“Japanese Dinner” Cedar Park, 2020

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight we had another Japanese comfort food: nikujaga / 肉じゃが. It’s a beef and potato dish, in a semi-sweet broth. Mariko added a can of quail eggs to the dish and it was excellent!

“Eggplant” Cedar Park, 2020

We also enjoyed eggplant which was grown in our friends’ garden. So delicious. Of course the meal was rounded out with miso soup and steamed rice. I could eat nikujaga every day, it’s so yummy. 😄

I hope you had a great day!

Take-out sushi from Komé – so delicious!❤️🍣 We haven’t used our onigiri-shaped shoyu plates in a while, but I love them.

“Family Favorite” Cedar Park, 2020

For dinner, Mariko made our family-favorite karaage. The “JFC” (Japanese fried chicken) was extra-crispy this time because she left some of the skin on the pieces of chicken thigh. It was awesome! As usual, Koa liked his karaage with a bit of lemon, while Bay ate his with some Kewpie mayo. I alternated between both. ☺️

I hope you had a nice day!
