Never heard of that place... Looks pretty good, though.

Indeed. Looks delicious.



Took awhile to post but here is our traditional Norwegian christmas eve dinner.
With Juleribba(pork belly ribs skin still on) Meidisterpølse(similar to bratwurst) and ertestuing (pea stew or paste) and of course the inevitable boiled potatoes.
It was delicious. Dessert was international though.


And then the next day Japanese as a treat.

We did share.

Where's the Lutefisk?

Wow, serious eats, Evie.

My first attempt at cooking Buri Daikon (ブリ大根), adult yellowtail simmered with daikon garnished with Mitsuba and ginger, a popular winter dish.

I found a legit recipe on YouTube. My presentation, I thought, was fuggin wack but the taste was good. You live & you learn.

Trust a Finn.... Lol!

Actually my brother sent us some lutefisk as a joke. (its fish preserved in lye. )
But my husband wouldnt cook it. Said it tastes awful unless youre raised with it. He was not. And that the whole house would stink for days.

We ate a delicious veg dish tonight.

Roasted Brussells sprouts and sliced parsnips.
Simply tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper.
Turned out perfectly.

Nice did you try to cook them they way I did that one time? Blanch and then over roast? Just curious.

Didn't blanch. Just straight into the oven on 400 for a half hour or so.
Pieces were not too large. It's another friends recipe. Easy.

Nice. The higher temp & longer cooking time that you used avoids the need for blanching I guess.

I bet it was yummy.

It was. As were the Norske kjørtkaker (meatcakes) that are one of my husbands specialities.

Norwegian for "Hamburger?"

Another first try for me. Niku Jaga. A traditional Japanese dish of beef simmered with potatoes and veggies. It turned out decent but I wasn't able to find the traditional thin cut beef normally used in this dish so I substituted diced beef which is normally reserved for stews. The potoates and veggies were well flavored but the beef could have been better had I used a more expensive grade of meat. Lesson: Don't skimp like a gimp.

Beef stew by any other name.....

Yeah pretty much except it doesn't have the salt that one would find common in a Western recipe.

Next time I go to Mitsuwa I'll be able to get thinly sliced beef that is appropriate for this dish. Moreover, I'm sure the quality of the meat will be better too!
