カリフォルニアブラウンライス丼

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

California Brown Rice Bowl Dinner September 7, 2010 It’s always fun to make a rice bowl. Just thinking about what I want to put on my rice excites me. A few nights ago I had a beautiful ripe avocado so I wanted to use it as a main ingredient for this rice bowl. Cucumber, sprouts, [...]

Thyme and Balsamic Glazed Meatballs with Kale Pasta Dinner September 6, 2010 The color of the balsamic vinegar glaze was seriously intense, but it tasted seriously delicious, too! This is a very easy glaze to make and a great way to enjoy your meatballs especially when you want something different from your usual tomato sauce. [...]

Tomato and Tofu Napoleon with Asian Meat Sauce Dinner August 18, 2010 Many of you probably thought this was tomato and “mozzarella”. The white layers are not mozzarella but tofu. This beautiful tomato came from my brother-in-law’s vegetable garden. Why are those vegetables from someone’s garden taste so good! This was served with Asian meat [...]

Arugula Risotto with Ginger Oyster Chicken
ルッコラリゾットと生姜オイスター風味チキン

Sunday, August 8, 2010

Arugula Risotto with Ginger Oyster Chicken Lunch August 7, 2010 I shouldn’t call this risotto, because it was not cooked in the traditional way. But I couldn’t really come up with any other good name to describe it. Steamed rice was slowly cooked in chicken stock so that the flavor was absorbed in the rice. [...]

Steak and Arugula Salad with Lemon Worcestershire Sauce Dressing Lunch August 6, 2010 The restaurant salad can be boring at times. Staring at a salad in front of me, I’d be thinking “I wish these were arugula instead of iceberg lettuce”, or “I wish there were more than three red onion slices” or “I wish [...]

Cold Avocado Wasabi Angel Hair Pasta Dinner, July 26, 2010 I personally think avocado taste the best with soy sauce. But then I like soy sauce with anything (lol). Here is a cold angel hair pasta dish made with wasabi avocado sauce. It was served with shredded poached chicken, sliced red onion, and shiso (Japanese [...]

Terry and Kayla Make Dinner Together
テリーとケイラ、夕食を作る。。。

Sunday, July 18, 2010

Dinner July 17, 2010 Our niece, Kayla, from Arkansas is visiting Minnesota and stayed with us this weekend. Kayla and Terry volunteered and made dinner last night. Spaghetti and meat sauce. It was delicious! 今週末うちに泊まっている姪っ子（１５歳）のケイラがテリーと一緒に夕食を作ってくれた。 スパゲッティとミートソース。 本当はガーリックトーストとグリーンビーンズも作ってくれるはずだったのだけれど（私が材料を買ったからね～）、それらはなぜか出てこなかった（苦笑）。。。 人に作ってもらうご飯ってホント美味しい。。。 昨日はインセプション(Inception)という映画を見にいった。 ここ数年のうちで一番！と言えるようなスゴイ映画だと思った。 夢のロケーションをデザインできたり、人の夢の中に入っていくことが出来たり、夢の中で明かされる他の人のアイデアを盗むことができたり、などというコンセプトが新しい。 面白いのは日本のシーンが少し出てきたり、渡辺謙さんが結構重要な役として登場する。 アメリカ映画に出てくる日本人俳優というといつもこの人のような気がするのだけれど（笑）どうしてかしらん。。。 他にももっと素敵な日本の俳優さん沢山いるのに～、と思うのは私だけ？ それにしても、レオナルド・ディカプリオ、最近いい映画に出るようになったなあ、と。 *My Red Currant Citrusade made today’s Foodbuzz Top9. Thank you [...]

Shrimp and Chicken Cellophane Noodles with Lime Sweet Chili Sauce Lunch June 26, 2010 Cellophane noodles are made from potato starch and corn starch. These are translucent, smooth, and very light.
