01/03/2015: Temaki sushi Today I almost died of happiness when I walked in to the kitchen and saw the most colourful display of food. "Te" means "hand" and "maki" is another word for sushi so Temaki is basically DIY sushi. The table was laid with bowls of sushi rice, a huge plate of assorted sashimi … Continue reading Lizi in Japan – week 2

Mark home alone again – week 2
01/03/15: Nikujaga http://norecipes.com/recipe/nikujaga-recipe/ I found a recipe online to match Lizi's home cooked Nikujaga meal from last week. I used Irish beef strips for the meat, which were really easy to fry and stayed nice and tender. Couldn't go wrong with the flavours involved, and particularly enjoyed mixing my side of rice with the left … Continue reading Mark home alone again – week 2
Mark home alone again – week 1
Lizi was off to Japan and I was again left to fend for myself for the next two weeks 😛 We were going to attempt the same system as last time, where I would try to copy what Lizi was eating but on a delay. This ended up being a bit more of a challenge as … Continue reading Mark home alone again – week 1
Lizi in Japan – week 1
So at the end of February week I flew to Japan to stay with my Japanese friend and her family. I had such a fantastic time and learned loads more about Japanese family life, culture and of course FOOD. I want to introduce you to the Japanese concept of "おふくろの味 (ofukura no aji)" or "mother's taste" as … Continue reading Lizi in Japan – week 1

15/02/15: BBQ chicken with beans – Reader's Digest's Healthy One-Dish Cooking http://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-One-Dish-Cooking-All-One/dp/027644406X This was really tasty and a great throw-it-all-in-the-pot meal, but it was definitely a different version of BBQ. The chicken turned out beautifully tender though. 16/02/15: Quinoa, carrot, and leek patties – Eat Well 101 blog http://www.eatwell101.com/quinoa-and-leek-patties-recipe Lizi – O.M.G. what a disaster! Totally … Continue reading 50 Days!

It was only when we were chatting with some friends yesterday that we realised this delay in posting may actually make you guys think we'd given up - but … Continue reading Long time no post!!
TOUCHDOWN!
01/02/2015: Hot dogs with onions, American mustard and tomato sauce - own recipe SUPERBOWL! Every year Mark and I stay up and watch the superbowl and eat hotdogs, nachos and whatever other American food we can find or make. This time I also made a jalapeño popper mac and cheese to have alongside our hotdogs and … Continue reading TOUCHDOWN!
1 Month. Done.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin - NEW! We've successfully eaten a different meal every day for a month! We've had a couple of ah-crap-what-are-we-going-to-eat days where we've pulled something together at the last possible minute but those days were bound to happen I guess and we're back on track and starting to feel like this is all … Continue reading 1 Month. Done.
L.A. BABY!
I’m back from LA and I must say I have very mixed feelings. It’s always nice to get back to home comforts, but I’m definitely already missing Californian weather! I spent a lovely couple of days sunning myself in Santa Monica before heading up to Thousand Oaks for 4 days of meetings. Here’s what I … Continue reading L.A. BABY!
While the cat’s away… Mark’s week home alone
Mark I was left to my own devices this week while Lizi was in LA. Meal selection was going to be tricky as we both didn’t want to use up meals that the other would want to eat, so we came up with an elaborate plan! I would attempt to cook Lizi’s dinners on a one … Continue reading While the cat’s away… Mark’s week home alone
