On Monday night:
Coddled eggs with ponzu soy sauce and grated ginger
Salted yellowtail tea rice
The eggs were kind of a phailure. I think the water was too cold because I let some ice cubes get in there. A bit of the egg whites were cooked, and the rest was raw, so instead my father and I ended up putting them in the microwave as we ate them. The sauce was good.
The tea rice was basically salmon tea rice, which is cooked rice and salted salmon in dashi and green tea, only with yellowtail instead. I got the yellowtail last winter and forgot it was in the freezer lolololol!!!! :( I put extra salt on it and rinsed it good and it was really sweeeeet.
Tonight, my family was too tired to make anything, and I had plans to cook, so we had:
Curry turnip soup with eggs
Reheated plain rice D:
You fry sliced onions and turnips in butter mmmmm, cook 'em in chicken broth with curry powder, put in a buncha turnip greens, and crack the eggs over the top at the end. You let the eggs steam a bit with the lid on the pot, too.
I made this and the coddled eggs with recipes from a certain Japanese women's magazine. Judging from the content, this magazine is aimed at married women with kids who are old enough to manage family finances and obsess about smooth fair skin. Why am I making these recipes?! (/Д`) This issue was from last winter and it had a special collection of easy-ass egg recipes. I have to admit the eggs look really good. They kind of...hit the spot...maybe I need egg vitamins? Lean protein? Mm, embryos.
I made the turnip thing because I wanted nice soft eggs in a soup, but as I started to finish it I was like, "oh shit, this could be awful." I was worried the turnips wouldn't cook enough or be bitter, but it had this wonderful sweet curry smell...it was nice and tender. And sweet. My parents went wild for it.
I also made this because my mother just returned from a week in Florence, Italy ._. Yeah. So she needed vegetables and non-Italian food. And my dad needed relatively soft food because he had dental surgery last week. In return, my mother used her psychic powers to figure out exactly which leather bag I envisioned, and then she brought it home from Italy. Before anyone complains, she got it cheap, and my only other souvenir was a Hello Kitty pen :P
Re: Vesperia entry, it's easier to just keep gabbing about Flynn and/or Ky Kiske. Can I do that, pleaaaaaaaaaaaase :( (I really just want someone to tell me that I don't have to attempt to translate the fake alphabet on the mural and the screensaver.)
