It seems like my first blog post every year is always about Mariko’s delicious osechi. This year’s was no exception! She switched things up by using pork instead of the usual beef, and I have to say — I loved it even more!

We had a delicious nabe tonight, filled with veggies, tofu, mushrooms, sliced pork, chicken, noodles, and even a touch of mochi. So satisfying and wonderfully warming!
This was a bit unexpected, but curry night happened… tonight! Totally random, but so awesome. You can’t go wrong with a big pot of curry!
Mariko and I started a mini work-cation on Maui today, while my mom, brother, and sister-in-law started their vacation. It’s beautiful here.
For our first meal, we picked up some Ichiban Okazuya. We had Korean chicken, teriyaki beef, mahi mahi, and pork katsu plates. Everything was so tasty and filling. It’s actually enough for another meal! Oishikatta
Every birthday, Mariko asks me what I want for dinner, and my mind instantly goes to oyakodon — it’s my absolute favorite! This year, I almost chose okonomiyaki, but in the end, the mighty oyakodon won out.
