My suweeto haato's first attempt at making 'doraiyaki', a Japanese sweet...
They look just like the ones in the stores...
Hmmm, I love doraiyakis...
Hmmm, I love doraiyakis...
Had to harvest all the remaining carrots in the potager...
Way too much to munch as salad...
So, requested my wifey to make carrot jam...
She did that... plus a cake to match...
Wooh... very, very nice...
While in LA some time ago, visited an old pal of mine...
He is making a name for himself in the world of BBQ...
He gave us a packet of his secret rub of spices...
And my missus tried out the rub on chicken, beef, pork, and fish...
The above pic is chicken breast meat...
She put the stuff in our wood stove before retiring for the night...
So, the meat was cooking when we were sleeping...The taste? Absolutely lovely!
We like to chew on salads in our evening meals...
Here, my sweeto haato came up with her own creation...
Mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, gherkins from the store...
And from our potager, snap peas, lettuce, borage flowers, rocket flowers...
And from our potager, snap peas, lettuce, borage flowers, rocket flowers...
Plus a generous dash of olive oil, vinegar, and pepper...
Lovely with some white wine for dinner...
The usual suspects for our lunch...
Somen noodles, shrimps, green onions, carrots, tofu...
We almost always share just one boiled egg for our breakfast...
Mmmm... doraiyaki. Can I have some too? ;p
ReplyDeleteCarrot jam and carrot cake too? Sounds absolutely lovely. ^^
lina... you like doraiyaki too? Carrot jam, on top of a cake made from a mixture of soybean powder and other stuff such as brown sugar...
ReplyDeleteThe yellow of the yolk in the last picture is so yellow! The missus is a really good cook :)
ReplyDeleteWow, everything looks yummy! You are so lucky, your wife is a very good cook. You both share one hard boiled egg? How romantic! :)
ReplyDeleteUnkaLeong... think they call it 'sakura tamago(egg)... they taste good...
ReplyDeletekitchen flavours...used to eat one boiled egg each many years ago... but now, half-half...
That top picture looks - like flapjacks or Scottish griddle pancakes?
ReplyDeleteElephant's Eye... looked up the net in search of 'flapjacks' and 'Scottish griddle pancakes'... wow, the vast varieties of pancakes found in different parts of the world... wooh...
ReplyDeleteSpent some times to read your "two minutes fame".
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting success story.
Yum! to all! Sure is wonderful to have your own potager and a great cook at home.
ReplyDeleterainfield61... danke for spending precious time reading the story...
ReplyDeleteHappySurfer...thank god and my lucky stars that I am enjoying life here in Japan, although I sometimes miss Msia...
Why half an egg now? Wow lovely nicely made by wifey.
ReplyDeleteBananazஇ... I would like to answer, Because, it is 'romantic', but I am too old a dog to say such 'romantic' things...
ReplyDeleteReal reason is, to control the cholesterol level...
What too old? Age is just a number haha. Romantically using Hokkien saying ~ chit lang chit pua, kam cheng kah bay sua..
ReplyDeleteDont worry about cholesterol level heard from a nutritionist friend of mine says we can take as much as 12 eggs per day..how true?
Oh yes, I have a sweet tooth but in this post everything is so tasty.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading this in the morning and after these delicatessen I can't find anything tasty in my fridge.
Bananazஇ... I speak a little Hokkien but I cannot comprehend what is written... can you please elaborate on the meaning? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat? 12 eggs per day? Wooh, a bit too much for me, I think...
maiaT... me too, I definitely have a sweet tooth!
Looks like many delicious meals at your house! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteThe 'doriayaki' looks great - ?pancakes. Your food is colourful and with such colours,the antioxidants are taken care of:)
ReplyDeleteHi, for some reason, I am unable to open your latest post for the last few days? ...
ReplyDeleteBananazஇ... 12 eggs on one day? wooh, looks like a bit too much eh...
ReplyDelete~Holly~... I am somewhat lucky to be able to enjoy such meals at my house...
Keats The Sunshine Girl... I love the doraiyaki, and the colors too...
kitchen flavours... Blogger has been rather funny these days... wonder if any one else has the same issue... hope it is ok now...
