I spent a big chunk of yesterday dealing with the ripples from the Jewish Pride flag ban incident, including one guy who, if he wasn't actually a Nazi, was happy to play one on the internet for the lels. After all that, coming home to a delicious local dinner was just what I needed.
Yellow zucchini noodles topped with a mushroom medley--the bag of mixed mushrooms was cheaper than buying any individually and had both shiitake and maitake in it--and steamed asparagus, topped with chicken breast seasoned with paprika and a homemade pesto. Store-bought pine nuts, everything else from the market.
Ice cream is store-bought again, though I askedschoolpsychnerd if the farmer's market sold ice cream and she said she had checked and didn't find any. The cherries are the farmer's market catch, and the cobbler is built around them.
I originally askedschoolpsychnerd if we could have sauteed mushrooms on the side before she told me that they were already included in the meal. Maitake is about twice as expensive in America as it was in Japan, which is a problem when we developed a huge taste for it in Japan put it on everything (along with enoki, another mushroom that's too expensive for daily use here). Zucchini noodles is our go-to for "pasta" dishes now that we don't eat much pasta anymore. Tastes amazing with pesto and a good way to get more vegetables.
I'm almost done with Adventures of Lolo, and sinceschoolpsychnerd has to attend a school function tonight, I'll almost certainly finish it and have a review up later tonight (Edit: here). While I love my dozens-of-hours JRPGs, there's something to be said for a game that can be finished in three hours. My lifespan is finite but World of Warcraft is eternal, which is part of the reason I no longer play it.
