The Japanese Pancake ~ it’s SO fluffy!!
I blame credit QB for introducing me to the Japanese pancake! She just had to have her going away party at Hanon Seaside Cafe… as if it wasn’t enough that they serve a beautiful and tasty cappuccino, or the baby creme brûlée-breakfast dessert (if you can have dessert after dinner, why not after breakfast?!),…
By Design
Home-baked bread doesn’t need anything special to be special. However, decoratively scoring into unbaked loaves, that have been gently blanketed with a dusting of flour- creates a stunning food-gift…much like spending a little more time on wrapping a present for a loved one- may you feel love with each bite you take ❣️
Two Eggs, please
Two eggs, sautéed onion, bacon, and thyme – topped with a sheer blanket of gruyère cheese, all tucked in a little ramekin, pop it in the oven and suddenly, this simple, diner staple becomes something special… line the ramekins with ham, throw in some fresh chopped baby spinach, top with halved cherry tomatoes and you’ve…
home, homes, love, and poptarts (the homemade addition).

Cabbage Soup
After a long day on the tumultuous water, T actually said he wanted soup for dinner… at first I thought he was being condescending, as I know he detests soup (it never stops me from throwing it out as a remote dinner possibility!) – but the exchange went like this: The man loves fishing and…
Chanpuru with mustard greens and tuna
The bountiful harvest that was my shopping basket yesterday, included fresh Okinawa tofu, mustard greens, garlic, sprouts and zucchini… oh, and a lovely container of Okinawa tuna – all perfect ingredients for the specialty known as Okinawa Chanpuru, and oh, it’s delicious and healthy! Crisp up the tofu, and you have some incredible textures and…
When In Rome…
