Pingu and I hosted our 11th Multi-Cultural Food Picnic.
My Chicken Wings with Onion Sauce 手羽玉炒め煮
This dish received eight votes and unofficially came in the second place, but I had to disqualify myself. :) I was pleased that the chicken was sold out so quickly. :D Thank you!
Pingu's Teriyaki Flat Iron Steak on Rice
My Hijiki Rice ひじきの混ぜご飯
This one "unofficially" won the 3rd prize. I can't believe people liked both of my dishes and have mixed feelings! Before becoming a mom, I used to spend so much more time preparing my food for the picnic. This time, I spent SO LITTLE TIME making the chicken wings and this rice dish, but they turned out to be very popular. :o Pretty ironic, isn't it? (^^;)

OXO Good Grips Smooth Potato Masher
My baby loves Pingu's BBQ sweet potatoes, so I'm freezing some so that he can have it anytime he wants. :d
Wanted to make some kind of simple pasta dish with the BBQ Teriyaki Chicken that Pingu made yesterday.
OMG, I received these incredibly amazing gifts from OXO today! I almost cried!!! My baby started eating solid food very recently, so the timing couldn't be any better. Will take more pictures when he can feed himself.

An egg-free/dairy-free/peanut-free 10" red velvet cake with dairy-free cream cheese frosting and filling by Let Them Eat Cake, The Allergy-Friendly Patisserie for Pingu's brother's and father's birthdays. So beautiful, impressive, and tasty. Everybody enjoyed it. Thank you for letting my daughter eat cake, Amanda and Jason!
Dairy & Egg-Free Lasagna with ground chicken. Made white sauce with soy milk and Japanese consomé. It was a hit!
玄米プチプチ全粒粉パン
We picked close to 10 lb. of cherries from one of our trees in the backyard. There were so many that even OXO's biggest (5 qt.) mixing bowl couldn't hold all the cherries!
Afternoon tea time with the kids. Boba (tapioca pearl) coffee for my son & me. Boba tea with soy milk for my daughter.
When I feel like I'm coming down with a cold/flu, I make this broth with chicken bones, LOTS OF ginger and green onions. The next day, I have it again with some noodle. Simple and tasty.
