I was born in Japan, to an American mom and a Japanese dad. We lived in Tokyo until I was 12, and then we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. The U.S. has been my primary residence ever since that move, and I call it home. But I think of Japan as my home too. I still have family living there (including my 104 year-old Grandpa - who is still very much alive and kicking!).
I totally dig being a mom to two kids, and I love cooking and eating good food. I've also discovered running in the last few years, and love it. Running, exercising - and stretching! - feels really good to me. There are days I feel like the most awesomest parent/chick, and feel like have everything figured out. And then, there are days where I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. It's so wacky. Yet...I can't imagine doing anything else. Does anyone else feel like that?
I like funny things that make me laugh. I love the feeling when I wake up and the sun is shining. If I can stay in bed and rub my feet against the sheets for a while, it makes me even more happy.
I don't really do anything extraordinary or news worthy. I just take care of my peeps as best as I can. And I guess...you know, like most people - I just want to love and be loved :)

DeleteHey make some with Bacon.. Bacon with cheese, sourcream or maple flavor, something savory. Keep up the good work.

I am dreaming about making a savory one! - like a topping with crispy bacon, sauteed onions and cheese, with parsley... Love the maple flavor idea too. Thank you so much for the encouragement :) I'll keep working on it!!
