2021 Year in Review: Before the Blog

I wanted to do a "1 thing I ate every month" retrospective but I take so many pictures and eat so many foods it was taking way too long to pick and after April most of the foods I have pics of are already on here anyway. So here are some highlights from before I started the blog.

Eel fried rice

Made this with some eel that Janty got at Hmart and then never cooked. We tried eating it by itself but it was super boney so I turned it into fried rice and it was so good.

---

Soba and Short Ribs

Ate this the day after the fried rice. Great week for me. It's soba with short ribs that I think I cooked slow in shoyu, sugar, tsuyu...? I remember that I put too much tsuyu in the broth but don't remember all the details. Served with pickled ginger and green onion after Janty woke up from a nap.

---

Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

From when Janty first got a Costco membership and we bought a ton of croissants. I ate these for like 2 weeks.

---

Nando's Halloumi Salad

Got this on my way home from the doctor. I was originally only going to include foods I cooked myself but this was a salad I thought about a lot throughout the year even though I only actually ate it once so I felt its impact was enough to make the cut.

---

Crispy Fried Egg

This was a big year for fried eggs in my life. Had to include this especially good-looking one.

Ok that was all up to April when I started the blog! Happy New Year! Making this made me miss my old apartment. Next time I have to choose a place to live I will prioritize good food lighting.
