Next trip???


So, don't be jealous...
But, feel free to be a little jealous...
Cause check out the LEGIT place I went last weekend!





Ok, I didn't spend the entire trip in this little crevice. We only slept there for a few hours... :)
Next family trip: St. George!

And, hey--bechya never seen THIS hike in the snow! Nor would I recommend that you ever go when it's snowy... :)

The New Parents

All I have to say is thank goodness for adoption.

Japanese Night at the Culinary School

Rich, Mom, Christian and I met at UVU's Culinary School Restaurant for Japanese Night this past week.  Our reservations fell through for French night, so we took the last reservation slot available (Japanese night) and crossed our fingers that the it wouldn't be too fishy an occasion.   No such luck.

Rich with his sushi appetizer and miso, a fishy broth with tofu chunks and green onions.  
Dad would have loved it. (ha ha)
 

Our "salads": seaweed (Rich's), and cucumber vinegar (Janel's)

Mom's entree, featuring super long noodles 
(and everything but the kitchen sink, including beef, potatoes, carrots, tofu, two kinds of mushrooms)

My entree (super yummy noodles and beef in a super fishy (gross) broth)

Rich enjoying a cute little mushroom--one of a few kinds we tasted.
Not pictured: Mom's warm egg-and-mushroom custard


Christian getting a little sushi action.  He's obviously impressed, don't you think?


Dessert: tofu cheesecake.  It was actually pretty delicious.  Not quite as yummy as Richard's chocolate tart, but that disappeared before we had a chance to photograph it.
