「さて、家で待っているピラニア軍団に、今夜も茶色い大皿料理を作ろうか」
ブログにそう書いたら、「茶色い大皿料理って何？」と聞かれた。
目が見えない長女がいる時には、彩り豊かなものを並べるのに、
食べ盛りの少年たちのお腹を満たす日常は、茶色だらけのメニューが並ぶ。
ステーキ、焼肉、トンカツ、餃子、チャーハン。
もちろんサラダや野菜の付け合わせも作るけれど、大皿には「茶色い料理」が幅を利かせている。
クリスマスの夜にはチキンレッグを20本焼いた。
翌日の昼まで持つと思ったのに、あっという間の完食。
そもそも写真を撮ろうとした段階で、すでに前菜のお皿はスカスカになっている。
そして今夜も寝る前に、明日焼くサーモンに下味を付けておこう。
やっぱり働くママに、冬休みはないのだ。
" So, I will cook another brown platter for the piranha army waiting for me at home tonight."
When I wrote that on my blog, I was asked, "What's a brown platter?
When I have my eldest daughter who can't see, I put out colorful dishes.
But only for my teenagers, I put out a menu full of brown dishes to fill their stomachs.
Steak, grilled meat, pork cutlets, dumplings, fried rice.
Of course, I make salads and vegetable garnishes, but the platter is dominated by "brown food.
At Christmas night, I grilled 20 chicken legs.
I thought they would last until lunch next day, but all meals consumed them in a flash.
In the first place, the appetizer plate was already empty when I tried to take photos.
Tonight, before I go to bed, I'll season the salmon I'll cook tomorrow.
After all, working moms don't get a winter vacation.
