Happy New Year!

As always, I’m starting the year out with a ton of resolutions. This time they’re categorized: Health/Fitness, Personal Growth/Interests, Time Management/Organization, Education/Training, Recreation/Leisure, Personal Finance, Career, Family/Relationships, and Home Improvement. Yikes! What was I thinking? Seriously, though, from a food/cooking perspective, one of them is to make sure our family meals are nutritious and delicious. And another resolution from that insane list is to publish to this blog regularly!!


My mom’s in town (on right), and has become very involved with the local chapter of the Okinawan Kenjinkai, which is a group of women from Okinawa who meet together on a very regular basis for socializing. This includes eating! You should have seen the spread at the New Years Party! Talk about sushi…one of the ladies owned a popular sushi restaurant in town, so we got the feast of feasts made by an expert. They had mochi, mochi soup, mikans, udon, sato tempura, shrimp tempura, octopus tempura…the list goes on. We (my siblings and I) were in heaven. Wouldn't you be?

Do you happen to have a recipe for sato tempura? I lived in Okinawa for a few months and I loved it. I've been searching for a recipe and have had no luck. Thanks!
