Life In Da Burbs

Got up early today and made some breakfast for J and I. Vegetable Medley, Black Olives, Soft Omelette, Sausages.

Dinner tonight. I had ordered a fresh roaster from FreshDirect the other day so I decided to roast it tonight with some red potatoes and cauliflower. J and I loved it. Quite Provencal don't you think? You can bet I'm gonna make stock out of the bones.

This could be my best batch ever. I experimented with a few new ingredients today and it came out even better than before. I'm extremely happy to discover this new "kakushi aji" (hidden flavor) that really gives a better balanced flavor. It's more complete. Hope the wife enjoys it as much as I do.

I'm on this sweet tooth kick right now. My folks just came to visit from Taiwan this past week and brought back some goodies from Asia. Here is a Yoku Moku set from Japan. This would make any Frenchie envious for sure. It's not just a "butter cookie" but an elegant balance of almonds, chocolate and cookie. Man, is this good. Yoku Moku is mostly famous for their Butter Cookie "Cigares" though. 超おいしいいいいいいいい！

I'm not sure if I've ever shared this bit of information. But one of my favorite Japanese treats is Hiyoko. This is a sweet white bean paste filled pastry packaged in the shape of a little chick. Hiyoko translates to Chick in Japanese.
