“Osechi” Cedar Park, 2021

We kicked off the new year with another delicious traditional osechi. In addition to the usual awesome dishes, we had some saba (mackerel) that our friends prepared for us and it was excellent. I love saba so much!

Here’s to a good 2021!

Crab Dinner

“Pot of Crab” Cedar Park, 2020

Usually we have crab in Jamaican rundown sauce at my parents’ house for part of Christmas dinner, but since we didn’t travel, we missed it this year. Well, Mariko found Dungeness crab on sale at Costco, so she bought a few for dinner. We simply steamed them ate with melted butter. The meat was so sweet and delicious!

Next year we’re planning on having Jamaican food in California, but I wouldn’t mind it if we had crab at home more often. 😀🦀
