Lunch Log: Week 25

Made a batch of ganmadoki though this time I just pan-fried them rather than the non-traditional ovenated method. Lots of ‘cupboard staples’ abound: frozen prawns, frozen salmon portions and boiled eggs.

Lunch Log: Week 24 Day 5

Tamagoyaki: a classic bento item, but the eggs I used look a little pale. It’s another stuff-whatever-in-sushi day!

Lunch Log: Week 24 Day 4

I have no idea how long you can keep homemade mayonnaise but it’s tasting more limey (as it should!). Yet more proof that fat/oil is the way to go to make vegetables more tasty *sigh*

Lunch Log: Week 24 Day 3

Burning sesame seeds slightly wasn’t a complete disaster: it added a little more umami into the sesame pak choi. The good old hoarding meant that I could boost the protein count with some miniburgers: so surf and turf time!

Lunch Log: Week 24 Day 2

The final chapter of the venison curry. Highly repeatable; if not for the now lack of venison in the freezer. Welp, looks like another long wait till winter for game season..

Lunch Log: Week 24 Day 1

I can’t ignore homemade mayo though with fish and last week’s radish pickles it seems like I’m tempting fate/food-poisoning gods. But it was worth it.. (Maybe)

Lunch Log: Week 23 Day 4

Mmm.. curry.. We’re still working through the venison we got ‘on the fur’, so rather than the normal ale stew the idea was that it should handle a curry treatment like lamb/goat. And I must confirm venison curry is pretty tasty – though there is a suspicious hole in the marinating batch in the fridge..

Lunch Log: Week 23 Day 3

Where’s the protein? That tiny salmon fillet?!! I’m going to complain to the chef! Oh wait… Actually the curried veg is tasting pretty good right now

Lunch Log: Week 23 Day 2

Curry, tempura, coleslaw, sushi. Another ‘interesting’ combination once again. I’m probably not cut out for food matching – well, perhaps for packed lunches anyway

Lunch Log: Week 23 Day 1

Still recovering from the beer festival but it’s such a relief to get into a homemade lunch. Expect more radishes; there’s a glut in the garden
