Notes -
So in the spirit of small scale, what's for dinner tonight?
My wife was up tonight and made the following:
Regular onigiri with white rice
Pork-wrapped julienned carrots and green peppers with some sort of sour plum paste seasoned with salt and pepper. Sautéed so it was like a little roll of meat with vegetables inside
Some sort of kimchee vegetables that included celery sections. Was surprisingly good
miso soup (tofu, green onions, spinach)
tofu (kinugoshi or soft) in squares topped with thin sliced onions, sesame oil, and her family's soy sauce, which I'm told is noticeably different than that you can buy in stores
cucumber medallions and daikon radish and carrots pickled in some way
udon noodles topped with some meat and baby leaf lettuce seasoned in some way (I think the noodles were the main?)
I had all this with two very cold beers.
I imagine @Tretiak eating pizza topped in butter, how about the rest of you?
My MIL is cooking mashed potato patties stuffed with chopped wild mushrooms, which I consider a waste of effort. Frying some potatoes with the same mushrooms would be like eight times quicker and would taste better IMO. But she really loves the dish along with the rest of the terrible Soviet canteen-style cooking, so she gets to make it once in a while.
My wife is cooking us two a steak as well, so the dinner won't be so depressing.
