Long overdue post…still from last winter, but a rather odd winter day…early in February when the weather should be around 0° and lower, we got about 18° — the sun was really high up which sent the ice skating rink…
Ube Dume (sic) (Purple Dirty)
I reintroduced my two older kids to the red bee 2 years ago. It was my youngest’s first time to meet him and needless to say, they god hooked. My brother, then single would almost always give in to their…
More Cheesecakes and Macarons
That’s how addicted I could get…especially if I have to finish work and I haven’t had breakfast yet… This is the “normal” cheesecake – soft and chewy, very subtle and heavenly at the same time. The macarons? Need I say…
Summer fest (food)

^Tamagoyaki, sake and ebi sushi, sake and kappamaki Finally found these photos. I had a previous review of the place and partly of the food in May Lee, an Asian restaurant serving Japanese and Chinese dishes. It’s too obvious how…
Naruto Kamaboko

Pizza weekend
