It was ‘somebody’s’ birthday so we went back to the wonderful Hachi. The binchotan grill really gives everything a fabulous aroma. We got the same salmon sushi, takoyaki balls, eggplant, and shishito peppers. We tried a few more things from the grill. I really need to find some of this charcoal for my grill.
Tamago: Thin layers of egg/fish broth with grated radish. Sounds weird but it’s good.Shrimp: with a tartar sauce glaze. Next time order moreGrilled Scallops: Get a lot more of these too next time.Tomato: wrapped in a very thin bacon. Get more of these too next timeCorn: grilled with butter. YumTakoyaki: Such a photogenic dish. Nice and crispyShishito peppers: Those blackened ones are the best
Mavis is a dear neighbor put on an Indian cooking zoom class today. She lives a few blocks away and we have gone out to various Indian Restaurants in the area pre-pandemic. She has her own cookbook and everything. Today she taught a couple dozen attendees how to make 4 wonderful dishes. I am always amazed at what Indians can do with simple ingredients and spices.
– Dal: Lentils with squash and leeks
– Aloo Gobi: Potatoes and cauliflower
– Lemon Rice: Aromatic rice
– Patriani Maci: Salmon baked with Chutney
Cooking with Friends: Mavis RanganMavis in action. Teaching over zoom is SO MUCH HARDER than teaching in real life. She and her daughter kept the dialog going the whole time.Rice and Beans: The house smells so good with these twoAloo Gobi and Fish: Next time swap out the potatoes for squash and peas. Glad we have left over chutney for more fish.Finished product: Could eat this every day
