Mom's Visit

Joe and I had such a great time with my mom visiting! It was so nice to have her here :) We spent the majority of our time wandering around Nagoya. It was nice to explore different areas of the city we live in, while also relaxing and spending time together.

While most days we ate out, we did spend one evening making dinner. To start with, I introduced my mom to edamame (soybeans). Very easy to make: just boil in salt water for about 5 minutes, then salt and serve. Then I made yakisoba, which is basically just Japanese fried noodles (similar to Chinese "chow mein"). Also very easy to make: stir-fry prepared noodles with cabbage and veggies and any meat of your choice, add the yakisoba sauce, worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper.
