Week 22

I'm writing this now as we're leaving for Kaitaia this evening!! Woohoo up north again :D Where the sun shines and the beach is always near. ^^

Saturday
Tempura (of onion, kumara and salmon - should’ve done salmon differently, really) and home-made sashimi (salmon), with soy dipping sauce (combination of soy sauce & mirin and some other things), pickled ginger, wasabi and some Japanese mayonnaise. Also, an iceberg-cucumber mini salad with sesame and soy dressing.

Also made the cured salmon! (See other log)

Sunday
A Turkish pide (panino-like bread) filled with: garlic butter (garlic paste & melted Danish butter), omelette with feta, mustard, fresh avocado and tomato, some fancy lettuce. YUM! The bread was amazing (from the Fish Market).

Monday
Thai chicken lab/larb (with chicken thigh meat again), with Jasmin rice and som tum-style (spicy & sour-ish) cucumber salad with peanuts.

Tuesday
We made falafel and hummus with a 2.55kg tin of chickpeas ($5.50) we bought, which took a lot of time but was pretty nice. Ate the falafel patties with some corn wraps, and hummus (+ ketchup, Calve garlic sauce, Kaitaia fire), fresh tomato and iceberg lettuce. So good. <3

Wednesday
We had devilled sausages (I altered the recipe a bit though)(of course ;)), made with chorizo sausages, onion & apple, served with potato mash, and a small mesclun salad (with cider vinaigrette).

Thursday
Had left-over falafel, hummus, salad, tomato, bell pepper and a garlic pita bread. YUM.

Friday
Pumpkin soup with home-made chicken broth. (After this please no more pumpkin for a while!! We’ve been going a bit crazy with pumpkin this winter). The home-made chicken broth definitely added flavour to it though.



Mjaaaaaaaaaam falafel. ^^
