Xmas Dinner

Hello. Today, I had a Xmas Dinner with my friends. My friends invited me Okonomiyaki Party.

Okonomiyaki is Japanese Pancake. It is very popular food in Japan.

This is from internet explanation...

"Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki meaning "grilled" or "cooked" (cf. yakitori and yakisoba). Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with Kansai or Hiroshima areas of Japan, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region".

It was soooooo delicious!!!

We also cooked Special Miyazaki Beef. It was sooooo good. This beef comes from Miyazaki, South part of Japan, so it is called Miyazaki Beef.

It was really nice Xmas dinner. Please enjoy the pictures.

Today's Dinner with Mom

I had a dinner with my mom tonight. My dad went to fishing, so we decided to have dinner together. We went to Soba restaurant for lunch, so we were not too hungry... that was why we had light dinner. My mom's cooking is always delicious, and that is why I do not cook anything when I am in Japan. I love mom's cooking. All my Japanese recipes are from my mom. Mom always cooks a lot of dishes for dinner, but today we were not too hungry. So she cooked few dishes tonight. I need to learn more mom's recipes from my mom.........

Thank you very much, mom.

I am so sorry about pictures' quality...
