akujunkanI really have to learn to schedule these around weekly server upgrades. Anyway, here is Today's Picture from February 14, 2009. It is of:
dinner! Or about 1/10 of dinner. The original idea was to get a few friends together for a potluck. This then evolved into a "dinner for single people on Valentine's Day," which further evolved into "dinner for single people on Valentine's day + birthday celebration for three friends."
The dish to the right is dashitamago; literally "[soup] stock eggs." It's a traditional Japanese food and one of my favorites. Basically, you take whip bonito stock, mirin, and (in this case) spring onion into eggs, then fry them like an omlette in a special rectangular pan, folding them over into very thin layers. Done correctly, the are heavenly.
The dish to the left is "moyashi"--which is basically whatever meat, veggies, spices and sauces you wish to stirfry with mung been noodles. A Chinese friend made this one, so it was delightfully spicy.
There are also some kidney beans and Indonesian-style soba noodles with shrimp crackers in the background.
That will be all.
