I Am... Birthday Steak Frites: Bone-in Rib Eye with Curry Sauce and Curly Fries

December 9, 2016 • 23 comments • Posted in:

Mike and I been gently settling into our life here in Tokyo. We're spending the days wandering and eating, going to the awesome 100 yen stores – like a dollar store, but better – and generally having a blast. The other day I did laundry for the first time before we went out on an epic walk. Halfway through, after pausing by a flower store to squee over the cuteness, I gasped.

I Am... Mini Creamy Chicken Noodle Bread Bowls

It's soup season! Mike and I are eating every bowl of ramen we come across and we're still not ramen-ed out because how could anyone get tired of carbs and soup? Speaking of carbs and soup, I made this gem before we left: creamy chicken noodle soup in baby bread bowls.

I Am... Thanksgiving Croquettes

I love leftovers because you can eat in basically the amount of time it takes to heat them up. To me, that's magic! But, as much as I love eating leftovers as is, I am absolutely fanatical about making leftovers into new dishes, like these Thanksgiving croquettes.

Happy Black Friday Friends! Mike and I are in Japan, traveling around the South so we're missing out on all the Black Friday sales, but I'm not complaining because Japan is my jam and I am in heaven, eating ALL the things. We're going to be here for a while and I could not be more excited. I just love Christmas in Japan. There are countless illuminations, Christmas music everywhere, and festive foods. I am crazy excited. If you guys have any must sees/must eats, please let me know! And thank you, thank you for all your sweet comments on my last post! It warms my heart :) I'm going to reply to everyone, soon!

I Am... Challah Tipsy Cake

This Tipsy Cake is based off of a very famous tipsy cake served at one of my favorite London eateries: Dinner by Heston Blumenthal. Mike and I first had lunch at Dinner five(!?!) years ago. We were both slightly obsessed with him, having had some of our first dates in watching his BBC series, In Search of Perfection.

I Am... Classic Yorkshire Puddings

Mike and I have a spare room that we originally intended as an office. There's a row of extremely tall shelves and a wall to wall built in desk. It's pretty nice but we never use it because we like hanging out at our giant kitchen table when we work. So, sadly, the "office" has turned into a spare room where we banish all the things that we want to keep out of sight.

I Am... Crispy Duck Fat Oven Roasted Potatoes

I love potatoes. So much so that sometimes I eat so many that I think I'm going to become one: soft and squishy. I don't really know anyone who doesn't like potatoes, at least in some form or other. And that's the beauty of potatoes, they can be made so many different ways!

I Am... Lemon & Dill Pan Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Mike and I went to watch Arrival the other day. Have you guys seen/heard of it? It's based on a short story and while I really enjoyed it, Mike was a little more, meh. The basic premise, without giving anything away, is that aliens arrive on earth and a linguist needs to figure out how to communicate with them and why they've come to earth. It fits right into my obsession with post apocalyptic/sci-fi type things.
