seastar v-day dinner...♥

jamus took me out to a lovely dinner at the SEASTAR in downtown bellevue♥
i must say, it was fantastic!
i also had a glass o wine♫
i managed to find a photo of the exact entree i had!
it's the ahi tuna with wasabi sauce (mm...that sauce was so good!) and rice♥
*drools*

for dessert, i had some cookies baked my the famous jamus...
my favorite! choco chips♥
now...let's work out all those calories!

*i wish i had taken a photo of jamus dressed up... he looked very nice♥

美味しい誕生日★

好きな食べ物だらけのお食事でした★
さすがオカパン、茶碗蒸しを作ってくれました。
美味しい～！！！！思わず写真を撮ってもらいました。

こちらはヤマイモを使ったサラダでございます。しかも
オカパンの手作りドレッシングと混ぜております。
さっぱりしててなかなかの美味しさですぅ～

チラシ寿司ライス。。。これは、残念ながらあいびは食べられません。子供の頃から苦手で、
今でもあまり手出せないです。

そして、スミス一家では「幻豆腐」と言われる「揚げだし豆腐」です★
これはいつ食べても美味しい。いや、あいびは豆腐毎日食べられるぞ！＾＿＾
オカパン＆オトパン、ごちそうさまでした！

ファミリーと写真撮影★

these are famiry pictures from the 手巻き寿司パーティー★

ちょっと。。。。何でトロちゃん。。。？（笑）

sushi maru...!

jamus and i went out for sushi dinner on friday♥
we decided to try out the new 'sushi maru' in downtown bellevue. it's a conveyer belt style sushi restaurant. the choices were...meh, alright. i liked that they didn't have too much rice on the sushi. but i still prefer sushi-land. sushi-land has more variety and their salmon is better.

焼肉...!

今日は久しぶりに焼肉を食べに行きました！
考えてみれば焼肉なんて。。。。超久しぶり！しかもすぐ近くにある「ブルー・ジンジャー」って言う
韓国風のBBQ。本当に美味しかった！カルビとブルゴギとタン★他にも野菜とキムチ、漬物など付いてきていい感じ！もちろんアサヒビールも飲んだゼイ！エリカとジェームズと行って、３人で８０ドル位♥ わるくないね～

la casa de oaxaca part deuce...!

here are more pictures from our mexican dinner outing :)

mum's bday dinner....!

hey mum!!! happy birthday! (march 24th)
tonight we went out for (considering my parents never go out to eat, a rather NICE restaurant) for my mother's bday★
yep...sushi!
and fer dessert we had 煎茶ブルレ(sencha brulee)
i've never had it before but i know cream brulee is the dessert amelie likes to crack with her spoon... so i was fascinated! i totally cracked it! the top is sugar coated but the inside was like sencha cream of some sort... they said the inside part wasn't too sweet so i had a few bites...YUM

誕生日おめでとう！桑田のＤＶＤそろそろ着くかな？
