With or Without Cholesterol

The first 3 photos are a typical non oil food, most suitable for those concerned about cholesterol. Left: Sweet tofu cooked with shitake mushroom. Middle: sashimi salad consisting raw tuna, raw squid, lady's finger, yam sliced thinly, with "soy sauce and bonito flakes" as dressing. Right: asparagus cooked with crab meat.

Night dish: easy to prepare and this one reminds me a lot of my dinner in Australia ... without the rice though :)

Left: potato soup mixed with freshly picked parsley from the garden
Right: tuna & potato salad, honey sweetened carrot, broccoli with garlic sauce and my favorite, Australian beef sirloin steak!

My girl always wants an extra mayonnaise on her potato salad, while daddy insists i put less.... ugh! (headache :)
