Breakfast


Konbanwa!

Today was Sunday, even though every day feels pretty much the same lately, all day!

And on Sundays, I try to cook some decent breakfast which I've been kinda failed past few Sundays.

I mean.... what is the difference between Sundays and any other day of the week now??


But, I do, and Cadet (my son) and Marine (my husband) DO love breakfast so I put myself together this morning to fix us some good breakfast.

Wait.  No. I take some of that back.  I mean, everything I said about how much we love breakfast is true and I did cook breakfast this morning but......

I just realized that, I cooked this hashed brown yesterday. OMG

I totally got it mixed up. lol

Anyway, I DID cooked breakfast this morning,
Bacon, egg with spinach, spam and left over hash brown, which I believe people call it "Crack potato" or something like that.

Anyway, this potato dish is very easy and yummy, and actually, Cadet brought me the recipe one day. lol

Cadet and his friends like to take lunch to school sometimes, even though they hav e school lunch, and one day, one of his friends brought this potato and meatball. Cadet said, they shared each other's lunch, yes it was way before all of this COVID-19 pandemics, and everybody loved his lunch and asked him for the recipes.   And within a couple of days, his Mom made a copy of the recipes and gave it to all the friends what they asked for.

WHO DOES THAT?????

I mean, OMG he's got a very nice Mom!!!
I have no idea who the boy or his mom is, but I love both of them.
In the world that gives you a doubt about humanity every day, knowing there are nice and sweet mom and son exist gives me a hope.

Oops. I'm far from the subject, as usual, I was talking about this potato dish. lol

Originally, the recipe has a packet of ranch dressing to add but I only use half of it, if that.
Because I like to add some salt to my dish and to avoid turning my dish too salty, I just use less seasoning than it is instructed.   Plus, I always add garlic. Oh, I love garlic. Garlic makes almost everything taste better!!

So dried hashed potato, half the packet of ranch dressing, pinch of salt, some garlic powder, onion powder and shredded cheese (I prefer cheddar).

Mix them all, put it in baking dish, then top it with more shredded cheese and bacon bits then bake for 35 mins at 400F.  When it's done, I add some dried parsley or chopped green onions. These are totally optional but adding some color makes a dish look much better.

EASY, right??

In original recipe, it says to use frozen hushed brown but I always have dried one so I follow the direction to prepare it before adding anything else.

Also, salt, garlic and onion powder are not in original recipe that I was given.
I don't think there was bacon bits on top of it either but my Marine and Cadet believe bacon makes everything better, so why not??

Anyway, I try to feed them as much as vegetable so I cooked spinach to eggs but yet, I added spam, lol

If you don't know about Okinawa, it probably sounds funny but Spam is like one of the soul food to us. We grow up eating it with almost everything like....Saute with vegetables, in Miso soup, curry, just fry it with eggs oe sometimes in sandwiches.  So I know it is not a best meat products, but I keep them in house all the time and serve it every now and then.
 
So that's how our breakfast was this morning, with freshly brewed coffee.

I hope everybody had a great Sunday.

Stay safe, stay inside as much as possible!

Egg sandwich

Konbanwa! Today, I made some goooood egg sandwich. I haven't found these at store since I moved here but if you have been to Japan, you see these at almost any store that sells food. They are typically good but especially the ones from convenience stores are REALLY good. In Okinawa, until 2016, there were 3 main convenience stores. Family Mart, Lawson and HOT SPAR. They each had/has their good point and people usually have their favorite convenience store. Anyway, my favorite convenience store for sandwiches was always Lawson. To me, overall their food quality was the best out of 3 convenience stores. I've been craving for these sandwiches but I haven't been back since I left in 2016, plus, my plan to go back in May was obviously ruined due to this pandemic. The other day, when I was going through my Facebook, I found this recipe named "Best egg sandwich" if I remember correctly. My must items for the morning At this point, I am not s...

Sweet chili meatballs and potato gratin

 Konbanwa!    So I decided to finally cook potato gratin. I've been meaning to cook it for looooooooong time but...... sometimes, it just takes me long time to do what I want to do. Why? That's a one good question that I don't have answer to. I sometimes have conversation with myself, in my head about it but I never got to conclusion. One thing I know is that.....when I actually get to it, when I'm thinking about it, it feels good. Mumm.... seems like I have some deeper issue but, that's not what I meant to talk about today. lol Yesterday afternoon, what I decided to cook first was the sweet meatballs. I am not sure what is the actual name of this dish.   And as I usually do with any recipes...... I modified it a little. It is very easy and simple recipe that had 3 ingredient which include meatball. Ingredients are; * Frozen meatballs 1LB *Grape jam 30ml *Hot chill sauce 20ml What you do is; *Throw frozen meat balls in the slow cook...

No in-person interaction

Assignment from Japanese Saturday School  Konnichiwa!' Today, I would like to talk about yesterday. No, nothing special happened, it was just the another day of quarantine. But night before, we received a call from County school system to announce that we are following Common Wealth's approach and keep schools closed for the rest of school year. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!! I mean.......I have no problem following orders. I even appreciate for Governor to make quick decision of "Stay Home Healthy". I do not want to send Cadet to school during this pandemic. And I actually like staying home without obligation to make an excuse. But, As I believe a lots of Parents are feeling the same way, I had enough of my child.     LOL Also, my child comes with all kinds of assignment.ugh He is usually on my computer all day because he receives different assignment from his teachers. (Today, I took it from him and sent him to room to practice his clarinet)...
