unfortunately i forgot to take pictures of the food >_< but it was quite tasty. the pasta fresca recipe was of my own creation, inspired by a farfalle dish that my mother would often make (made with sirloin instead of sauteed veggies). i didn't make the salad, nor did i buy the bread, but that's the beauty of a dinner party!
the day after, i made a big pot of japanese style curry for myself. luckily i documented this meal!
i began by sauteing some yellow onion, potato chunks, and mushrooms. once browned, i added water to finish cooking everything all the way through. a few minutes before everything got to the desired level of doneness, i added a brick of soft tofu (cubed of course). i then added my seasonings, turned off the heat, and mixed until it looked like this:
i then poured it over a bowl of my yummy rice.
and here's the final product:
it was super delicious!
and last night, i experimented a bit. i had been wanting to find a way to use all these extra ramen seasoning packets i've been collecting. then i thought, "ramen seasoned potatoes—why not?" so i boiled a potato, drained it, pan fried it, added a ramen packet and some water, reduced it, and voila! zesty soy saucy potatoes.
it went quite well with rice and kimchi. but sadly, no pictures for this one (-_-)
see ya next time!

So hungry.
Ahhh! I love curry. My preference is for beef when I make it, but tofu would take on the flavor of the mix really nicely. That, and I've discovered that I LOVE it over Jasmine rice rather than sticky rice.
Either way, that looked like an amazing pot of curry :]
@Gwennifer jasmine is tasty—i won't deny it. but high quality short grain white rice really is tippy top for me.
@Lisa what should we do about your hunger? i'd love to send you some curry, but i'm not sure the best way to ship it across state lines...
i put your mom's farfalle recipe in my cookbook. i labelled it "The Hobo's Favorite Pasta Dish". It's a big hit with my daughter.
