I am always happy to see that they enjoy each others' company during such occasions...
For those few days, I am left to my own devices with regards to food...
The shot below shows yours truly trying to steam some stuff...
Brown rice and sauteed daikon (radish) which was actually pre-prepared by my missus...
And fish, yellow-tail... with vegetables at the far left... my 'original'...
During one 'lonely' weekend, attempted to cook some soup...
The lazy way, actually, where I can literally throw any ingredients I wanted into the iron pot (dutch oven)...
I did this outside, in the garden...
I put in too many ingredients... tofu, mushroom, carrot, garlic, potatoes, onion... more than 10 different types...
(When my missus returned and saw this picture, she couldn't help exclaiming hidoi... iro ha nai... oishiiso ja nai... (translation: terrible... no color... doesn't look delicious...)
And while sorting out the photos, I can across this shot...
Yaki-meishi kai ankake... or fried rice with bamboo-shell clam gravy...
Cooked not by me but by my sweeto haato...
Compared to the rather bland concoction in both taste and appearance that I had churned out, it is times like this when I am reminded of my lucky stars to have someone cook so well for me...
The last photo sure makes me drool.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost dinner time for me! Hungry! ;p
I think you cook the same way I do, but at least it gets us through the times our wives are away. Your wife's dish looks appealing and delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour comment had me roaring out loud.... am happy that I am not alone in this...
DeleteAnd you eat these alone? Where is my invitation? They look so delicious to enjoy by oneself :-)
ReplyDeleteHahaahaa... you'd probably regret the invitation... :-)
DeleteOh, what a great cooking. I also like cooking. I cook every weekend. Now, every man should cook for his family. :)
ReplyDeleteI plan to do more cooking, when I retire from my work... 8-)
DeleteIt does look quite pale and bland but you can cook! Now the way you describe your cooking experience, it makes your wife's cooking look very delicious indeed.
ReplyDeleteAm afraid you are right with the comparison... I have a lot to improve...
DeleteI think you cook rather well, everything looks good! The last picture looks especially delicious! Hahaha! Your wife cooked for you with love, that is why it is extra special! You are lucky indeed!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby can't cook, except maybe instant noodles and fried egg!! Guess what, his father is a good cook! :)
You are too kind... yeap, am very lucky, actually... perhaps one day, your husband may get interested in cooking... no?
DeleteI like soup. I'm sure your soup must have tasted great too except that it lost in looks to your wife's dish. :D
ReplyDeleteEven your all cooking look pale, but all sound healthy and I bet it taste good! Yes, I went to Kyoto and Osaka last week, that was a nice trip, and I enjoyed the foods there so much and made some nice shopping, like pickled Sakura .,which part of Japan are you living now?
ReplyDeleteI like to eat this type of food and wont feel jelak.
