Everything there looks so GOOD and some of it interesting....hmmm..I loved the sardine post!
So glad you are getting such wonderful cooking experiences there! You are going to have to teach me how to make pad thai for alec when you guys get back. He would LOVE it and I have been too scared to try it. But I will try your recipe, it looks great!

That's pure art! Doesn't have to taste good - lol.

What's wrong with Minnesota after all?

Great blog - great I found you via foodbuzz -

Can't wait to have hamburgers and hot dogs on the deck in Colorado when you get here. Did Brad tell you I have some herbs growing for you? My plan is to sit back, relax and let you do the cooking!! Can't wait to make pasta together again. I haven't made any since we did that last summer. It's no fun making it alone! Can't wait to see you guys!! Love, Maaaa

Shizuoka: Thanks for the note! Now I understand the reason you needed me to change my comment box. Of course, now that I will be using wordpress soon, I guess it doesn't make too much of a difference. Oh well! Glad to have a fellow gaijin reading my blog!

Aunt J: Thank you for your sweet words. You consistently remind me of why I love writing these posts and cooking food- lots of fond memories come from time spent in the kitchen and/or sharing a meal with loved ones. I love you!

2009-05-20T13:26:59.921+09:00

I loved that post. Not only because it was well - and charmingly - written, but because it reminded me of Daddy. Did you know your grandpa loved sardines?
Thanks, honey; you tempted my taste buds - and made me remember...
Keep writing!
Love you,
Aunt J in Hendersonville

Dear Racael!
Greetings and a big thank!
The reason I asked you is that Wordpress and Internet Explorers users like me cannot leave messages on othe boxes!
This said, may I compliment you on your blog?LOL
The old geezer, after all these year, has only 3 cringes in Japanese food: mentaiko/chili cod roe, shiokara/salted fish pickles and tororojiru/taro roots "soup".
On the other hand I love shirako!
In spite of my being French I can't stand fresh milk!
Now you will have to put up with me!LOL
Take good care and my regards to hubby!

Ravenous Couple: Thanks for the note! Truth time: I bought them tied together that way. I wish I could take the credit! That's part of the reason they looked so appealing in the grocery store! Thanks for stopping by- I've certainly enjoyed your site!

One Food Guy: Thanks for the comment on your first-time visit! Hope to see many more comments from you in the future!

Dain: Japanese baseball is definitely an experience. However, it does not come close to Minnesota Twins baseball. There is just no contest! Game this summer perhaps?

2009-05-19T02:42:00.000+09:00

The Japanese baseball experience sounds like a good time. Good to know that wherever baseball is played, hot dogs or brats can be devoured :)

I haven't even been to an American baseball game yet this season, but that will be changing soon. Dome dogs will be a thing of the past after this year as they'll be playing outside :( What will they call them now?? Hope you and Brad are well!

Hey there, just stumbled on your site through Foodbuzz; great post about baseball fare in Japan! I'm looking forward to following along on your food adventures :) and finding out how the Tokyo dome dog turns out!

It's interesting how a familiar recipe offers comfort and those new, lend a sense of soothing reassurance. We all need that some days! Thanks for sharing this alluring soup recipe.

Sharon: When I first saw this recipe, I thought it was a little out there. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense! The soup has a fresh, springy flavor and yes, it is extremely healthy! Hope you enjoy it!

I've never thought of using edamame in soup, but I'm loving the color and healthiness of this!

2009-05-14T09:30:00.000+09:00

We all have "off days" and we all deal with the desire for foods we were raised on. Mom's advice is to let it go. Create a new idea of what foods comfort you. Embrace the knowledge that's available at your fingertips that will help you change what goes into your body. Comfort yourself knowing that edamame soup is good for you. Hamburgers and potato salad... not so much.
Nice post. I love the commentary and I want that soup!

Yes, those figs were destined for greatness. I would probably serve this as a dessert, but there is no reason it wouldn't work for an appetizer as well!

Good! I'm glad this will work for your hubby, too!...

2009-05-13T08:01:00.000+09:00

Good! I'm glad this will work for your hubby, too! It really is tasty. Let me know what you think when you make it!

I love the photos and am super excited that you found something good to do with those precious figs. I only wish I were still with you so I could taste them. Would you serve this as an appetizer or a dessert?

2009-05-13T04:55:00.000+09:00

I can't wait to try this! It looks yummy. It also meets my husband's eating restrictions (super low carbs). Awesome. Thanks Rach.
