To return to the meals I do have pictures of: last night we had tori no tsukimi mushi again--steamed moon-viewing chicken. It was quick, and I think it was better this time than last--maybe I can do chawan mushi soon! I also made a lotus-root stir-fry, and a moyashi salad (bean sprout). We also had our usual ume-hakusai pickles, rice, and miso soup.
The lotus root stir-fry. It's got a bit of lemon in it, which I love but my husband dislikes. He suggested I maybe make it for lunch while he's at work in the future.
The moyashi salad. It isn't super-good; in fact, it's a bit soggy, but edible.
Tonight for dinner, we had aji-boshi, or a flat, slightly dried aji (mackarel). My husband grilled the fish, and the rest of our meal was leftovers. We spent the day out today, so we didn't have a lot of time to cook.
Leftover moyashi salad and kuri kinton (chestnut kinton). It's a chesnut and sweet potato dessert. I made it when my parents were here, but we have quite a bit of it leftover. It's sweet, but still pretty good for you, so I find it quite satisfying. 
A coworker of my husband's also gave us some kaki (persimmons). They were getting too ripe so we had to eat them tonight as well. I peeled them by dipping them in boiling water the same way you do with tomatoes, but the peels still came off unevenly. Maybe because they were too ripe, or perhaps I dipped them too long. At any rate, I topped them with a lemon cream sauce. It was all right, but the persimmon and the lemon were a bit of a strange combination.
Chrysanthemum daikon again.
And our meal for tonight! Rice, miso with tofu, hakusai pickles, spicy gobo pickles, moyashi salad, kuri kinton, a persimmon, daikon radishes, and leftover lotus root stir-fry. Not bad at all.
