Dinner Time!

今日は長かったです~~今日本語の宿題をしたくないから...ブログをアップデートします!

今度のテーマは今学期が始まったから料理です!


It's been a loong day.. Taking a break from Japanese homework, here is a sample of some of the meals I've cooked up this semester.

キューピ~

まずはお好み焼きです!キャベツ一玉は一人でなかなか食べられないから大きくてたくさんお好み焼きズを作りました。小林さんと他の友達が食べて助けました!

First up, okonomiyaki! This is basically a cabbage and batter pancake, but since one cabbage goes a long way I was forced to able to make about 4-5 giant servings. Thanks to Jillian, GianCarlo and friends, and roommate Jiyeon for helping me eat them all! :O

トウイックスもあるよ!

カレー、クロッケー、豚肉、キャベツ、ミルク
カレーが辛かったからミルクと食べてうまかったです!お好み焼きから残りキャベツと豚肉も出ました。

Curry, croquette, cabbage, pork bowl! The cabbage and pork strips were left over from the okonomiyaki. I had to use them somehow!! The curry was a tad bit spicy so it went well with a big mug of milk.

肉ジャガ、クロッケー、オムレツ
写真で肉ジャガはちょっと...やばいですね。でもおいしかったよ!そしてその日にクロッケーが嬉しかったね。

Nikujaga (meat and potatoes), croquette, omelet. The nikujaga doesn't look so hot in the picture, but I assure you it was good. As you can see, the croquette was trying to charm me with a bashful smile in hopes of escaping the dinner bowl that night. I enjoyed devouring his mushy insides. :D

Wow.. definitely one of my top bento efforts.

お弁当!ソーセージのおにぎりは昼ごはんで右の食べ物は晩ごはんでした。
お弁当: 豚とねぎのダンプリング、 パイナップルのソーセージ、さやいんげん、うめぼしとごはん

木曜日は一番忙しい日だからたいてい昼ごはんと晩ごはんをアパートに作ってみます。ソーセージがすごっくうまいから最近はまっています。そしておにぎりはおかかのふりかけをごはんに混ぜました。

Bento time. The sausage onigiris were for lunch and the bento for dinner.
Bento: Pork and green onion dumplings, pineapple sausage, green beans, ume and rice

Thursdays are my busiest days, so I try to pack a lunch and dinner before heading out. The pineapple sausage is highly recommended btw. I also added okaka (fish flakes) furikake to the rice balls before sticking the sausage slice into them.

 
 お母さん、見て!大学で野菜も食べるよ!

最後は一番最近の作ったごはんはにんじん、玉ねぎとさやいんげん、ソーセージでした。
野菜が多くて体によかったです!

Finally, my most recent cooked meal: a beautiful rice bowl with steamed carrots, greenbeans and onion, and sausage. Recently I realized that most of my home cooked meals are about 60% rice and 40% meat/other starches so I decided to go with some fresh produce this week.

で、宿題を続けます..
And now back to the homework..
