OMG the hot, bubbly, garlic butter made my house smell like everything was just right in this world again... 🧄🧈🕊☮️

Yesterday was the first day of Lent... so, I tried to do a fancy without red meat for me and my boy... 👩🏻‍🍳👩‍👦

Ended up with EXTRA garlicky butter scallops with baguettes... it’s as “fancy” as I can get at the moment 🙈... but mannn these were oh sooo yummeh! 🤤🥰🍴

Enjoy your Thursday!!

So, hai! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Single momma here with a premed with an INSANE schedule between classes at 2 colleges, volunteer work, and club activities... Holy freakin... I signed up to be driver because there’s literally no time between his classes & activities... omg we were out ALL DAY 🤪

Wiped out is an understatement... so my future heart surgeon treated me to K-bbq to give me a break from cooking 😁🙌🏻 #score!

First time at @masterkimslv and they did not disappoint! We had 👉🏻 beef bulgogi, NY strip steak, angus short ribs, beef brisket, rib eye, angus kalbi, beef tongue, beef intestine (joshua is the brave one who will try anything once), pork belly, steamed egg, cheese corn, and green tea ice cream (sorry no pic because food coma)...

Great atmosphere... friendly staff!!! 😁👍🏻

Thank you, son!!! 🙏🏻🥰❤️

Wishing y’all a happy Wednesday!

I know it’s all in my head... but as my son’s

I know it’s all in my head... but as my son’s 2nd semester at UNLV approaches, the lazier I feel... and I’m not even the one going to school!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

So needing a time-out from the kitchen, I grabbed a couple of quick yummies from @chankoshabu ...

✔️ Salmon Bowl (salmon & salmon egg on steamed white rice. The salmon was supposed to be raw but ended up cooked by the steamed rice lol... if taking home, I suggest you request them to separate the protein 🐟)

✔️ Takoyaki (octopus balls 🐙 lol)

✔️ Menchi Katsu (panko breaded ground meat)

✔️ Tuna Poke (tuna with poke sauce and seaweed salad)

✔️ Kaki Fry (Japanese fried oysters with Tartar sauce)

Everything tasted sooo oishii! 😋🤤💕 and the restaurant looks beautifully authentic Japanese... I’m definitely going back to dine in!!!

Have a fun Sunday!

Oden (Japanese one-pot fish cake stew) 🇯🇵🍢🍲

I must confess... I was born in Japan, but have never ever had ODEN. 😱

This simmered dish usually includes daikon, boiled eggs 🥚, fish cakes 🍥 , and konnyaku stewed in a dashi broth for about an hour 🍲

And being an anime addict, I see this dish served all the freakin time... I’ve been telling myself I have to try it. Kept putting it off for years... until now. 🙆🏻‍♀️

I totally forgot to throw in the eggs & konnyaku 🙈... but it came out pretty good regardless. The daikon came out soooo tender and delicious, having absorbed the broth... omg you could slice them with chopsticks! 🥢🇯🇵🍱

I guess this counts as a blooper as well... but I’ll post again when I make it properly! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Happy Friday! 🎉
