I’m turning some Scotch Bonnet peppers, gifted by my Mom and cousin, into homemade hot sauce. I’ve already removed the seeds and prepped the peppers, and now they’re resting for a day. Next, I’ll add vinegar and let the mixture sit for another week. I’m excited (and slightly nervous) to see just how intense this sauce will be!
Last night, we tried a new all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant, Happy Lamb. They offer two tiers of meat. The regular level looked good, but the higher level was only $5 more per person and included premium cuts like wagyu beef and ribeye, so we upgraded. The selection of vegetables and seafood was also impressive, and both broths we chose were delicious, though I especially enjoyed the spicy one.
I’d definitely recommend Happy Lamb. It’s delicious, and the all-you-can-eat dinner is reasonably priced at $29/$34 per person.

Tonight, Mariko prepared chicken glazed in a sweet sauce and topped with homemade tartar sauce. It was absolutely delicious! The cabbage salad complemented it perfectly. Yum!
