Tonight was a special evening. Mariko made a big batch of karaage, the crispy and flavorful Japanese fried chicken that everyone in our family loves. What made it even more meaningful was that all four of us were home at the same time. My wife, our two sons, and I don’t often get the chance to sit down together like this, so I really cherished the moment. And I took extra time to savor the chicken too. 😀
Just two of these temaki filled me up!
It’s Setsubun time again! While we haven’t thrown soybeans at the oni since the kids were little, we still enjoy our ehōmaki. This year, one of the seven ingredients was Korean marinated beef – absolutely delicious!

So much variety on the plate!
Today, I got a haircut and noticed a line forming outside a new hotpot restaurant. Coincidentally, Mariko prepared a delicious hotpot dinner at home tonight! The chicken meatballs, tofu, and veggies made for a hearty and healthy meal. Soon, though, Mariko and I will try out the new restaurant and see how it is.
