#MarketFriday & A Girl with a Big Appetite in #MyCalifornia

(Edited)

Pre-pandemic, my staff treated me to dinner for my birthday.
They know that I love Japanese food.

And behind the trees is a small Japanese restaurant that serves excellent food!

ALL photos in this article were taken by @silversaver888. Please use slider to see photos.

The restaurant can accomodate a crowd with the outdoor seating. Most of the employees are students from the university. They were very friendly and provided us excellent service that was fast and thorough.

The food was so good, I cleaned out my plate

except for some morsels.

If you don't believe me, the empty plates will prove it!


Menu ingredient descriptions of the food I ate were taken from the printed menu of the restaurant.


First things first... Strawberry Mojito with my dinner!

For starters, I ordered the MISO BEET SALAD: Braised garden fresh beets served with honey miso vinaigrette, pine nuts, micro greens. It was a great way to start dinner.

Then I ordered this PUFF DADDY: Crab mix-stuffed shrimp tempura with creamy special house sauce and onions. It was delicious and loved it so much that it was a trigger for me to deliberately leave a piece out. That is just me.

NINETY-NINE ROLL: Shrimp, eel, panko shrimp, avocado, sauce, masago and onion. This was ordered for me by my Admin. It was good. I shared this plate with everyone, because I already ordered the three other plates for my dinner that is still to come.

I love all sorts of steak. Tuna steak done perfect is a favorite.SEA STEAK: Lightly seared raw tuna, shichimi soy dressing, daikon, green onions. Super YUMMY! Yum, yum!!

ZIG ZAG SOFT SHELL CRAB HANDROLL: Deep friedsoft shell crab in spicy avocado blend, masago and onion. This handroll is to die for! A great mix of crunchy textures, and so delicious! This was my main entree.

The finish to my meal.. TORO ROLLL: Toro (toh-roh) is the term for the fatty part of the tuna, found in the belly portion of the fish. I love, love this sushi (yet I prefer sashimi- just the fish, no rice). Too delectable!!! I intended this plate to be my last and final plate..... until another dish came!

BEEF TERIYAKI: Stir fried beef with teriyaki sauce. This was ordered for me by my secretary, whom I value so dearly. And so I had to eat as much of it because I know it will please her. I had to skip the rice. This plate seriously stuffed me!
Use slider to see photos.

Yikes! Dessert too! XANGO CHEESECAKE: Smooth, creamy cheesecake
with a tangy finish, rolled in a flaky pastry tortilla, topped with
powdered sugar and drizzled with caramel and raspberry sauces. Too rich! I could only eat two pieces.

Do you believe me now?A Girl with a Big Appetite!


😍So YUMMY delicious and #ilikeitalot!😍

Thanks for the greeting, @stever82. My birthday is still to come in the last week of July. But I [truly and do] celebrate it almost the entire month of July starting with America's Birthday! July is a happy month for me! The tipucurate is a wonderful gift which I appreciate!

You know my fondness for Japanese culture Sis and Sushi is up there with at least three Japanese restaurants that are almost within walking distance from my home. To add my older Son is a fan of Sushi too and is learning how to make the basics but he's not there yet with the delicate frying technique yet. My mouth watered as I read your article, almost 9 pm and I haven't had dinner yet. What a day! And WOW, I almost forgot about the draw. Thank you so much Sis @silversaver888
I'm still hoping to make it to my vacation, my mind is feeling foggy a lot and hard to concentrate all week. And its gonna be tough.
Always, with Love... 🌺 💝 🌹 💓 🌸 🌼

So I have been preparing sushi platters for myself. And I enjoy it very much. The problem is I love the sushi rice with the furikake seasoning so much that it makes me eat too much carbs, LOL! My favorite is really sashimi which I cannot prepare at home because I don't know where to source the fish.
CONGRATULATIONS, sis !

That was glorious! You really do know how to order up a delectable variety! You are definitely in tune with how it tastes best! Oh, the tempura shrimp puffs were so good! I am not sure I would have been able to stop! Leave no puffs behind!

The lightly seared tuna looked so good. I think I need some for tomorrow nights dinner. Well, maybe not. Most of our restaurants are not open. What a wonderful group of people that work for you. The only way a group of people would take you to lunch on your very special day is if you were an amazing person, which I had no doubt about it. The way you come across on-screen is exactly what they already know about you. You are a blessing to so many, on and off the screen. Your positive attitude and cheerful outlook on life are refreshing. Thank you so much for the sun that shines within.

And next time, can you call me when you are having Stir-fried beef with teriyaki sauce? Yummy!!! Your secretary has good taste!

It is people like yourself that make this challenge successful! Well, that and the Japanese food. You can never go wrong there! Thank you for being part of the #MarketFriday challenge and in case anyone reading this is wondering or curious about it, this will clear that up!

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge!

How to Participate:

Go to the market! Any market will do! Food, clothing, plant, or animal, if you wish. You can go to the zoo, an art auction, and restaurants. Anywhere or anything that you pay money for any kind of service.
Take pictures! Be creative! It’s fun!
Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
Post the picture.(s)
Don’t forget to use the MarketFriday Community #196308 to post from or hashtag it! #MarketFriday by @dswigle If you hashtag it, drop the link to your post here so I can easily find them.

I was sooo good! I kept reminding myself not to overeat, and I could hear my Mommie reminding me that to build character, I must eat less of what I want and more of what I do not like. I love Japanese food very much, and let me tell you that it was a struggle! I can tell that you are very familiar with foods of different flavors and origins. It comes with being well-traveled. You are a renaissance woman, @dswigle! and you always leave me motivated, encouraged and inspired with every comment you make on my articles. For this I am especially grateful! You are indeed, the sunshine of my blogging life, my beautiful friend @dswigle. Take care 🥰🌺🤙
