Mendoza Express

Lunch on October 31.

I have been craving for Mexican food recently. I love rice and beans. So no wonder I like Mexican food. I went to Mendoza Express for lunch. I had had the catering food at work and it was good. My co-worker told me it was good to eat at the restaurant too. I had beef burrito before and I tried beans one this time. It was good, but not what I expected. The meal has beans and cheese in the burrito, rice and lettuce on the side. I like everything inside though. I don't know what is an authentic. Still I would like to come back again.

Drum sticks

Dinner on October 10.

I didn't know that we ran out garlics. Garlic is an essential item for tomato sauce dish. Anyway I cooked without garlics. It tasted fine, but I could tell that I definitely miss something. Moral; check the fridge before cooking.

 

Dinner on Oct. 29

Dinner on October 29.

Nothing special. Grilled salmon, cerely salad, cabbage and can of tuna and miso-soup.

Lasagne

Dinner on October 26.

Lasagne. Again, half ground meat and half veggies. I totally forgot that I still had celery and bought another. What is a good meal to use lots of celeries? Day 1, lasagne. I always use tons of veggies for lasagne anyway. Today's veggies are celery, carrot and onion.

 

Tofu Hamburger

Dinner on October 24.

Tofu Hamburger,  half ground beef and half tofu hamburger. Hamburger is always good, but sometimes it's too much for me (oh, yeah. I am not young to eat greasy juicy beef burger). I like to add something in the beef pate. veggies or tofu like this meal. It tastes lighter but I like it.

I put ketchup and worcestershire sauce in the pan after making hamburger and made the sauce. Easy and tasty.

 

Ocean Perch

Dinner on October 22.

Ocean Perch was on sale at Wholey's. I had no idea what they were and was suggested to make fried fish. I googled it at home and found the Japanese name. In Japan, it seemed more popular to simmer than to deep fried. First of all, I don't do deep fry much at home, and so I brought the fish to simmer with soy sauce and broth. It was good. If I can get them that good price (it was about $1 for 1 piece of fillet), def. I'll buy them again.

 

Akauo Nitsuke (simmered ocean perch), green beans, spinach

Pork and Fried rice

Dinner on October 21.

I had no idea what I wanna make. I just wanted to finish rice in the fridge. I could have put it in the microwave and eat but I decided to make fried rice. Today's fried rice's ingredients are turkey bacon (who bought it? Forget about calorie if you are hungry for bacon!), carrot, green beans and onion. Also I cooked pork by pressure pot and had it on the side.
