" SOBA Lunch, UDON Lunch "



It was a very nice Spring Satuday yesterday.
We decided to take a walk to a Japanese grocery shop in the Village.
I needed things for the coming week.
After outing, I decided to have Cold SOBA for late lunch.
To company it, I cooked CHIKUWA with KABAYAKI-Sauce.
It made perfect side dish for light lunch.



Sunday,  Today has been raining since I got up.
It feels like back to March.
What difference a day makes....
So, lunch today is Warm Udon Noodle,
with Aburaage(deep-fried TOFU), Wakame-seaweed, and Scallion. 
I'm so glad that we did Japanese grocery shopping yesterday.

" Curry Udon "




I made "Japanese Curry" for dinner last week.
And after few curry dinners we still had left overs.
So, it was time for me to make "Curry Udon"
it was the perfect hot pot dinner for a unseasonably cold night.
"Cucumber & Celery Salad" was the perfect side dish for a spicy dish.
I also wanted to have one more dish to complement supper,
"Goma Ae (Miso & Sesame Dressed String Beans)"

Looking at my neighbor's gardens from my window, 
I'm finding Tulips & Daffodils that survived yesterday's storm.
They may be sheltered by a Rosy Pink Dogwood ?
This is a very happy sight to have on a Home Bound Spring Morning...

" Dinner and Lunch "



I made Japanese style Hamburger last night.
Jonathan says it's like "Salisbury Steak"
It is braised hamburger with tomato based broth.
I always cooked with chunk of carrots.
Dinner was completed with Wasabi Potato & Green Beans Salad.
I also wanted to have Green Salad. 

Leftover Meat Patties became Sandwiches for Lunch this afternoon.

" Vegetable Frittata "



Today's lunch is " Vegetable Frittata"
I had leftover roasted veggies from last night.
Oven-roasted Sweet-potatoes, Carrots, Broccoli were perfect for a frittata.
Sliced Onions and Mushrooms were lightly fried before adding to the roasted veggies.
Eggs and Parmesan went into the pan before it went to oven.



Baby Spinach Salad with Walnuts and Mandarin Oranges
is dressed with Creamy Dressing to make a lunch plate.

" SAKURA in the Central Park "



One of my friend who lives nearby the Central Park, send me a photo.
SAKURA trees in the park are covered with glorious pink flowers now.
I wish I can go there to see them like I did many years.
But, I guess I have to wait to see Pink Cherry Trees till next year...
