We’re in for a big freeze here in Austin, but to stave off the cold, Mariko made an amazing nabe with homemade udon noodles, shrimp, and a creamy uni broth. It was amazing!
It’s been pretty chilly here in Texas lately, so a hot nabe is perfect for warming up. So delicious, and with plenty of veggies and tofu, you don’t feel too heavy after eating.
How am I going to shed these holiday pounds when Mariko makes dinners like this? A nice (and delicious) problem to have. 😂
Happy New Year! We started 2023 off with a delicious osechi brunch. Mariko and her friends prepared everything here, with my contribution being the roast beef. All the dishes were yummy!
These past two weeks have been filled with a lot of yummy foods and plenty of dessert, so I need to get back into my exercise routine quickly. With that in mind, I went for a long run this afternoon and completed my monthly half-marathon challenge in Strava. I struggled a little bit and walked a couple of times, but it wasn’t too bad. I’m really looking forward to a nice year of running!
We enjoyed our New Year’s Eve soba tonight, but this year it was matcha soba. So yummy! Could eat this every day. 😀
