Leftovers and New Treats

I'll apologize first.  Sorry this is a super short, and super boring post, but I wanted to share this pics at some point, and I don't have any others uploaded yet, and, well, you know how it goes.

Thanks everyone for the information on the avocado pit.  We assumed it was something like that, but assumed the lemon juice did that, along with covering the guac tight with plastic wrap.  I see it takes triple duty to prevent that browning, and somehow we managed to get brown anyway.

That meal left us with some leftovers, so both Ryan and I came up with a creative way to use them up.

First, I made a shrimp quesadilla.  It was perfect, especially because I made it on a homemade corn tortilla.

   

Ryan took his chicken and the chopped tomatoes and made mini pizzas on homemade corn tortillas.

When they were finished baking, he cut them into little pieces and topped with sour cream (another item in the fridge that needed to get used up).

I always feel good about using up the leftovers, even if it means creating something entirely different out of them.

A few weeks back one of the guys Ryan works with gave him some Japanese candies to try.  In case you missed the big announcement, we moving to Japan this summer.  Ryan was asking about a Japanese candy company he heard about, and the guy was not sure about it, but did offer some Japanese treats for us to try.

This is one of them:

It was like a chocolate covered, light and fluffy sponge like cake.  It was really good, and I have a feeling I am going to love trying out all the "new" foods I will have available to me when we get to Japan.

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.  We are on Spring Break here, so I don't have to go in to work at all, but as always, I still have work to do at home for the courses I teach online.

QUESTIONS:  Have you ever tried any Japanese snacks?  Do you like using leftovers?
