okaimono!

this week, i only had to make three bento. yay for labor day and the skool serving lunch on friday! funny thing about labor day. we went to eat at this restaurant, and they had a sign that said if you were going into labor soon (if you were pregnant), they would give you a free dinner on labor day.

so, here's my shopping list for this week:
6oz mushrooms (enoki, shimeiji, shiitake)
1 large carrot
two bunches baby bok choy
1 pkg puchi tomato
1 small yukon gold potato
1 small onion
6 country style ribs (no bone)
0.25lbs thinly sliced beef
1 pkg long rice noodles

i have a bunch of items in stock, so i'll just assume all of you have those in stock too. here is a semi-complete list of other things i used this week since i can't remember all the ingredients: shoyu, sake, mirin, dashi, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onions, cheese, kewpie mayo, rice, gyoza, gyoza sauce, eggs, shrimp, broccoli, etc.

I likes how you are assuming we have the same items in-stock as you.... Kewpie mayo... hahahaha.

you donuts have kewpie mayo in your fridge?! what do you put on your shredded cabbage?! hmmm, maybe bull dog sauce? but tis not star shaped!

bull dog sauce, or Aunty Joan's special dressing...

mix to taste:
shoyu
Best Foods Real Mayo (not know spelling)
milk

consistency should be thinner than yogurt but thicker than milk.
drizzle on shredded cabbage of choice - we like napa (sometimes called "curly")
