9/6/08: A colder day...

Well, I live a lot more northen then most people, so it gets colder faster here. It was a perticularly cold day about two days ago, and I had dashi kombu, katsuobushi, green onions and miso paste so I thought, why not?

Hot miso noodle soup.

Oishii...wish I had some more.

If anyone's wondering, those are egg noodles. I felt in the mood for wider noodles and I didn't have any udon handy, although they turned out pretty good (they just soak up a lot of dashi!). Also, some might say I add too much miso for one bowl of noodles, I say "NEVER ENOUGH!" *blows person back twenty yards on to their face*. But yeah, really, personal preference is cool.

9/1/08: Finally! Food by me!

Here are my homemade blueberry scones. They turned out very nice in my opinion. Sadly my little camera cannot seem to capture how pretty they actually are... I'm thinking on buying another one (my current one is a cell phone...hehe).



A little blurry I feel...still, I wanted to add an upclose shot.

I found it a little bit difficult to find a good blueberry jam at my local market...they only had "blueberry spread" and blueberry jam with Splenda in it... which I can't say I like.





And dinner....my little kanitama.
It was delicious.
I don't know if I would change too much, I really loved it as is.
I used green onions, bamboo shoots and ginger for the main ingredients (next to crab, of course). The ginger slices really added a refreshing "zing" to the flavour, I always could tell which piece was bamboo shoot and which was ginger, that's for sure. And yes....another blurry photo....chiku shou...
If anyone wants the recipe for either, let me know.
