What's for Dinner, Mon., Dec. 30, 2024

The sushi place was by my appointments for the day, so I bought Spicy Crab on Inari on the way home. For those not familiar with it, the menu described it: Seasoned Fried Bean Curd, Rice Seasoning, Spicy Crab, Sushi Rice, and Black Sesame Seeds.

I've had it several times before; always enjoyed it. This pic is from the restaurant:



Making my own Asian cucumbers tonight with mirin and chives from the garden.

Hot ginger tea.

Kombucha will be blackberry-pear.

Dessert: might have a little slice of lemon ginger cheesecake but probably not. Already tired of desserts and the holiday isn't even over.
