Today, I got a haircut and noticed a line forming outside a new hotpot restaurant. Coincidentally, Mariko prepared a delicious hotpot dinner at home tonight! The chicken meatballs, tofu, and veggies made for a hearty and healthy meal. Soon, though, Mariko and I will try out the new restaurant and see how it is.

Before heading back to school for the semester, my son requested one more meal: spaghetti and meatballs. It’s been a family favorite for two generations, and I love making it for everyone. I’m glad it’s still a hit!
