I'm
recovering from my recent double-match with the
cold, so now I'm doing some decent cooking. Here's some
grilled
chicken, which I cooked wrapped
in tinfoil. That keeps it juicy and tender, but it almost
eliminates the grill marks. It's served on mustard greens ohitashi,
which is basically mustard greens rolled into cigars
and sliced into maki-sized cylinders. To the side is
a little container of mayonnaise because that's how
I eat my greens, especially mustard greens, which taste
like a condiment that I don't keep in my kitchen. Then
there are some simmered
shiitake mushrooms and lavender rice,
the latter of which is made with water left over from
my recent purple
sweet potato pie. (It's made with water reserved
from the potato-boiling stage, and thus tastes slightly
sweet.) Finally, I have some orange segments, grapes, and pomegranate seeds.
My, it feels nice to once more have the energy to
do real cooking!
Wanna talk
about it?
