Four Old Meals

So, I seem to have missed four awesome meals.
Here they are:

First, we have Steak with Spagetti in Pesto Sauce.
Next, we have home made Lo Mein.
Next is Sesame Beef over Rice with Dim Sims.
Lastly, is Ham Steak with Cheesy Potatos and Broccoli.

All of them were fabulous meals and I regret not giving earth one its own page.
I'll do better next time.

Steak in Roasted Sesame Seed Marinade

So, yesterday was Valentine's Day. I decided to play the good boyfriend and make my girlfriend dinner. What I made is called "Steak in Roasted sesame Seed Marinade." It is a Japanese meal that takes a while to make (about two to three hours). It is well worth it though! It included a few ingredients that can ONLY be found (or even mentioned) in a Asian marketplace. One I found, called shichimi togarashi [wikipedia.org] (I made the page!), is a mild red pepper spice with a little orange flavor. Another is dashi, or basic Japanese stock (like beef stock, only made from kelp and fish), which I was unable to find (easily) so I used beef Boolean instead. The last truly Japanese ingredient was sake (pronounced sa-kay, as I found), the Japanese equivalent of booze. It's similar to American liquor (or wine, but made from rice, not grapes). I bought a small bottle of it and still have some left. The meal included rice and broccoli
For desert, my girlfriend and I made mango ice cream. I made a mistake and mixed the ingredients before whipping the cream, but it still turned out good. Next time I make ice cream, I'm going to make whipped cream to go with it.
