LFM Gets a Makeover

You might have noticed that things are looking a bit different around here! The redesign has been in the works for a while and I finally had a bit of time to sit down and finish pounding it out. Thank you to the wonderful and extremely patient Mr. Fuji for helping me fiddle with my […]

Scotcheroos: No holiday is complete without treats!

The Fujis are back home again (we got back late yesterday afternoon)! We had a great trip. It’s always nice to be with family, but it’s also nice to be home sleeping in my own bed again! Spending holidays with family is always especially fun, and the 4th of July was no exception. We met […]

Oh! Falafel!…Part II

Continued from Oh! Falafel!…Part I… The next morning (last Friday) I went back to the restaurant at 8am to observe the morning prep and to talk to the owner, Mustafa Khader (“Khader”), about his restaurant. As I mentioned in my last post, the restaurant is a family-run business. Khader represents the third generation in his […]

Oh! Falafel!…Part I

Mr. Fuji and I love eating foods from around the world. It can be Japanese, Thai, German, Italian, Cambodian, or French. It doesn’t matter, we love it all. One of our favorite types of food is Middle Eastern food. There’s just something about the combination of ingredients and flavors that makes for total comfort food. […]

There are traditionally two […]

Off to an exciting start!

For some reason when I posted on Wednesday I thought today (Friday) was the 27th! Obviously today is the 26th, and not the 27th, so you won’t get to hear about this month’s Daring Bakers challenge until tomorrow! Sometimes I think I have a brick for a brain. Heh. In other news, Washoku Warriors is […]

Fujified Strawberry Flatbread

To me, strawberry shortcake says summertime. When I was growing up my mom would make strawberry shortcake for dessert when strawberries were in season. She would make simple slightly sweet biscuits which we would top with cut up strawberries sprinkled with sugar and then pour milk over everything and maybe even add a bit of […]

Magnetic Measuring Spoons Winner!

I thoroughly enjoyed all of your answers to my question about what inspires you in the kitchen and why you cook what you cook. On so many of your comments I found myself nodding my head thinking, “Yeah! Me too!” There were also a lot of things I hadn’t thought about. Thank you so much […]
