飯糰和小熱狗 | 十月30日2019 星期三

喜歡把家中食譜當作閱讀書籍的我，決定把家裡食譜煮一遍。有些食譜讀了好幾遍，卻不曾下廚做一次。這想法以前看完美味關係（Julie & Julia）就想做，但懶惰遲遲沒有動作。十月回台灣，又帶了幾本食譜回來。坐飛機回來沖繩時莫名衝動，覺得是時候實行這計畫了！隔天列好買菜清單，衝到市場採購，迫不及待下廚開煮！

吃飯糰總覺得必須配上味增湯才完整。作者說得對，做飯糰必須先備好料，像是手術醫生把器具全部擺整齊，順序不能亂。小熱狗UN覺得有點偏甜，但我覺得好好吃啊！

Rice Ball and Mini Hotdog | October 30th, 2019 Wednesday

I like to read cookbooks in my past times, and I’ve decided that I would like to cook the dishes that I read about. Certain recipes have been on my to-cook list for a long time, but lack of motivation has gotten the better side of me. I need to channel in some Julie & Julia in my life! This past October, I brought back a few more cookbooks from Taiwan. I made myself a promise on the plane that I would start making these dishes for real. The next day I started making recipes and ingredients list, headed to the supermarket, and eager to start cooking!

Rice ball is completed by miso soup in my opinion. The author was right to suggest that making rice ball requires ingredient preparation the same as surgeons organize their instruments for a procedure. The order is important. UN thought the mini hot dogs were a little on the sweet side, but I find them to be just right!

三明治 | 十月31日2019 星期四

萬聖節快樂！原先計劃和朋友去完健身房後要在外面吃飯，但基於今晚不在家吃，我把朋友抓來家裡吃我做的三明治。我覺得做三明治還是買白土司，胚芽吐司口感吃起來過分健康，說不上的怪！雖然書上用的是奶油，但我們剛健身完，實在不想此時破功。

大家萬聖節都做了什麼事？我一直跟蹤軍營裡的三隻小小兵，當然也一直到處要糖果。覺得嘉手納營地糖果選擇不錯，全是我愛吃的那種！明年繼續來！

Sandwich | October 31, 2019 Thursday

Happy Halloween! Originally my friend and I had planned a lunch date after our work out, but because I already had planned to dine out that night, I invited my friend over for sandwich. I think sandwich is still best with white toast, wheat toast taste almost too healthy. Recipe says to use butter, but I didn’t want to gain back all those calories that we just burned at the gym.

What did you all do for Halloween? I was following three minions trick-or-treating on base, and helped myself to some candies too. The selection of candies that they handed out on Kadena Air Force Base was not too shabby I had to say. I approve! Definitely returning here next year!

義大利麵 | 十一月1日2019 星期五

吃義大利麵時，我喜歡醬汁多過麵，像吃湯麵的道理一樣。我承認這是不專業吃法，但我就是喜歡勒！

第一次用番茄醬（就是配薯條的那種）做義大利麵，食材容易取得，不需煮番茄、烤蕃茄，一堆複雜備料。雖然還是喜歡慢煮出來的番茄醬做底，但肚子餓想快速準備午餐，這方法真的不錯。

Spaghetti | November 1, 2019 Friday

I like my spaghetti to have more sauce than spaghetti. It’s unorthodox, but still my preference!

First time cooking spaghetti with ketchup, it’s easy to find, don’t need to cook tomatoes, bake tomatoes, or prepare other ingredients. I still prefer slow cooking the ketchup to make the sauce, but when you are hungry and want to make lunch quick, this is not a bad method.

十一月4日2019 星期一

備註一下，我們家通常週末廚房不開。依照慣例，我和UN會在外面一起吃早午餐，晚餐則和朋友一起。

今天沒空買菜，無法做烹飪清單，只好清冰箱。煮了鍋料很多的大根排骨湯，有夠好喝，後悔自己沒煮多點。日本媽媽教我煮高湯，昆布水裡泡軟，小火煮十分鐘。撈出來後加入柴魚片，記得別煮太久。

早上四點起床去健身房，晚上煮飯快睡著。吃飯收時候，我們就要去睡覺。眼睛快瞇起來了，明天繼續四點起床，晚安！

P.S. 你們不覺得大根煮完有股…….屁味嗎？！

November 4, 2019 Monday

Our kitchen is normally closed for the weekend, for it’s when UN and I eat brunch at a cafe, and dine out with friends at night.

Didn't have time to grocery shop, so instead of following a recipe, I’ve decided to empty our fridge. Make a hearty bone broth with lots of ingredients. The broth was so heavenly that I wished I had made more. I learned how to make soup base from a Japanese mom. Soak dry seaweed until soft, boil on low for 10 minutes. Fish out the seaweed and then add some bonito flakes, don’t let it cook for too long.

Been waking up at 4am to workout, almost falling asleep while cooking dinner. Just when we are cleaning up after dinner, it’s almost bedtime already. My eyelids are now heavy, need to get up at 4am again tomorrow morning. Good night!

P.S. Do you guys find cooking daikon smells like… fart?!

蒜炒青菜、煎雞肉 | 十一月6日 2019 星期三

UN在家吃午餐，而且我也沒事，這種難得組合，我當然要煮一下！

食譜上寫著蒜炒青花菜，但我眼睛矇了，看成蒜炒青菜。沒買花椰菜，也忘了放蒜頭，其餘的我都有照做。我們邊吃邊笑這個烏龍。

Vegetable Stir Fried with Garlic & Grilled Chicken! | November 1, 2019 Friday

UN had a rare chance to eat lunch at home, and I wasn’t too busy, so I decided to cook!

Recipe says broccoli, but I used whatever vegetable there was in my fridge. No broccoli, and I even forgot to put in garlic, but I followed through with the rest of the recipe. We laughed at my own creation, but still enjoyed it.

馬鈴薯燉肉 | 十一月7日 2019 星期四

UN大讚這道馬鈴薯燉肉！放了三顆馬鈴薯，原本覺得太多，應該會變成明天午餐，但UN全吃光！捧場到我答應UN以後我會多煮這道，把UN養的胖胖的！

今天每道都加了我自己做的韓式泡菜。這泡菜是朋友S教的，也是她媽媽傳授的。做法非常簡單，只要有捲心菜、蒜頭、魚露、蔥、韓式辣椒粉，等三到四天後就能品嚐。下次應該來做個泡菜火鍋。

明天UN要背超重裝備爬山，咱們祝UN明天不會爬山爬到鐵腿！

Potatoes and Pork | November 7, 2019 Thursday

UN sang so much praises for this dish! I used 3 potatoes, thought it was a lot, and for sure would have leftover for tomorrow’s lunch, but UN finished them all! I will reward his appreciation by cooking this more often and fatten him up!

Every dish has my homemade kimchi in it. I learned how to make kimchi from my friend S, and she learned it from her mom. The recipe is easy, all you need are cabbage, garlic, fish sauce, scallion, Korean gochu powder. Mix them all together and wait 3 to 4 days and taste. Next time I should make kimchi hotpot!

Good luck to UN on his command hike tomorrow! He’s gonna have to carry a heavy load and hike for 3 miles!
