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〜

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. 😄

Tonight we enjoyed Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I love it! My favorite is Osaka-style, but Hiroshima style is delicious as well. I am so full… I couldn’t stop eating. 😁

こんばんは。How’s it going?

This evening Mariko made some double-deep-fried karaage. Wow. Just super. And our oldest son made a yummy green sauce to go with it. In fact, we had the green sauce, Zhong sauce, and Kewpie mayo to choose from. Karaage is a family favorite, for sure, and the homemade sauce made it extra-special. ♥️

I hope you had a great day! またね〜
