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〜
This year we celebrated Mother’s Day with our two kiddos at home. Our oldest son came back from college today so all four table chairs were all once again. 😀 As you can see from the photo above, we enjoyed delicious a temaki sushi set for dinner. And the owners of the sushi restaurant also included a special saké and some carnations, which is a tradition in Japan. It was super nice.
For gifts, I bought some candles from Emme Essentials and picked up a bouquet of flowers. The candles have a nice subtle fragrance, and since our family doesn’t like heavily scented candles, I think these are great. The wooden wick is special too!
I hope Mariko had a nice day with her kids and the goodies.
Mariko is back home and she made us a yummy omelette dinner with potato, beef, and cheese. It was so good! And it was nice to have miso soup again. 😀
Tonight we had a sweet and spicy curry for dinner. The “secret” ingredient was Buc-ee’s Candied Jalapeño. It seems like everybody’s curry recipe should have a secret ingredient to make it unique, and I think that is pretty cool.
Mariko always makes our curry for the family, but next time, I’d like to try making it (with her help). That way, I can try to find my own secret ingredient as well as helping out with more meal prep.
Anyways, I’ve taken many curry photos over the years, but the photo below is one style that I don’t usually share. It’s of the second helping which doesn’t look as nice, but probably tastes even better than the first serving. 😊
Buri-shabu is amazing. What a treat!
