Kaoru Minami
Born February 9, 1943

Last Tuesday on the 9th, we celebrated my mother-in-law's 67th birthday. We got together at my wife's older brother's place for the party. His wife, Mai chan, made a delicious dinner for us.

Nabe

Nabe means pot in Japanese. As a dish, nabe is like a stew with lots of vegetables, meat (usaually pork), seafood and tofu. The soup can be made many different ways. Our favorite is kimchi nabe (korean), but this nabe is more Japanese made a certain way I'm not sure of. But it was sure good!

Tennis on the Wii

We don't own any console game devices in our house. Kazuhito got one for free when he signed up for something. He borrowed some games from a friend for Jade to play while we were visiting. Jade got into tennis.

Blowing Out the Candles

Missed One

I could have gotten brighter shots, but in my experience, I always get motion blur if the shutter is any slower when blowing out candles. Still, even though these photos are kind of dark, I think they turned out well. I'm glad I invested in my Sigma 30mm f/1.4.

Practice for This May

Kazuhito and Mai are engaged and they are in the middle of planning a wedding for this May. It's an exciting time for them.

Chocolate Is My Favorite

This cake was light and fluffy. It was simply delicious.
