Slow cooking - lamb stew

Pasta Marinara

Sometimes a simple dish like this is very good. Love the pasta especially with garlic toast.

Fried chicken

BBQ Burger

My husband and I had a craving for a nice juicy burger and decided to do BBQ. We really like our meat on the rare side but to be safe, we compromised with medium close to well-done. We believe that there is something about charcoal BBQ which cooks meat smokey and very juicy.

Homemade Ohagi - Japanese sweets

I made Ohgahi for my friend visiting me with her baby. Ohagi is a sweet rice ball covered with Anko (sweet red bean paste) and eaten especially around September when the season of Autumn begins on the calender. Ohagi has different variations such as a sweet rice ball with Anko inside and covered with ground black sesame seeds or with Kinako (soy bean powder). I love making Anko since the aroma from cooking red beans is so nice and gives me somewhat nostalgic feeling.
