…Saturday mornings, more often than not is our ‘you-me-while-the-kids-do-karate’ time as a couple or something like that. our less than an hour gastronomic date. or shall i say, our ONLY date a week if we’re lucky enough. as simple as it is, we definitely love it and always look forward to this ‘luxury’ that we are blessed with.

…for 2 days in a row, we had Teriyaki on the dinner table. the first one was with Salmon and last night, it was chicken. both with stir-fried bok choy with sesame oil on the side.
why? just because i made my own Teriyaki sauce and it was just more than enough for the salmon the previous night. plus! of course, there’s a plus!:) we all loved the sweet soy flavor that much that a second serving [read:repeat performance] was far from keeping it at bay, so to speak.
