Home Again

My brother is in town so I went home last weekend for a night to hang out with the fam. My mom prepared a typical meal but with the extra addition of corn. My mom calls my brother her “corn buddy” because he’s the only one in our family, besides my mom, who likes corn. He eats it as a snack and sometimes for dessert! (I know, I’m wondering how we’re related, too)

The fabulous cook!

The main feature was potato croquette with shredded cabbage.

I can never eat potato croquette at restaurants because they always add…you guessed it…corn. Now, don’t get me wrong, I like corn and will eat it on occasion (especially with Mexican food) but there is a time and place. And in a potato croquette is not one of them. Nor as a snack or dessert

I brought home some shishito from the farmer’s market. I like it because it’s occasionally spicy and because my nickname is in the name. Naturally.

Just blister it in a pan and add course salt. My mom also put some soy sauce on top.

These were REALLY spicy. I love spice but this hotness permeated my whole mouth and stayed on my tongue for at least 10 minutes afterwards. I brought some shishito home a few weeks ago and none were spicy and they were from the same farm.

For dessert, my dad bought cakes from a Japanese bakery.

Don’t you love it when things are labeled??

Guess which one of the six I ate!
