RADA: SunBurn w/ Yoshiko, Lolalita @ Corsica Studios - 15 Aug feat. Yoshiko, Lolalita, dogheadsurigeri + more
Had a #Yoshiko original
#charcuterie for dinner today. Yoshiko made it all basically from scratch (save for the meat and cheese, of course).
Ridiculously delicious. Also, we're almost 'Thanksgiving dinner' full. Only carbs were the flatbread crackers, though.
I include the #JapaneseFood tag because the potato salad and the carrot and tuna salad are Yoshiko originals inspired by traditional Japanese recipes. Also, the avocado recalls sashimi cuts.
#Yoshiko is watching a #Japanese drama, part of which involves some young men going off to fight in #WorldWar2. She is crying.
I wonder if in 100 years, the #USA will have dramas about regular people whose lives were totally destroyed by their irresponsible government?
Lunch was delicious today. #Yoshiko is practicing #nigiri #sushi again - it has been a while. She made this for lunch today, with some fish she got yesterday. I don't remember what the white fish were - hamachi and ??? - but I think the tuna is toro. And of course, got to have at least one shrimp.
She also made the ume and cucumber hosomaki.
Not pictured: the inarizushi she made to use up the sushi rice.

edit: added a few hashtags
We spent a couple of hours making #shogatsu dinner while watching #kohaku. Our biggest, bestest meal of the year.
In #Kanazawa, #Yoshiko, her mom, and her sister would spend much of the morning preparing a truly staggering amount of wonderful food. My job was to watch tv and drink beer with otoosan.
Now, we make #osechiryori (-inspired food) for just us, but still a family tradition worth keeping, wherever we are living.
We are very full.
We also had some #tsukemono that #Yoshiko made. Slightly sweet daikon pickles and more traditional cucumber, cabbage, and carrot pickles.
#JapaneseCooking tsukemono are very different from USA style pickles.
Tonight, with the curry, the pickles were an excellent counterbalance to the spicy of the #curry.
