Tonight's dinner ～

My mom mistaken that I wouldn't be going home tonight as she thought I will be staying over at my granny's house.

So, when I got home, she was shocked to see me home and said she didn't make my dinner and asked "Are you not staying at granny's house tonight?"

Have you guys ever experienced going home late in the evening and was really hungry, hoping that there will be dinner already served... warm and tasty dinner...

BUT your dinner is not there?!!! T_T

What will your reactions be?

So, instead of crying over my dinner, I quickly make my own dinner with what I have in the refrigerator.

I need something quick and simple because I was super hungry and tired.

I NEED FOOD! haha!

So, I came up with this cold salad. Once I am done with everything, I place my salad in the refrigerator and take a quick shower to freshen up.

Little did I know, my mom has done something to my salad... and she did something else.

Once I have finished my shower, I went into the refrigerator to get my salad. I sat down and before I started to eat, I realized a little something extra inside my salad.

She added some dried raisins into my bowl of salad. She told me, the taste will be better with those sweet dried raisins. I ate it and truly, I love it! This salad is actually the same as what I have done for my October bento tutorial but I added eggs and mushroom. The dressing is rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Now with the dried raisins added, it gives a hint of sweetness.. as in fruits sweetness. Anyway, there are mushroom, raw carrots, edamame, hard boiled egg, wakame and dried raisins in this salad. Sprinkled with white and black sesame seeds with little of shiso powder too. I love shiso powder!

Then mama served me a hot bowl of miso soup and said a dinner wouldn't be complete without miso soup though.

Ahhh.. I feel warmer now. haha! I thank her for the miso soup as I don't intend to make one tonight because I want a quick meal. She then apologized to me for the misunderstanding; hence didn't make my dinner.

I smiled and told her "It's alright. I am an adult. I can prepare my own meal now. So, don't worry." ^_^

As much as she knew I don't want to have any rice for dinner, she asked me to eat a little bit for energy. She said you must be very tired from work; hence it's better to eat little rice for the energy.

Rice is sprinkled with shiso powder.

Truly, mom is the greatest. I love my mom.. though it's not in my culture to say it out from our mouth saying "I love you, mom" .. I do love and appreciate her. More than she knows. hehe!

Alright~ That's my dinner and a little story behind it. haha!
