Its snowing today!  Its lovely outside, but very cold too.  Today’s lunch is spaghetti and cole slaw with bread and chocolate pate on the side.  The cole slaw was crunchy and sweet from the mayo.  The spaghetti was hot and delicious, and had a sweet flavor as well, but I tasted a little smokiness too maybe.  Tough to say, but it is still very good.  The pate was tremendous and super chocolately and delicious.  Perfect with milk and the bread, I made a little chocolate bread kind of snack and enjoyed it at the end of my meal.  Very tasty and a lovely end of the week. Thank you!

Today’s menu is a delicious pork and veggie stir fry with shrimp ball soup on the side.  The stir fry was excellent, flavorful from the ginger, and filling.  Great with rice.  The soup itself had a very light flavor, but a nice texture from the spring noodles.  The shrimp balls were amazing and each bite was an explosion of shrimpy goodness.  Nice lunch today.

Today’s menu is the ‘Goes great with rice’ menu day.  Fish, kinpira, and tonjiru.  A classic Japanese menu.  The kinpira is crunchy and sweet.  It also has a little bit of an interesting smokey and earthy flavor as well from the sauce and gobo I think which was nice.  The tonjiru is hot and delicious and filled with plenty of veggies and tofu alongside the pork.  Last was today’s main dish, the iwashi okakani, or Japanese Pilchard stewed in Bonito Sauce.  It is amazing and has a great flavor that is perfect with rice.  I felt like I could eat so much rice today thanks to the delicious dishes.

Mabo dofu day. Today is mabo day with delicious gyoza and a yummy salad.  The salad was a crunchy and delicious ham and sesame flavored mix of sprouts and greens which was a tasty and refreshing start to the meal.  Today’s fried gyoza were awesome and nice and crunchy.  The reminded me almost like crunchy fried eggrolls.  The flavor was delicious.  Today’s mabo was nice and hot and filled with lots of vegetables chopping very finely to mix well with the mincemeat and allow the texture of the tofu to stand out.  Overall a nice lunch and the agegyoza were outstanding!

The first full week back to school after the winter vacation and today’s lunch is komatsuna salad with tamagoyaki and chikuzenni, a dish of boiled veggies and konyaku.  Very Japanese, but very yummy.  The salad is a crunchy and mushy mixture with very strong bonito flavor.  The smokiness of the bonito and nice touch from the sesame seeds is a refreshing start to the meal.  The egg is sweet almost sweet enough to be considered a dessert, and is a nice contrast to the salty and savory flavors from the salad and the stew.  The chikuzenni is a hearty collection of root vegetables stewed in a nice sauce, which has some sweetness to it, but takes up those earthy flavors, which help to chew through the vegetables.  The bamboo shoots and daikon radish are my favorite.  This is a dish that I always forget that I like because without flashes of color from the carrots or green beans it’s mostly brown and beige.  But despite that, each time I take my first bite I remember how delicious it is.  It is a lovely meal and a solid start to what will be a great week of kyushoku.
