Today Mariko had two friends over to teach them how to make Chinese bao buns. My task was to grill the chicken that would be used as one of the proteins in the dish. I was of course happy to do so! The photo above is the vegan version, which uses tofu in a sweet teriyaki-style sauce. It’s also delicious. 😄
こんにちは. How’s it going?
Today we went to the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg to taste some wine at a few of the numerous wineries. It’s about an hour and a half drive from us, and I was the designated driver, which is fine because I love to drive. The weather was hot, but pleasant because of a breeze so sitting outside on the patios at the wineries was just about perfect! It was fun to take my mom and sister-in-law out to the Hill Country. A very nice day.

こんにちは。How’s it going?
We had a guest come over for dinner so we made a variety of dishes to enjoy. Mariko made burrata and tomato over toasted baguette, I grilled a skirt steak, Bay made deep fried mashed potatoes, and our guest brought over a kale and pine nut salad. Mmmmm!
I hope you had a nice day! またね〜
It’s always a good day when ramen’s for dinner. ♥️🍜
Bay cooked us “Beer-Battered Fish” tonight using a recipe from a book he is reading, Salt Fat Acid Heat. It was super-yummy! He also made an incredible tartar-sauce that even Koa (who despises mayo and mayo-like sauces) enjoyed.
It’s so nice to know that our son, who lives much of the year away from home with his college roommates, has great cooking skills. 😄
