a Spicy Italian, which makes a perfect lunch for us to share. Last weekend when I baked ciabatta bread, I wanted to recreate this sandwich at home using this bread. [...]

Poached Salmon with Basil Sauce Dinner August 23, 2009 One of my blog friends told me about this German movie, “Mostly Martha”.

Watermelon Granita August 15, 2009 A perfect dessert for this time of the year. It’s very refreshing. I made my watermelon granita with fresh watermelon, lemon juice, sugar, and vodka. Yes, vodka! So this is for adults only. Mix them all together and freeze. After only a few bites, I was in heaven, in many [...]

Soy Beans in Curry Garlic Butter

Soy Beans in Curry Garlic Butter August 14, 2009 I like to keep a large bag of soy beans in my freezer as they make a fantastic snack. They are easy to prepare (one minute in the microwave oven), tasty, and they are good for you. I usually eat them with just salt, and I’d [...]

Mac & Cheese with Bacon and Three Cheese
ベーコンと三種チーズで作るマカロニ・アンド・チーズ

Dinner June 26, 2009 The top is nice and crusty.(I sprinkled Japanese panko, which is coarse bread crumb, on top.) 表面はかりっと香ばしく。 The inside is cheesy and creamy. 中はクリーミーに。 Perfect, served with steak. ステーキのつけあわせにぴったり。 Cheese used: Parmesan, chedder, blue cheese 使ったチーズ: パルメジャン、チェダー、ブルーチーズ ———— マイケル・ジャクソンさんが亡くなった。 いい意味でも悪い意味でもいつも何かと話題が絶えない人だったけれど、偉大なアーティストだったということは、誰もが認めざるを得ないと思う。 アメリカでは、彼のアルバムがレコード店では売り切れ続出、現在ナンバーワンになっているとか。 我が家でも今朝は夫の古いCDを出してきて、懐かしの“スリラー”とか、“バッド”を聞いていたりする。 ものすごい才能を持ち国際的なスーパースターであったにもかかわらず、彼の人生、あまり幸せそうに見えなかったのが胸を痛める。 ご冥福をお祈りします。 Please help us promote our blog by clicking [...]
