In Japan, we invent things, such as dishes that have nothing to do with what the name entails...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of those would be Neapolitan spaghetti.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been told that in Nagoya, they serve this at cafes on cast-iron pans with egg beneath the spaghetti.</div>

Apparently you eat the spaghetti with the half done egg, so I tried this at my friend's place the other day, where I learned A.it needs to be served with the egg half done, B.it doesn't need too much spaghetti, C.always test before declaring you can cook at someone's dinner party....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The result of my culinary experiment, is as below↓↓</div>

Our friend who is the head chef at one of the best macrobiotics restaurant in NY called Soen, is a genius!! He ordered fish from the market days in advance, sliced the fish in sashimi (we ate it both as sashimi and shabushabu and ahhhh was it good!!) placed on konbu to add flavor. Hirame (fluke) is usually a very plain fish, but with the care and cure that the chef put into it, its flavorful like no fish you've ever had! perfect for shabushabu by just very briefly dipping in hot water, so you can enjoy the half boiled part and the raw part, is amazing!!! All vegetables were very well thought through and delicious in a way unexpectedly good, baby cabbages instead of hakusai cabbage, the mountain of mushrooms that would make a mushroom farm jealous! At the end of the journey, the chef marinated the fluke with the mix I brought for my pickled eggs (soy sauce, mentsuyu, mirin) along with my other marinated celery (lemon, sesame oil, white wine vinaigrette, honey, lots of salt and pepper) and added togarashi pepper and lots of good yuzu pepper, AND MADE OCHAZUKE!!!! Oh boy was that good!!! My friend aptly puts the sum of the dinner in his email to me; <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">if there was a restaurant that only served that - I would go once a week during winter! Plus that was probably one of the best Ochazuke I've ever had." Cannot agree more!!</span><br />

so there was SANDY! phew! lost public transportation access, electricity, hot water, tireeed, BUT now all solved!! well not all but close to it, and my heart goes out to those who still dont have access to the necessary things that take you through this cold weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's actually really cold! all of a sudden. must be the day light saving time change thing that happened as well, just really chilly and im not ashamed to pull out my puffy down jacket (which i initially pulled out since I was walking across brooklyn bridge...its windy up there!!). Because of the cold, I made Tonjiru! I know im not the only one since I met a friend earlier today at a japanese super market buying the exact same ingredients to make the exact same thing (great minds think alike- or all japanese ppl think alike!).</div>

got Goto udon noodles from someone who went back to Japan, and added beansprout marinated in garlic and sesame oil &sesame with raw egg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thats all I did, but it was unpredictably extremely good!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
raw egg in itself kind of becomes a sauce that enhances other flavors in a rich creamy way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so easy, SO good!</div>

today started bright and warm, but then took a quick turn and became rather cold and chilly...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hence! chicken cream stew!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i made a mountain of it, but noticed how my boyfriend dislikes carrots so picked out all of them and ate it myself... it's good, but not that great when you eat a bag full of baby carrots stewed at once!</div>

this, I think is pretty genius!!!</div>

I'm sure i've seen it on cookpad before, but just recently was reminded of it by a very outdoorsy friend who told me how cheese fondue is best to do outdoors cus the smell wont stick to your kitchen walls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is extremely easy; carve off the top of brie cheese, place on aluminum foil and put it on BBQ grill till the cheese melts!! eaaasy peeesy :)</div>

summer rolls that my friend brought over the other day. He has this extreme fear of becoming hungry, so always walks around with extra food- but he is one of the skinniest people alive. This day, he wasnt hungry and left this at my place, so lucky me, I got to take it to work for lunch! and it was great!</div>

to be specific it's post birthday but in my mind its going to be my BD for the entire month!<br />anyways, this risotto is a creature of beauty! labor of love! whatever you want to call it, ITS FREAKIN GOOD!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the soup was a gift from my friend Yuji who is the force behind the amazing Yuji ramen (god please can he just start his own restaurant asap!!) who made it as a result of intense three hour stewing of veggies and red octopus and pork..... the soup itself is to die for!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the gelatin in it becomes this gorgeous golden pink that frizzles once refrigerated. I just added cream and rice and its as good as what angels eat in heaven (my version of heaven at least). </div>

i made this <a href="http://cookpad.com/recipe/1011372">spaghetti </a>with natto and egg yolk mixed with salty combu that i found on cookpad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a great thing! but I just hated how i would waste the egg white, so i made egg white miso soup to accompany the spaghetti, utilizing the entire egg and taking in lots of soy beans!!</div>

The recipe itself is simple, a sesame dip for somen, along with okura (shaped as ☆ when sliced) and tenkasu (Ten means heaven) for added taste of course but the pun is how they go along with the<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata"> Tanabata </a>theme.</div>

today's aji soba; kake soba!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of dipping in cold soup, I poured hot soup over it making the aji soba a soba noodle soup dish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe better cold...I could have used some chicken as well.</div>

Wanted to eat everything but ended up eating 2 Ramens that I absolutely wanted to try!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oTiIQupyoSc/T9Ty-cQ70eI/AAAAAAAADX0/v2NTTEw4mr0/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oTiIQupyoSc/T9Ty-cQ70eI/AAAAAAAADX0/v2NTTEw4mr0/s320/photo+1.JPG" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
first up, Yuji ramen's cold mazemen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They run their ramen business in Kinfolk bar, which i like but I never had a chance to eat the ramen so I'm thrilled to have the chance to tell myself; I had it! and it was good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this was a chilled thick ramen noodle with tomato and clam sauce, adding a very pasta-ish flair to the whole thing.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then Ebisu ramen! They havent started their shop yet, which will open fairly soon I think, next to Chai in Williamsburg. Their noodle was a chinese type warm noodle with chashu and fried garlic chips. Yum!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Must go back to try more of the other stands I missed on this occasion :D</div>

sometimes the food coop is great when i actually come across a time that the line is reasonable and I can feel like actually buying things there (yes its that bad).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a sunday afternoon shift, and when my shift is done, the line is a good half hour long even for the express lane, so I work the food coop shift and leave to buy things at keyfoods!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last Saturday, I got lucky; I got up early on a weekend! 7AM! and had the guts to actually go to the food coop to buy things. My prized purchase of the day; veggies :D</div>
