納得できるパンが出来るまでにはまだまだ遠い道のり。。。

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

A long way to go for a perfect bread June 28, 2009 You can probably tell, but I’ve been into bread-baking the past few weeks. Last weekend Terry and I drove to Whole Foods just to buy King Arthur’s flour. I heard so many nice things about this brand. I’ve already made a few loaves [...]

New Apron
新しいエプロン

Sunday, June 28, 2009

New Apron June 28, 2009 This beautiful apron is from Anthropologie. The mustard-yellow color is so pretty with the accent of blue. It looks very summery! I also bought small glasses made in Portugal and a pretty dish towel from this store. They have so many cool things, not only kitchen stuff, but also other [...]

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

Saturday, June 27, 2009

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 [...]

Homemade Bread
ホテル食パン（のはずなんだけど。。。）

Friday, June 26, 2009

homemade Bread Breakfast June 19, 2009 You’ve probably already noticed, but I don’t do much baking. It’s not because I’m not interested, but because it seems a bit boring as there isn’t much room left for improvising (if you change too many things in a recipe, you’ll end up with something totally disastrous). But I [...]

Chicken with Mint and Parsley Sauce Dinner June 22, 2009 Remembering seeing Bobby Flay and Giada Laurentiis making some green sauce together for grilled chicken on Food Network the other night, I tried to make something similar. I did remember them using mint, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper for their sauce, but I didn’t remember [...]

Rosemary Ice Cream
ローズマリーアイスクリーム

Saturday, June 20, 2009

Rosemary Ice Cream June 18, 2009 An interesting flavored ice cream was served for a dessert at a beautiful French restaurant in Japan. The ice cream was served with a small piece of wine tart, and they were absolutely delicious together. I didn’t recognize the flavor of the ice cream first, but then our server [...]

Burger with Spinach and Avocado Dinner June 18, 2009 Terry grilled burgers for dinner on the deck right before a storm came. It was a perfect timing; it started to rain when we sat down to eat. Terry made his burger with blue cheese and caramelized onion and mushrooms. I made my burger with Swiss [...]

Sweet and Sour Pork
手早く酢豚

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Sweet and Sour Pork Dinner June 18, 2009 Terry had a chance to try sweet and sour pork at a Chinese restaurant in Japan. I was surprised to find out he liked this dish. Terry usually does not like vinegar, so I assumed this was not for him. Since we got back from Japan, I [...]
