just like mom's home cooking...

on 7/1

Troy called and invited me to join what is usually his Japanese lesson but turned into a cooking class for him. They had made this "fancy" style of cooking that is used for parties and celebrations.

First-may a layer of salt on the tray
Second-set the fish onto the pile of salt
Third-place a bamboo leave over the fish
Fourth-cover EVERYTHING in salt (and draw a fish in the salt)
Fifth-bake for about an hour

When the hour is up the the salt will have hardened and the fish will be SUPER tender.

Brake the salt open with a knife to reveal the delicious dinner....


Troy working hard to get us our food...



Success!!!


Side dish...(eel and octopus with caramelized onions...)



The whole table...


Thank you to our WONDERFUL hostess...
