Tomato and Tofu Napoleon with Asian Meat Sauce
挽肉のせトマトと豆腐のナポレオン

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 [...]

Steak and Arugula Salad with Lemon Worcestershire Dressing
ステーキとルッコラのサラダ、レモンウオーウォーセスターシャードレッシング

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

No Ricotta Lasagna
リコッタチーズの入らないラザニア

No Ricotta Lasagna Dinner July 8,2010 We had our friends from California over for dinner last night. They remembered the lasagna I made last time they were here (about a year and half ago!), and I was so flattered. You rarely see lasagna on the dinner table at our house, because I’m still somewhat intimidated [...]

Meatball Lemongrass Soup
肉団子と春雨入りレモングラス風味スープ

Meatball Lemongrass Soup Lunch June 27, 2010 My husband’s favorite dish at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant is called “Lemongrass Chicken”. You can’t really taste strong lemon flavor, but this dish is definitely very flavorful and so so tasty. A few months ago I found lemongrass plant at a farmer’s market and I decided to buy. [...]

Potstickers with Gochujang Sauce
餃子とコチュジャンたれ

Pot Stickers with Gochujang Sauce Dinner June 26, 2010 Potstickers are one of my childhood favorites. Whenever my mom asked me what I wanted for dinner, I would say “Gyoza (Japanese word for potstickers)!” My mom taught me well, and when I was 6 or 7, I was already helping my mom to make them. [...]

Jumbo Meatball with Blue Cheese
ブルーチーズ入りジャンボミートボール!

Jumbo Meatball with Blue Cheese Dinner May 23, 2010 I saw a chef making really large meatballs for his restaurant on Food Network the other day, and I thought it would be fun to make some myself. This meatball weighs over a half pound and it’s larger than a baseball! I added a little surprise [...]

Rhubarb Steak Sauce
ルバーブ入りステーキソース

Steak with Rhubarb Sauce Dinner May 16, 2010 I thought it would be fun to use my homemade rhubarb jam for a non-dessert dish. Here is my rhubarb steak sauce. After taking a cooked steak out, deglaze the pan with white wine. Add chopped onion and reduce the wine. Add chicken stock, rhubarb jam, balsamic [...]

Grilled Steak and Red Quinoa One Plate Dinner
グリルステーキとクイノアで、ワンプレートディナー

Grilled Steak and Red Quinoa One Plate Dinner Dinner May 15, 2010 This is a kind of meal I can eat everyday. Lots of fresh seasonal vegetables and a perfectly cooked small steak. I love it! Grilled sweet corn, grilled asparagus, fresh avocado slices, and a grilled mini steak were placed on a bed of [...]
