Whadja have for dinner?

We had eel donburi.


I tried to make unagi sushi with the eel and rice:


But I made some mistakes. First, I made the sushi rice with a bit too much water so it was a little too soft and hard to form. Didn't let it cool enough (we were HUNGRY) before trying to form it, so again it was somewhat hard to form coherent sushi rice bricks. So about half the sushi that I made were falling apart, and that's why I decided to go the donburi route with the remaing half of the eel.

Also the sesame seeds I had toasted up nice but stuck to my fingers when I was trying to put them on the unagi sushi. Still works better if you are shaking them out of a shaker or have the fancy dispensers like in the restaurant.

So I know in the future: Make my sushi rice with a LITTLE bit less water. Give it plenty of time to cool before making sushi. Come up with an alternate plan for sesame seed application.

It was all still pretty tasty though!

The last thing that I want is food!

zucchini and a coule glasses of nice, cold, refreshing water!

:shrug:

on Sundance. I'm sitting here trying to decide whether to heat up the pasta from last night or go get a burger.

And went out and grabbed up some 90% lean sirloin and fried it up in Bacon and onions and mushrooms and topped it off with Worcestershire Sauce, Pressed Garlic and Mozzarella Cheese.....

was cool. Me want.

with roasted asparagus. The salad was baby field greens and endive with Stilton cheese, candied pecans and pears slices.

extreme blizzard.

from my favorite restaurant. It was great.

I have a cold, and the congestion feels like a bowling ball in my chest. He soup (with ginger and garlic in it) really helps break up the congestion, and makes me feel better!

And a piece of my lemon meringue pie.

Just curious. :hi:

At Iftar gatherings, we break the fast with dates and juice. Then we'll just have a normal Pakistani dinner (curry, kababs, rice, etc.) When it's just my husband and I (as is usual), we don't make a production; just eat our usual foods.

The food sounds great, btw.

with sweet tea to drink

We went to Texas Roadhouse. I had the chicken portabella with mashed potatoes and baked beans.

(NOTE: I USED HUNG AS AN AUXILIARY, INSTEAD OF HAD, HERE BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT)

They were good. Last night we hung braised veal chops with portabello mushrooms and onions, and some fried potatoes and peas.

:)

Started with miso soup, then had hamachi sashimi and a maki roll. Also some pea sprouts. Yum.

Panfried with a mustard sauce.....

Reheated some rice...

Steamed some fresh asparagus.....

All was yummy, but it's a lot of work...and the clean up isn't fun

either.......


:9

but managed to bake a chicken thigh, and steam some garden fresh broccoli and carrots. :9

Then had a granola bar for dessert.

No need to marinate the chicken...in times like these, Montreal Steak Spice really is your friend...:-)

:P

and mango juice to drink. :9

So where do you get the eel? I've made sushi only once, and have since decided to leave it up to the experts. I plan on grilling chicken and zucchini for dinner, but I suspect I'd better get out of my "jammies" and get dressed, if I plan on going out into my yard. Don't want to scare my elderly neighbors! :rofl: Yes, it's been one of those cocooning days.

Just put the toaster oven on 350 broil, put it in there on some foil for 5-10 min.

It was delish! :)

:D

rice and beans and potato salad!
The boyfriend cooked as always!
YUMMY!

Grilled beef Kabobs tonight. Should be done in about twenty loooong minutes.

apples and cheese. I don't cook much on Sunday nights.
If I were ambitious though, I would make Thai Sesame Chicken. Self-combusting.

I like eel, I was surprised to find.

Well, it's Sunday now and my h is making ginger chicken with green peppers. It smells really good. Last night we had Thai take-out and Blue Moons with it. :)

Had a little leftover turkey and two barbequed chicken breasts from last night. Took off all of the meat from the bone and cut it into cubes. (ABOUT TWO CUPs) Added a can of cream of chicken soup, 1=1/2 cup of milk, 3/4 cup of parm cheese, some onion and garlic powder and a big handful of sliced fresh mushrooms. Blend all together and then poured over about a pound of cooked spaghetti. Mix. Bake at 400 for about 25 minutes, covered. Serve with a caesar salad and hard bread.

I may make pasta.

It was the meal served at the Croptoberfest scrapbook crop I went to.

Tonight, I'm making pumpkin pecan pancakes, sausage, and applesauce.

mac and cheese with hot dogs, cooked for me by the most wonderful sniffa. :9

I'd never done applesauce ice cream before -- it came out pretty well.

And when you're making sushi rice, have someone fan it (or put an electric fan on low) as you sprinkle the seasoned vinegar over it. It'll help the steam out of it, and allow the vinegar into it.

Ham sandwich with cheese, a glass and a half of milk, and a granola bar with chocolate and peanut butter chunks.

DIGIORNO!!!

With frozen vanilla yogurt and a brownie for dessert.

caramel dip for dessert. Oh! And some leftover peas from last night's dinner. And lots and lots of water...did lots of house/yardwork today, just parched!!
Will probably have some Neapolitan ice cream in a bit...yum.

The burger, fries and spinach dip before noon was so filling that I'm not having dinner. Good stuff, at a faux-Canadian restaurant.

on white bread w/ mayo

with mixed veggies. Hubbie and kiddo ate it up!!!

w/ avacado, garlic, lime, cilatro, onion - salsa
Spanish rice
