Japanese Snacks/What We're Eating in Hilo, HI - 3/22 - 3/28

One of our neighbors brought over these Japanese snacks.  We can figure out what some of them are, but we have had fun experimenting with the "mystery" packets.  I really like the little sesame cookies.  The middle ones are biscotti, and there are a couple of truffles in there.  Nothing is overly sweet, which I appreciate.

I need to do a big grocery-store run, today.  We're out of so many things.  Let's map this week out:
Sunday:  I watched this youtube video the other day and now I really want to make this Spanish tortilla.  I have made them before, with a more complicated recipe.  The tricky part is when you put a plate over the pan, then flip the whole thing.  That usually stresses me out.   I plan to add about a third cup of chopped artichoke hearts and some sliced ham to the tortilla.  Fresh French green beans will round this out. 
Monday:  The new KTA ad featured a recipe for Vietnamese-Style Pork Pattie Pita Sandwiches.  Nice alliteration, KTA!  I am, however, going to switch this up a little.  Not being a big pita fan (mine always just fall apart), I will serve over Asian-style noodles.
Tuesday:  Breakfast as Dinner.  This will mean Sausages (Mozzarella-Artichoke), Shredded Hash Browns, a Fried Egg and Sliced Tomatoes.  
Wednesday:  Fresh Mahi-Mahi with Parsley Butter, Rice, Kabocha Squash and Peas.
Thursday:  Chicken Drumsticks, Home-Made Macaroni and Cheese, and Spinach.
Friday:   Oven Fajitas, which I found on Pinterest. The leftovers will be good in scrambled eggs, for breakfast.
Saturday:  Also via Pinterest, this Spaghetti Squash Carbonara. Wow!  This will just need a salad and French Bread.


Off to the Woodturner's show at the Wailoa Art Center.  Mr. L has promised, also, to take me to lunch.  Have a great weekend and week!
