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?
I ate leftover ham and green beans. Boring, but easy. The ham was extra from when I made Ham and Cheese Calzones, which we already ate half of and froze the other half and don't want to thaw just yet because that defeats the purpose. The green beans were free/leftover from my wife's job. My wife and I both don't like cooking very much, so we typically make large batches of good stuff (like soup or calzones) every once in a while to eat when we get tired of free work food.
Ham and green beans are solid. Green beans and purple -hull field peas were staple sides at lunch and dinner growing up
