onigiri disaster

First attempt at onigiri. It did not go well. I think futzing with the little molds may be more trouble than just hand-forming imperfect triangles.

Two types of fillin’ made from leftovers, some had chicken tikka, some had vegetable stir-fry. We wrapped the majority of the onigiri to have with leftover curry later.

My beverage today was excellent though. Sparkling raspberry limeade.

the littlest steaks

Tiny filets, a tiny baked potato, steamed broccolini, red wine gravy, and garlic-basil butter.

Overall? Solid B+!

Meat was good, sauce was excellent, broccolini was not overly al dente.

The potato was a tad overcooked, and the butter had too much garlic (still enjoyable though.)

It was also nice to borrow my parents’ ingredients, kitchen, and dishware.

I did want to slice more bread to sop up the sauce, but this was already an extremely indulgent lunch.

Omelette mastery is… not even close.

Store bought sweets ~as a treat.
