Unfortunately it also means doing the dishes and laundry I have procrastinated. The laundry mostly does itself although I do have to hang it but Japan has yet to get on the dishwasher boat and alas I have to do my own damn dishes. It's the chore I hate most in the known world.
This also means trying to figure out what to do with myself for the long (3 day) weekend. I am trying to save money because I decided that my birthday gift to myself next month will be a trip to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea (since we don't have the latter in the US).
Anyway, what you came here for I'm assuming was the food. ;)
I made a few delicious things this week. One was pretty much the most delicious pasta ever.
I did broccoli and asparagus because I had some broccoli that I didn't use for another recipe. I almost ate the entire pan. I will be making this all the time. It's really easy and super tasty!
Next I made this sandwich:
Mine is a little different because I would poke myself in the eye with a fork before eating sprouts. So gross. Also, I don't think Japan has pepper jack cheese so I just used the standard cheese. Finally, you must do this. Make the spread with chives but add dill. It's pretty much the best spread on the planet. I learned that trick from another recipe ages ago. Best thing ever.
I would make these again but maybe a little different.
I really think they need some kind of sauce. I did put a bit of Tabasco on the muffin. Maybe pizza sauce next time.
Here's some Japan snacking:
Caramel Latte and salad chips. I know right? The chips were good though I have no idea what flavor they were going for.
And finally, I tried roasted chestnuts for the first time:
Funny, I had to move to Japan to do that.
I hope you have a lovely weekend. I'll be cooking.
I don't eat meat, either.
