curry hotpot & cheese noodles

somehow, J has this interesting hobby of forming faces with everything he sees.

how the kitchen cabinet has a fat face, the stove has a weird face, the wall lines has smiling faces, etc

when i laid his breakfast plate, it wasnt like this.

creamy mushroom toast with cheese, and chocolate danish. the tomato wasnt there, it was in our big salad bowl before J laid hands on it.

I was surprised to find the left over pasta white sauce from yesterday become cream cheese like thick, so i gladly spread some on the bread mixed in some mushroom stock and toasted with cheese=)

today is labour day and J has the day off work.

we were walking quite a lot at kichijoji during the day, so to fill our hungry stomachs, a big pot of vegetables in curry stock.

cabbage, carrots, lots of mushrooms and onions, plus hanpen and yuba (soy skins)

with cheese & noodles added lastly =)

the yuba was like cheese too, so the ending was super double creamy noodles ^.^

hot pot sets are very popular in japan, so basically we choose our soup stock from the variety of shoyu, clear base, curry, pork base, fish base, miso base, kimchi base etc and this brand that we both love comes with noodles which is meant for hotpots cos it is extra chewy and doesnt become soggy. and slurping hot noodles on a cold night is really comforting.

as usual, with hotpots, we finish a whol lot of vegetables at a go. 2 of us had half a head of cabbage tonight! =) recharged for the week~
