今週の食事 (What I ate this week)

I made a few yummy things that I'd like to share!
(no particular order)

Grilled chicken with umeboshi, shiso, and cheese!

Carmel and butter popcorn (plus Andrew's beer). You can drink beer at movie theaters in Japan! And you get this cool tray that fits in the cup holder! Isn't it cool??? And they give you blankets in case you get cold!!!

Treats I made for people at work on V-day.



Chocolate-covered strawberries and banana slices. Aren't they cute? They didn't have big strawberries this time-probably sold out for Valentine's Day-but these were still really sweet.


Mabodofu (a tofu dish) with eggplant and leeks!

Umm, this looks kinda weird but it tasted good. More grilled chicken with umeboshi and shiso, grilled eggplant, and some daikon pickles (tsukemono).



"Mexican beef bowl" YUM!!! Ground beef flavored with taco seasoning and chili powder over "Fiesta sides - Mexican Rice." It was so good! Thanks Mom and Dad for sending me the rice and spices!!!

It tastes better than it looks....

My friend made truffles with Creme de Cassis liqueur.


Grilled cheese sandwich--you can never go wrong.

Egg scramble with spinach, koyadofu (freeze-dried tofu--very high in protein!!), a little ginger and paprika.

It was a great week! I hope to eat a lot of great food this weekend when I go to Osaka!! Can't wait!

P.S. I found this cool blog--I'm in love with the pictures!!! http://bkfst.tumblr.com/
