King Crab Date



My husband and I ate a whole fresh king crab and a giant clam (mirugai) sashimi--among other seafood offerings--in Chinatown. That was a night to remember. One day my husband said stoically that he paid interest on his credit card charge for years afterwards! Well, it was worth it. So fresh and succulent was the crab meat, while the liver titillate the entire palate. And the giant clam's briny sweet taste and chewy texture were a pure delight!

Baby Meals





My 15 month-old Russell is now enjoying solid foods. I've prepared porridge made of carrots, zucchini, seaweed, beef tenderloin and rice. Russell appreciated its soft texture. I keep seasoning to a bare minimum so as to accentuate the original flavor of each ingredient and avoid sodium. I've added just a few drops of sesame oil.




Russell always devours the foods I've made for him. I feel so happy when he enjoys all that I feed him!
