Tom joined our conversation, saying “I need more repertoire.”
What?
What was that?
What does he mean by “more repertoire”?
There are over 200 Japanese recipes here, and I even wrote at least a couple of dozen recipes for non-Japanese Asian dishes. Some even make special mention that they are “Tom-ready.”
Last night, Tom suggested we have some “mama's ika” -- meaning, my mom's kind of calamari dish (Tom bestowed the nickname).
I knew he was expecting me to cook it, so I emailed him the recipe so he can make it.
Yet, measuring is still tricky for him.
1 tsp or 1 tbsp is supposed to be measured “on the level,” meaning the top is flat.
When I pointed out that what he scooped from the brown sugar jar was more than 1 tbsp since it was a huge mound, Tom had a creative solution: he compressed it to make the top flat.
Wow, I’d never seen anyone do that. While I was a bit impressed with his unconventional problem-solving, I told him to measure it again.
I’m so glad to be able to help Tom with his repertoire expansion.
