こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today was Bay’s last “normal” day with me before he heads to college, and we spent the morning shopping at IKEA for a few last-minute dorm items. It was fun, but I was a little sad because I knew this would be the last time for a while that I would get to hang out with him. 😢

For dinner, Bay requested that I make spaghetti with meatballs. Since this is his “last meal” I was surprised that he asked me to make it, since Mariko is 100x a better cook than I am. So that made me kind of happy inside. 😌

It’s a temaki sushi dinner evening! I prefer nigiri sushi, but temaki sushi is wonderful too. I mean, nigiri is a 10, and temaki hand roll sushi is a 9… so both are great. 😀

I hope you had a nice day!

 “Yakiniku Dinner” Cedar Park, 2019

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight’s dinner was yakiniku, which is a Japanese interpretation of Korean barbecue. Because we live near an H-Mart Korean market, we can buy perfectly prepared meats for yakiniku anytime. Years ago, before the market opened, we’d buy large cuts of meat, and then I would slice the semi-frozen meat with a meat slicer. It was 面倒くさい!　Thankfully, those days are over.

Preparing for yakiniku is mainly chopping up the desired veggies, getting the dipping sauces for the meat ready, and making sure you have enough fuel in the canisters for the stove. It’s no fun to run out of flame during the meal and not have a full canister ready to replace it with. 😲

Tonight we had four kinds of meat, two types of dipping sauces, cabbage, jalapeño, onion, asparagus, cheese, and kimchee. An ice-cold beer is also nice!

I hope you had a good day!

Tonight’s dinner was pork and daikon, prepared in the Instant Pot. As you may know, daikon radish can be stinky and that was certainly the case when releasing the steam from the Instant Pot. But the meal was delicious! 😄
