Today's Lunch / 今日のランチ

6-10-08

Since I made smoked salmon sandwitch with cream cheese on this Monday for lunch, I had some smoked salmon left over. I knew I am not going to use smoked salmon all by myself in this few days, I decided to make
"Smoked Salmon and Asparagas Spaghetti with White Cream Sauce".

(sorry I took some pics tonight but because of the lighting, it didn't come out good so I borrowed a pic from the Cookpad website...)

I am kinda proud of myself this time because.... I made the white sauce from scratch!! YES!! :) It's not too easy to make white sauce as WHITE!
Because of the butter, it's easy to burn it and make it yellow or brown... I have tried to make white sauce before and I'd never made it except this time. hehe.


今日はみどりとまゆみんとオーガニック系レストラン「いなか」on La Brea Ave(ここのレストラン、超おすすめ！何てったって健康に良いメニューばかりだから！！）にてディナーを楽しみました。（みどりー、写真送って〜）その後ぺちゃくちゃ楽しい話で盛り上がりながら別れた後、明日のランチを作るために速攻帰宅。

前回、スモークサーモンとクリームチーズのサンドイッチを作った時にスモークサーモンが余ったため、今回のランチはあやちゃんにはリピートで申し訳ないなーと思いつつ、スモークサーモンとアスパラのクリームパスタを作ることにしましたー。ヘルパーはもちろんCookpad. (今回も写真を撮ったんだけどどうしてもオレンジが抜けず、、、すいません、写真お借りしますー）

でも今回自分で「おーーー！」と感激してしまったのはクリームソースを自分で作ったこと！しかもちゃんときれいに白くなった！！！写真みてみてーー。

ふふふ〜〜ん。これはちょっと嬉しかった！でも喜びを分かち合う者が誰もおらず．．．。うちのねこちん達に一応伝えましたが、もちろん、しら〜んふり．．．。泣 （これまた写真の色あんまよくないのー）

味もなかなかいいじゃ〜〜ん！ということで明日のランチ、楽しみです♪
