After we stuffed ourselves with a Cajun feast and drinks on Fat Tuesday, we quietly looked forward to this meatless Ash Wednesday dinner. I (Kayo) got more used to the practice of Lent and now have more cooking ideas with no meat. To kick off this season, I prepared a Japanese sushi roll meal, to enjoy a special bottle of sake (upon which God must have frowned). The bottle contains two tiny gold foil blossoms. Needless to say, we are going to enjoy tasty meatless meals on Fridays for a little while.
Then the weather got very cold again. One sub-zero temp morning two of our cars didn't want to start. We suspect tomorrow morning Joe will have to jump-start his poor old Subaru again, expecting it to drop down to twenty below tonight. Who wants to start up to go to work in the morning?? Brrrr....
P.S.
When it's this COLD, it doesn't even snow much. But our city crew recently cut back and removed some snow banks 1) so we can actually have some visibility in the street corners while driving and 2) so they have more room next time we get lots of snow.
Amazing amounts of snow you guys are getting up there Kayo-chan! Matt liked your post about blowing snow. He said it's pretty neat to see. He goes "is that thing called a snow blower?" These boys from Hawaii, haha! Btw your sushi rolls are looking very professional Kayo-chan! I wanna know how you make those (and some bigger photos of all your yummy food please). They look delicious! :-)
ReplyDeleteYukiyo, I figured Matt would like to see those big machineries for removing snow up here. About the sushi rolls, I sort of follow spicy tuna rolls and dragon rolls recipes from Just One Cookbook (in my favorite blog list), instead sometimes using cooked salmon or trout as a filling. I love seasoning the fish with mayo-sriracha sauce + a bit of sesame oil and chopped green onions. One sure way Joe will enjoy eating fish.
