Experimental cooking can be a source of deep joy--or agony--depending on how it turns out. The perfect meal shared with a good companion puts me in a deliciously good mood. But unhealthy, un-tasty, untimely meals put me in a frump. This is my quest for good foods and good moods.

Home-style Tempura
Sunday evening Joe and I were treated to a true Japanese meal at out neighbors' place. Unlike the overly batter-y version in U.S. restaurants, Sayaka's tempura is just dusted with a crispy coating. She fried gyoza, salmon, okra, brocoli, mushrooms and chicken. What a treat! Taizo made Osaka-style okinomiyaki, which was Joe's favorite part of the meal.
Here's our lovely host and hostess. Taizo came to the U.S. because his job with Autotech brought him here. Joe and I have really enjoyed getting to know our neighbors from other countries.
