Katsuo-no－Tataki ＆ Carrot Leaves Kakiage

Katsuo（Bonito) is now on the season!

This is the first time for me to cook carrots leaves. Making Kakiage is the right choice. Very crispy and light taste. Just dredged them with flour and a little bit cold water. Season with salt and pepper only.　好好味:D

Sweet & Sour Pork 咕咾肉

Since I got a fresh pineapple, made sweet & sour pork.

In the sauce, besides black vinegar, sugar and soy sauce, I added ketchup and strawberry jam.

Taro likes the taste, but the pork chunk was too hard for him to chew.

Pineapples make the meat more tender. We love sweet and sour taste. :)

By the way, I had Taro's hair cut short while he was sleeping. The bangs might have got shaggy though. He is very pleased with the flower shaped hair slide. He looks like a girl! :D

Recently he has liked to sing a song. Today, he was humming the theme song of "Bananas in pyajamas". Wow!

Naples Style Pizza

Pizza Margarita

Kaori Pizza :D

Baked pizza from scratch. There're various type of pizza in the world, but my best favourite pizza is Naples style which has a chewy texture.

I thought it was hard to make it same as Naples unless I have a oven made of stones.

However, I found my oven has a pizza stone and great heat ability. It rises 340℃!!

I don't need to go out for "pizzeria"!! Yay.

This time, I baked the basic and simple pizza, "Margarita"(basil leaves, mozzarella, tomato) and pineapple and bacon pizza. The latter one, I put various ingredients on it- besides pineapple and bacons, sausage, zuccini, diced tomatoes, sliced onion and broccoli.

Taro is crazy about pizza. While the pizza were in the oven, he couldn't wait for it and got grouchy! He was lying down on the floor and crying until the pizza done.

The moreover, despite the pizza was ready, it was too hot for him to taste, so he had to wait for a several minutes. Poor Taro-san.

Taro's rate: ★★★★★

Definitely he loves it. I promise I will bake it again some time.

Carp shaped buns

May 5 is "Children's day" that we celebrate for children's health and happiness.

At first, I planned to bake some cake but recently we have been taking too much sugar so that baked bread instead. Am not sure why we raise "Koinobori" which is carp shaped flag, but carps are symbol of the day.

Though we don't have any carp flags, I baked carp shaped buns. :D Put corn, tuna and mayonnaise.

As Jun said, this is "Mambo" not "carp at all. Mambo buns? Carp buns?

Never mind! The taste is important not the appearance.

Taro's rate: ★★★★

Corns might irritate him. He tries to get rid of it when eats.

Drizzle "Ponzu" over it.

He was so exhausted that he fell asleep at 4 o'clock and didn't wake up until the next morning.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Got a sandwich toaster as same as the one my mother used to have. Though there're various type of sandwich toaster, I am 100% sure that this is the best toaster ever!

Today, I chose avocado, tuna and cheese for the filling. They're Taro's favourites.

Of course, he ate up one piece of sandwich.

Grilled sandwich matches "MILO" very much. Try it! :D
