Tonight I made oyakodon 親子丼 for the kids and I using a recipe from Just One Cookbook and it turned out pretty good! The recipe is for 2 servings, and uses two chicken thighs, but I upped the quantity to three.

However, after I defrosted the thighs, I noticed that it was more like 5 thighs, and not 3, so when I made the dish, the sauce wasn’t as flavorful as it should have been. It still tasted great. But I’ll remember to make more sauce or use the right amount of chicken.

Tonight’s dinner was yakiniku with Japanese wagyu beef, sliced pork belly, sausage, mushrooms, cheese, and homegrown nasubi and jalapeño peppers. The beef was amazing, and the peppers were off-the-chart spicy! We also had some store-bought peppers which were very mild, thankfully.

I love spicy food, but these peppers were almost too much. I’d say these were almost as hot as habaneros! 🔥🌶 I loved them though. 😂
