10 photos

10 photos started back in 2008 as a meme and now is my way to look back at some of the "firsts" in my kitchen...

Nitsuke, I was amazed at how easy and tasty cooking fish this way was.

It was our first time cooking with garlic scapes, it reminded me of garlicky green beans.
Ajillo was super easy to make in the fish grill.
Using the tsukemono jiru (pickle sauce) and turning it into dressing was a nice way to use everything up.
Hakusai and kaki amazu-ae was a refreshing pickle/salad.
Hiyajiru, a cold miso soup, perfect for the heat of summer.
"Sarameshi" is a show that offers a look into the bento and lives of people in Japan.

This musubi using mikan peels was different and delicious.
Daigaku imo was a nice way to save a "dry" yakiimo (roasted sweet potato).
Kinugasa donburi is a delicious (and easy) Kyoto favorite using green onion, aburaage, dashi and egg.
Saba goma was a dish we saw on our favorite show "Kodoku no Gurume", we tried this using kanpachi (amberjack) and madai  (sea bream) since we rarely see saba (mackerel) in the stores.

I think most of us spent a LOT of time in our kitchens this year, I hope you had a delicious year in your kitchen despite the pandemic.
