We had fun today at breakfast with some of our walking buddies.
While walking last week, we thought of celebrating Valentine with the “love of our lives”. “How about we have a gyoza/ sukiyaki lunch”, one of us said. I thought it would be great, a sequel to our earlier soba/tonkatsu lunch.
Early on Kazu, Joy’s Japanese husband, told her to give us a taste of their cooking. “Instead of Joy’s plan to send the food over to our homes, why don’t we have lunch together”, I proposed.
So together, they prepared soba and the most tender pork tonkatsu with different sauces and side dishes. And it was so yummy.
Recent circumstances however altered our plans, so late yesterday we opted for breakfast instead. But two of our partners were not able to make it
But breakfast or lunch doesn’t matter, as long as we get together, eat together and share stories and laugh together.
I think my minestrone soup with lots of veggies and grated parmesan was a hit. Look, they brought home some.
This morning was a lot of fun, plenty of a-ha moments; lots of love all around and memories to treasure.
Thanks a lot for having it in our simple backyard garden, it may not be the best of gardens but that is us and we are happy to enjoy it with friends. What is important is not perfection but the connection, after all, hospitality prioritizes connection over perfection.
