I am posting often so Cameron can see what we are up to while he is gone... We miss you! .JPG)
Tonight for dinner we had Chicken "katsu" and "takoyaki". This is a favorite of my kids. Isabel, who is incredibly picky, loves it!
On the left, takoyaki. On the right chicken katsu over rice. This is not how the Japanese eat it, but it's how we like it! I use okonomiyaki sauce on top of the katsu instead of the tonkatsu sauce you are supposed to use. They are very similar in taste.

Here's a close-up of the takoyaki. For a more detailed definition, click on the link above. Suffice it to say they are filled with octopus, covered with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise and bonito fish flakes.
Here's Vanya pointing out a piece of "tako" or octopus.
And here he is enjoying it. We didn't buy enough, I hardly got any.
I was joking with Vanya about it later. Here's a boy who loves octopus, shrimp and all kinds of fish, seaweed, fish flakes, etc. However, last Sunday night we made strawberry ice cream and he wouldn't touch it!
We went to a little takeout place around the corner where they fry the chicken and make the takoyaki.
