Christmas Dinner, alone, so alone
*rocks back and forth*
Thanks to the absence of those pesky, Judeo-Christian values and concepts, Japan is a country where:
a) Everyone has sex with at least 3 different people a day.
b) Christmas is largely a commercial affair, and the actual day of Christmas is like any other in the year.
Thus I spent Christmas at the office and went back to an empty (albeit, fabulous) apartment.
BUT! I have a kitchen now (I mean a real, usable kitchen as opposed to the one at my old place which was more like a booze cabinet) which is allowing me to indulge in one of my big passions. No, not masturbation, I’m talking about cooking.
So for a post-Christmas, anti-depression “festive” meal for one, behold what I created for myself…
You can’t really cook a roast for one person (unless you are a disgusting fatbody. It would also require an oven, which I do not have) but you can use some festive flavours. I based these pork and blueberry meatballs on my dad’s “famous” sausagemeat and cranberry stuffing (couldn’t find cranberries in my local supermarket) - they also contain lots of smashed up rosemary and garlic.
I sauteed them with some cherry tomatoes and served it all with gnocchi and spinach. A pretty respectable “festive” taste, that’s a little bit different and was perfect for one, lonely bastard.
Mmm.
Yes, I know. This was it. This was the gayest post ever on my blog.
merry belated jesus birthday, yongfook :)
happy belated jesus birgday, dude! :P
oh man that’s queer. what is it with brits and mixing meat and fruit? they go next to each other, not in each other. oh, btw - i love you. marry me?
Chefs mix fruit and meat cause it’s a great combination. I’m into the pork, apple and raisin combo, f’sho.
Merry Christmas (:
I wish i’d have eaten your balls…sorry, t’was easy
No oven? The travesty!
Also, what’s with the sex with 3 different people a day?
What did you drink with it?
I see that you cleverly used your computer table as your kitchen table.
Calpico FTW.
must try this meat and fruit combo… f’sho…
question: do the japanese exchange gifts for x-mas? i’ve heard xmas there is a “lovers’ holiday”.
Oh wow that looks really yummy, I’m going to jot that down and make it for my next week dinner party.
you need a better chef knife ;-p
It’s a Victorinox knife. They make the blades for Swiss Army knives and are actually quite excellent.
Those meatballs look scrumptious. I wonder how dried fruit would work out if soaked prior for meatballs? Say dried cherries or blueberries?
I myself love to make sweet potato gnocchis with fresh rosemary butter. Pure heaven I tell you. If I can get sweet potatoes in Japan then all will be swell. Otherwise I may cry. And even sex with 3 different people may not be able to console me. I may very well need a mass orgy and some of your meatballs.
Most. Innuendo-laden. Comment. Ever.
I’d say that was pretty blatant myself.
Well…I am a heavy user for Victorinox… It’s depends how to use(–)?! But you are right that Swiss Army knives are superior.
You sure know how to fire up product envy with those nice photos. Where do you get a Victorinox knife in Tokyo? I’m getting tired of my 100 yen super magic knives.
Still waiting for an answer on this tri-person daily sexual ritual thing. Not to mention what wine goes well with your balls. I’d presume a nice Shiraz, matches the pungency and spiciness.
lol its kinda cute how peoples comments are starting to sound like the way you blog
G, it remains to be seen whether YF will be flattered by the imitation, seriously weirded out, or perhaps even turned on.
Well it doesn’t surprise me in the least that any comment of mine would come off as innuedo laden. Food is huge to me and very much linked to sex. Willingness to experiment and try out new things food wise translates directly to sex. I refuse to continue dinner with any man who refuses to try new things. Oh yes. And every adjective concerning food that I tend to utter is interchangeable with sex.
I love food. And sex. Yongfook gives me hope that I will find both in great quantity Tokyo.
Though if there are no sweet potatoes there, then I demand a gang bang. And some of those succulent looking meatballs of his he has so teasing posted. You can’t post such sexy pics and mention that all of Japan gets sexed by no less than three different people on the regular and not expect me to get excited.
All I want is food, sex, and wine. Is that too much to ask for?
happy xmas and a better new year, bitch!
Come to see the best cooking show in the world - Iron chef

Do you wax or pluck your eyebrows?
Now then. Happy New Year! Hope all is well. Nice appartment, and good one on putting your own company together. Hey, couldn’t help but notice I got a mention on your previous post. Well, there’s my 15 minutes of fame. Except that it’s drawn out to infinity! Or at least as long as the site lasts. Unless you’re a bad man.
Anyway, you’re doing right well for yourself and probably are going to get very far with your business and earn pots of cash. But don’t forget that you’re funny too. If you get all serious I will burn your apartment block down. And hey - yes, the foodblog was great but some of the jet stuff was even better! The gay cabaret always gets me… the bulldog clips and watnot.
Consider this a WARNING. Merry Christmas.
He cooks? He cooks!

(what? the plus sign wouldn’t show)
Dateability /plus/30
Thats some nice meaty balls. Wonder what they taste like.
Wait, Yongfook, I just remembered that the 6th is your Podcast anniversary/birthday. Hope you have one ready for me to rub myself with.
you sexy beast. must hire you to be a butler. and make you serve food wearing nothing but a tiny apron.. yum
Heh, seems like a creative dish. Or maybe it’s just where you’re from. It ain’t the average American Guy Food, though, so it’s impressive either way. I wanna try makin’ it!
Looks delicious…White wine with it? Chardonnay? Reisling?
