Hi all!
Just a quick photo this evening. It’s late and my brain is tired… Anyways, tonight’s dinner was a marinated salmon and avocado donburi (rice bowl) with miso soup. Simple but delicious!
I hope you had a nice Friday!

こんばんは。How’s it going? Have a nice Thursday? Mine was non-stop busy at work. It’s good work, though, and I really enjoy what I do. Every day is a challenge but I’m satisfied with the project that I get to take part in. I’m grateful for that!
Tonight’s photo is of a Hawaiian dinner that we enjoyed at home. Packed away in our freezer was a package of lau lau that my parents had brought back from Maui on one of their trips back to the islands. 🌴 It’s pork and chicken 🐷🐔 wrapped in taro leaves, although sometimes spinach is substituted. I think this was the real deal though.
When I was growing up, my grandparents would visit us twice a year from Maui, and packed in their huge boxes were the fixings for a huge Hawaiian feast. So, I’ve been eating lau lau for most of my life… it’s really a comfort food! As a kid, I didn’t really like lau lau I admit… but now I love it! Lau lau and rice is so good. 😄🍴
This evening, Koa had a concert at the nearby high school. 🎼 His middle school band is pretty amazing! Koa’s a percussionist and tonight he played the marimba using 4 mallets at a time. It was so cool, and I am so proud of him! He works very hard at percussion and it pays off big time. In the photo below, Koa is on the far right.
I hope you have a good evening!

こんばんは。Please enjoy these photos of some classic Japanese curry. 🍛 In our house, we like the combination of curry rice and macaroni salad. We find that these two dishes complement each other perfectly.
Besides Japanese-style curry, I love Indian curries, Thai curries, and Jamaican curry. In fact, I don’t think I’ve met a curry that I didn’t like! 😜
I hope you had a nice Tuesday.
またね～

こんばんは。It’s the first day of Spring! Did yours start off right?
Today Mariko returned from vacation and she made a wonderful dinner of salmon, tamagoyaki, miso soup, carrots, and asparagus. It was delicious, and so much better than the bachelor food we’ve been eating since she was away.
It’s good to be back to our normal schedule! 😝
I hope you had a nice Monday!
