Again my heartfelt apologies 😆

Tai ( red snapper) and honey glazed vegetables, made with honey from my own bee hives.

I’m sick with remorse for having posted this.

Sorry, it’s just dumb old me again.

This plate of fried potatoes was tasty, so good it didn’t even need kechup.

I don’t think I’ve ever fried up a more delicious batch of fries than this. And yes I humbly apologize as this plate of fries was in fact, tastier than it looks.

Umeboshi iwashi

Salt plum sardines

Fresh cleaned sardines-
Put enough water in a pan to barely cover your iwashi.
Put in 1/3 shoyu ( cooking soy sauce) 1/3 mirrin 1/3 cooking sake
Fine slice two thumb sized chunks of peeled ginger, grab 3 to 5 salt plums.

Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer. Add iwashi neatly to pot. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar ( western Japan style optional)
High simmer for a few minutes, reduce to lowest heat. Simmer on low for 15 minutes tightly covered with foil cap. Turn off heat and let fish rest.

Here is the proper foil cap -

Do not be fooled ladies and gentlemen, these salt plums are not Firefrets’ raisin textured nuts. These are old preserved ume ( green plums) they were put up before 2012 by my wife’s mother, we are still using them. This is how food was preserved in Japan and many other countries & cultures before McDonald’s and Westinghouse refrigerators spread across the globe. Take notes now you young fellers.

When you serve a whole fish, you want to plate it as if it’s swimming in front of the eater.
This fish will open up with your eating utensils whether it’s fork or chopsticks and neatly separate from the delicate bones.

Another cuisinial movida, getting the hamburger bun on the meat patty. It doesn’t my matter with you use mayo, mustard or thousand island dressing, you’ve go to fit the bun to the patty with precision.

Beautiful color! I prefer the brown color more than the light yellow[:D]

Now that's a guitar.

I'd swerve the seafood though. I can handle a bit of battered fish, but only because I like the batter ha ha. The wife loves it, but not for me.

Wow. A Griswold Erie cast iron pan. How did that get to Japan?

I work a sourdough starter I’m the colder winter months when it makes sense to bake in my little cabin.

A few weeks ago a made two nice sourdough rosemary boules. Then I raped the tip of my left index finger with a sharp serated bread knife… Longest I hadn’t played guitar in a decade…

Enviable edibles. I writhe in shame over my mostly utilitarian eating.

Just because of the structure of the title I am reminded of this gem from an Ian Fleming novel. Tiffany Case, who is a much more interesting character in the book than the movie, says at one point in Diamonds Are Forever: "It reads better than it lives."

“I have witnessed and greatly enjoyed the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide.”

- Mark Twain in Eruption

Somedays, I crave one of those disgusting bean & cheese microwave burritos from 7-11 that I used to eat late at night when drunk after a concert.

In Japan there are equally disgusting items that I indulge in, because life isn’t meant for purity and snobbery. Bad food serves to remind us that good food is good.
