Sesame Milk Soup with Dumplings Lunch November 28, 2009 Inside the dumplings were ground pork, cabbage, garlic and ginger. The dumpling wrappers I bought at the local grocery store were slightly thicker than I personally like. But I should probably be grateful that at least they carry dumpling wrappers. The soup was made with water, [...]

Baby Buttons
ベイビーボタンクッキー

Friday, November 27, 2009

Baby Buttons November 27, 2009 I wanted to make these cookies, because they looked so cute in a magazine. They were so light and tasty, and I couldn’t stop eating… There isn’t much sugar inside the cookies, so you don’t feel guilty sprinkling a generous amount of powder sugar later. I also sprinkled green tea [...]

Thanksgiving
感謝祭

Thursday, November 26, 2009

Thanksgiving 感謝祭 November 26, 2009 Thank you, Nancy and Brian, for hosting the fabulous Thanksgiving dinner today. Everything was so delicious! Terry and I had so much fun playing with the boys, too. 本日は感謝祭。 今年は義妹夫婦宅に親戚が集まって、感謝祭の食事。 七面鳥、マッシュポテト、グリーンビーンキャセロール、クランベリーソース、スイートポテト、コーンキャセロール、等々。。。 いつも通りやっぱり食べ過ぎた（笑）。 感謝祭の次の日、明日はどの店もスゴイセールの日。 店によっては、夜中から行列が出来たりするらしい。。。 人混み、行列、早起き、と、三拍子揃って（笑）苦手な我が家は、いつも通り、セールは無視して、ゆ～っくりと家で一日過ごすつもり。 気に入っていただけたら、下のボタンをクリックしてくださいね。ランキングの順位が上がって、励みになります。 コメントもお気軽にどうぞ。全てに返信します。ブログをお持ちの方はぜひブログのアドレスをご記入ください。新しいブログ仲間に出会えるのも楽しみの一つです。 ＊プロフィールは右上のAboutをクリックしてご覧ください。

Tropical Sorbet
真っ白トロピカルシャーベット

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Tropical Sorbet November 21, 2009 I decided to make this just because I didn’t want to waste the last few drops of coconut milk left in the can. I mixed the milk with pineapple juice(from can), lime juice, sugar, and whipped egg white, and froze this in the freezer for several hours. This turned out [...]

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.

Poached egg (I make it in the microwave oven. So easy this way.) was then placed on top of the grits and [...]
