Michinoku

Yesterday, R went golfing with his buddies so I decided on an egg for my lunch.

I had bought an hourglass egg timer (3 minutes)  and am still getting used to it.
Cover the egg with cold water in a pot and bring to a roiling boil, cover, and remove from heat and leave until desired hardness.
This time I tried 4 minutes.  With a 3 minute timer I had to watch the clock to add the extra minute.
A lightly firm soft boiled egg (?)  that was nice with toast, butter and apricot marmalade, and sautéed kale from Janie's garden.

Today was our monthly
luncheon at Michinoku,
with M and P and
grandma.

We've been coming to Michinoku
since it was still located on
Kalakaua Ave. where restaurant
Do-ne is now.
The sign is announcing the availability of Hamachi Kama, grilled with salt.

Three of us had the Hamachi kama,
(Hamachi cheeks), which is  so tender it 's almost fluffy.
It is a generous cut and served very hot. 

M had her usual Maguro Natto don.  
Diced maguro mixed with natto and nori ,  ginger,  egg, and julienned
daiko radish.

Grandma had her favorite
grilled salmon.

 

She and I (and Liz) like to put tea over the rice in our bowl when there is little left and enjoy it with the tsukemono (salted cabbage and cucumbers today).    We do this only at Michinoku because we feel so at home here.

R's mom.  Not bad for 97.
