Unfortunately, I was under the weather for the whole time they were in town, so I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted.
Pizza lunch in Santa Monica.
Every time my family comes in town, we never miss the Spice Table in Downtown! Their oyster omelet is one of my favorite dishes there. In fact, their food even helped me recovering from the sickness. It's all the spices!
We visited Jason at work.
Dinner in K-Town. 2011 Scribe, Pinot Noir (Carneros) was a beautiful pairing with un-marinated short ribs.
I took Wataru (nephew) to a fish market, and we cooked the freshly filleted salmon together for dinner the same day. The freshly-polished rice, cooked in the donabe rice cooker, "Kamado-san", was sold out in just a short time!
Happy family.
Mom will stay for 3 more weeks...she's excited.
