In New Bern there was Osaka. I used their drive thru at least once a week for Hibachi Steak and vegetables. Even better was the more expensive Musashi. That was the one where they cooked the food on the table in front of you. Last night I attempted to re-create the Japanese Steakhouse experience! No, I didn't cook the food on the table. I didn't flick a shrimp at anyone or make a flaming volcano out of onion rings. But I did make a pretty meal!
See? I even made that white sauce they serve that we call "liquid crack" because it's so addictive. I found the recipe online. It's Hibachi steak with fried rice, zucchini, onions and mushrooms. Wasn't as good as the original, but it was pretty good. Maybe I should've made the onion ring volcano!

Way to go! You know, some people think Dad is Japanese! Maybe you have a natural ability! Ha! Mom
I'm proud of you. It looks great! Will have to call you Martha.
I know exactly what you mean! Japan had a lot of different foods but if it wasn't originally Japanese, they covered it with corn and cheese. Even pizza and sauerbraten!!
Everyone on base missed Taco Bell. Seems the Japanese are not overly fond of Mexican food, which is a Palatas family staple! We finally found a wonderful Mexican restaurant in Tokyo, but it was not easy to find.
As wonderful as other countries are, living abroad really makes you appreciate the old USA, huh?
