Crab Sandwich

A lady who is really really good at cooking kindly gave me a loaf that she made!

The loaf looked beautiful, so I wanted to try to make something tasty and cool with that. What I tried is  Crab Sandwich. Using can crab meat, it was really delicious. :)   Ingredient is easy. just mix drained can crab meat, chopped onion, Mayo, lemon juice, black pepper, and dill. You can adjust the taste using lemon juice.

Appreciate her so much! And her blog is here.

KONPEITO

These tiny star-like shaped sweet is KONPEITO that my mother in low sended to us from Japan.
It's Japanese traditional sweet, and, hard, sweety, made from sugar.
I found out that some web sits told that the word "KONPEITO" came from Portuguese word "Confeito" (means sweets made from sugar), and it came to Japan with Portuguese missionaries at the 16th century...That's new and interesting to me, too(@_@)!

Happy Tiger Year!

Curry UDON

After eating whole pot of Curry, there still is something joyful.
Curry UDON!
This is easy, just make UDON with the pot of Curry after eating most of them.
(Maybe inside the pot, a little amount of curry is there...you cannot trash it away, but it's not enough for serving as Curry and rice...)
If you make curry and rice, and haven't tried Curry UDON yet, try this! :)
