Anniversary Dinner 2014 @ n/naka

Hello everyone :D

It's a memorial weekend in the US, and we are invited to a BBQ on the Memorial Day, so looking forward to the event. Nice relaxing weekend!

On our wedding anniversary last week, my husband and I went to our favorite Modern Japanese restaurant in LA called n/naka. This is our third year celebrating our anniversary at this restaurant.

They have two courses to choose from ; a modern kaiseki, or vegetarian. We chose the regular modern kaiseki course which comes with thirteen great dishes.

The service was great, they remembered what we had for drink last year, and told me to take many photos, so I quickly took pictures of each course. Enjoy some of the photos!

 

 

Many seafood ingredients were from Japan, and the veggies from the chef's garden. Everything was fresh with great flavor, and each course was served in perfect timing. At the end, we both were pleasantly full, and having our mini photo taken as a gift was a great service.

We really had a great time, and are hoping to celebrate our next anniversary here, too.

Thank you for visiting, and pleae enjoy your weekend :D

Anniversary, Flowers, and Ice Cream

Good morning everyone :D

Last week, my husband and I celebrated our 11th year wedding anniversary.

We simply exchanged flowers and cards, then went to have a very nice dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Then got some flowers at a garden center so we can replace the flower pot at the entrance of our house.

I think we made a pretty good choice.  The old flowers in the pot is now replaced in a different one and set at the backyard, so we can continue enjoying them : )

For our anniversary, we also got this new ice cream maker!

The usual icecream maker for home uses have to have the inner container freezed overnight before using, but this one comes with a motor in the machine, so no need for it.

On the anniversary day, I made my first batch of strawberry vanilla icecream. All the ingredients I used are organic, and had turned out pretty well.

When I used to work at a restaurant, we made all ice cream in the house, so can't wait to try out my next one soon.

It went up over 100F last week, so Ice cream will be a good choice as a dessert!

Okay, time to go. Let's have a happy starting of a new week, and I will write about our anniversary dinner maybe tomorrow. Thanks for visiting :D
