Dinner Party

Two weeks in a row we have had takoyaki parties! This last one was at a friend’s house, and not only did we have takoyaki, but we also had Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. It was basically a small amount of batter, like a creped, and on top of that went cabbage, egg noodles (like yakisoba-style), and thinly sliced pork. There was also fried egg, plus the toppings of okonomiyaki sauce, green onion, that green stuff, bonito flakes, and some kewpie mayo. I took some video, so I will upload that soon. It was sooo good! There were also other goodies, like karaage, edamame, a small taco bar, chips, queso, and salsa. It was quite a combination! To go along with the meal, we had lots of beer, including some ales, Mexican beers (Carta Blanca and Tecate), Japanese beers (Asahi Super Dry and Sapporo), and Margaritas. We all had a great time eating and drinking and watching various things on the background TV, including Anpanman, Stanley Cup Finals, and Harry Potter. It was a great evening!
