Eating Adventures in Asia
My journey through Asia has almost come to an end. The gift of travel is a generous one; the gift of food is downright delectable; the gift of learning about, and living in Okinawa has left me tearfully humble and grateful for the experience.

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?!),…
