Favorite Meals All Day!

Sunday, October 15

As I finished most of households yesterday, I had free time in the afternoon. I went to Kaelin Farm Market to pick up a pumpkin. Soergel Orchard is a big one in Wexford. In fact, they are good but it is very busy on weekend right now. I just needed one pumpkin, so Kaelin Farm Market is good enough and also they have fresh groceries and yummy sandwiches. Anyway I made Jack-O'-Lantern before the Steelers game starts. We won, so it was a good Sunday!

Lunch

Okonomiyaki (Cabbage Pancake) 

Dinner

Spring Roll, Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken), Cabbage Salad

No Pirates Game on Saturday

I was planing to go to see Pirates game this evening. I want to go to see the games twice in summer at least, but I was too busy to go this summer. Finally I found a day to go ... which was today. Of course, it rains, thunder storm. So we went out for bowling instead. It was fun! We went to Rochester Inn for dinner and watch the game at the bar. It turned to a very fun Saturday.

I googled a recipe for artichokes. Oven grilled one looked good, but I didn't want to use oven for 45 minutes for only one artichoke. So I find the recipe using pressure cooker. Cooking time was only 10 minutes! That's for me!

Panzanella

It's been a while to make panzanella! I had all ingredients to make it ... but cucumbers! So I used zucchini instead. Ha! It worked!

Kushi Katsu: Pork, Shrimp, Zucchini, Onion, Mushroom, Green Beans

- I like breaded deep fried food (who doesn't!), but it's hard to make it good at home. And a whole house would smell like oil after cooking. Def, I would have to go to Kushi Katsu restaurant when I visit Japan next time.
