Sukiyaki Dinner

We had a sukiyaki dinner to celebrate Alli's birthday on Sunday night. Her birthday is actually Oct. 21st, but she was in Hawaii on her birthday so we postponed the celebration. As you can see we cook right at the table. There are three gas burners under the sukiyaki pans. Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish with beef and vegetables cooked in special sauce. We all used our chopsticks to stir the food a bit while it cooks and then we take out what we want to eat. We served rice in our bowls. This is a fun way to eat dinner - cook and eat as you go.




I tried to get a close up of the food here. The grapes don't go in the sukiyaki! And yes the pile of red is raw beef - ice cold. (As you can see, I still need help in the photography area. I didn't get the close-up that I wanted, but this will have to do.



Here's Alli with her boyfriend, Brendon

Amy and her puppies. Miniature Dachshunds. Want to buy a puppy?


Here's a picture from another night when she brought the whole litter. They are so cute, and so fun to watch them play.
