Yesterday, at a japanese convenience store, I bought a microwaveable container of rice porridge with abalone. I'm working up to trying it. I also bought some hot sauce, just in case it needs it.
I'm working on my homemade sourdough tonight! This is my third attempt. (The first loaf I made was totally flat, the second was OK, but a bizarre shape and undercooked.) This loaf is looking pretty hopeful. No telling till it cools and I can try a slice though...
